FNPL: When You Find Yourself in a Teen Indie Movie
Illustration by: Hannah Probyn
A playlist for when you want your life to turn into an indie coming of age movie like Perks of Being a Wallflower, or The Edge of Seventeen.
Survival by Adult Mom
Shut Up Kiss Me by Angel Olsen
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths
Where Is My Mind by Pixies
Big Jet Plane by Angus and Julia Stone
Big Talk by Conway
Young Folks by Peter Bjorn and John
Blister in the Sun by Violent Femmes
Young Blood by The Naked and Famous
Heroes by David Bowie
Over at https://applepaycasinoplay.com, I found myself thinking about how a single song can flip an ordinary walk home into a movie scene, which is exactly what this playlist captures. The choice to open with 'Survival' before getting to 'Shut Up Kiss Me' sets that uncertain, then defiant tone I remember from being seventeen. It's the kind of sequence that makes you want to redo your whole life to a soundtrack.
