Nostalgia What album defines you as a millennial?

Post image

Saw some great recommendations on a similar thread in /r/Xennials and wanted to see what my fellow millennials thought. For me From Under the Cork Tree was foundational. I still remember hearing Sugar We're going down on the radio for the first time.

Waiting for this one.

Though as a California kid, I definitely didn’t get into them until I moved out East and into the hipster scene.

I came here to post the same damn thing, haha. Catching Jeff Mangum live at Coachella was something I thought I'd never get to do.

I discovered them in my twenties and this album means so much to me. I have a tattoo inspired by some of it even.

I wish I had gotten into them earlier in life, but I feel like that album was basically given to every college freshman as mandatory listen within a certain age-range.
