A TEENAGE boy has been turned on to seriously obscure alternative music after hearing it for the first time in a series of popular commercial films.
15-year-old Jack Browne’s listening habits have taken a turn for the leftfield after he heard tracks by indie artists like The Clash, AC/DC and Nirvana while watching Marvel movies on Disney Plus.
He said: “I never knew there was such subversive, countercultural music that spoke to my soul until I found it hidden away in these multi-million dollar blockbusters.
“I’d been obsessively reading Pitchfork and RateYourMusic, trying to discover something so much more real and authentic than radio pap, when I could have been absorbing the radical experimentation in the Venom: The Last Dance trailer instead.
“There’s no going back for me now. My eyes have been opened. It’s all freak shit like The Ramones, Garbage, and the Beastie Boys that I’m bumping on my iPhone, and I’m ready to tell girls if they ask.
“Though their music is so much more powerful when you watch them in the scenes they were created for. That’s when it really blows you away.”
Browne’s father said: “Normcore shit. I’m into really niche music that you find in the later episodes of unpopular Netflix shows that got canned after one season.”
