Following up on our School theme last week, this week's theme concerns those individuals who are now out of school and marauding around your town: Teenagers.

We start at the beginning of the teenage years.
Big Star - "Thirteen" - #1 Record (1972)
Stars - "14 Forever" - Sad Robots (2008)
The Square Waves - "Fifteen and Done" - Amplified to Landscapes (2011)
Let's continue with the middle years of teenage life.
Super Wild Horses - "Fifteen" - Fifteen (2010)
Buzzcocks - "Sixteen Again" - Love Bites (1978)
The Indelicates - "Sixteen" - American Demo (2008)
We detour from the specific ages of the teen years to delve into the general teen experience.
The Virgins - "Teen Lovers" - The Virgins (2008)
Apex Manor - "Teenage Blood" - The Year of Magical Drinking (2011)
We Are Wolves - "Teenage, Bats & Anthropology" - Total Magique (2007)
We dive back into the teenage ages. Adolescence bring change—and it's not always appreciated by your friends, and vice versa.
Broken Social Scene - "Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl" - You Forgot It in People (2002)
Hey Rosetta! - "Seventeen" - Seeds (2011)
Arguably the biggest change of the teenage years comes when you turn the supposed age of adulthood: 18.
I Blame Coco - "Eighteen with a Bullet" - Island Life: 50 Years of Island Records (2009)
Tegan & Sara - "Nineteen" - The Con (2007)
We end with a beautiful song that perfectly captures that teenage feeling: a million emotions you can't name, swirling in radiant colors that inspire you, depress you and surprise you at every moment.
Sonic Youth - "Teen Age Riot" - Daydream Nation (1988)
