Los Angeles post-punk Kit Major launches herself back on the scene with her single “Teenage Wannabe”. The song is a wickedly fun, tongue-in-cheek anthem that walks the tightrope between chaos and confession, challenging listeners to accept the messiness of self-invention in an era that covets perfection.
“Teenage Wannabe” thrums with a filmic pulse, dripping out of punk energy and tempting you into theatricality. From its biting lyrics to its neon-slick hooks, the song plays like a rebellious homage to campy B-horror and sci-fi movies, the type that manages at once to make you laugh and scream, while wondering what’s real.
“‘Teenage Wannabe’ is a power anthem with campy B-horror/sci-fi vibes. It’s an acknowledgment of how easily you can lose yourself when everything seems manufactured, but also a reminder that identity itself is something that cannot be fixed. “Teenage Wannabe” is so effective in part because it refuses to be anything but unapologetically silly, even as it lands an emotional gut-punch.
A searingly honest account of the perils of youth, and strategically seeking authenticity over everything, “Teenage Wannabe” points to an exciting new chapter for Kit Major. Kit Major is not chasing an image, but she’s reclaiming it.
