The Millennial's Guide to Eccentric Music

The Millennial’s Guide to Eccentric Music is a personal tour through the strange, brilliant, beautiful, and occasionally ridiculous music that surrounded a generation. Moving through alternative rock, electronic music, metal, hip-hop, pop, dance, and music from around the world, this book goes beyond the obvious hits to explore favorite songs, forgotten gems, deep cuts, unlikely masterpieces, and the artists who made them. Part listening guide and part cultural time capsule, it is designed to be explored with music close at hand. Follow the recommendations, revisit something you haven’t heard in twenty years, or discover something completely new. This isn’t an attempt to rank the “greatest” music ever recorded. It’s a celebration of musical curiosity—and an invitation to wander through some of the eccentric sounds that helped define a generation.
