Wheatus Celebrates 25 Year's of 'Teenage Dirtbag': the Complete Timeline from 2000 to 2025
By Marcus Vance
Reaching the quarter-century mark as an independent rock outfit is a rare feat. Doing so on the back of a bedroom demo that continues to pull millions of new teenage listeners each year is almost unheard of. Wheatus never chased the shiny production trends of modern pop, nor did they dilute their idiosyncratic style to please corporate labels. Brendan B. Brown turned childhood alienation into an evergreen masterwork. Twenty-five years later, that scruffy, falsetto-driven metal fantasy remains the undisputed soundtrack for anyone who ever felt like an outcast.
