Yungblud went at the generation gap hammer and tongs with his first mixtape, 2018’s 21st Century Liability, and its follow-up, The Underrated Youth EP (2019). Grabbing from emo, pop-punk, hip-hop and – shamelessly – from MIA, the gobby Doncastrian berated clueless parents, refused Ritalin and styled himself as the voice of young suburban angst.

Fortunately, Dominic Harrison’s obnoxiousness came with empathy. Many of Yungblud’s concerns have been timely, privileging sexual fluidity and LGBTQ+ teens and decrying gun and sexual violence. In May, he attended several days of Black Lives Matter protests in the US.

Yungblud’s first official album, Weird!, is hardly that, given its mainstream bounce. It does nod to a widening set of influences – Superdeadfriends owes much to Beastie Boys, and there’s a Cure guitar nod on the title track. But there remains a deep disjuncture between his exuberance (see Cotton Candy) and a set of songs that riff hard on Harrison’s low self-esteem.

Mid-album, Love Song throws up its hands at that very emotion, citing his parents’ dust-ups and a lack of self-regard as reasons why he finds relationships hard. Ultimately, Harrison has very definitely found an audience, but many of these Gen Z themes are being explored more creatively elsewhere.
