After noticing all the retro music in Netflix production of 13 Reasons Why, I was inspired to create a mixtape of 13 songs from my own High School experience. I’ve never really looked back fondly on this painful time of life, and it’s often been hard to hear the music which embodied this confusing era for me. But there’s no denying how beautiful and gut wrenching these songs are, even several decades later. It’s been awhile since my last non-Chillcast mixtape. Let me know if you enjoyed this odd trip down memory lane, and I’ll consider doing it again with a different musical theme.

And, btw, the book was better.
