If you don’t take antidepressants, or if you like upbeat music, or if you haven’t spent too much time online, all the talk about Boygenius can be confusing. Or, perhaps, you haven’t seen Boisenias’ story at all.
But trust me, it’s been a big week for certain corners of the internet.Boygenius is a supergroup made up of musicians Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker, each a darling of the melancholic people. . Together, they’re an unstoppable trio of songwriters who come together like Voltron to make the saddest shit you’ll ever hear. And they released a new album.
I don’t know if you’ve ever heard 1,800 people yell “I want to get skinny” in unison, but I have and it’s something only Boisenias can do. They debuted with an EP, and the popularity of each member has grown since then. Bridger is now a legal celebrity.
So when the supergroup finally announced their long-rumored follow-up, with three new songs, people online were wonderful Excited. (People are me, I am people.)

Excitement is everything if you’re wondering(opens in new window) that’s all(opens in new window) Tik Tok too.
It’s been interesting to see how Boygenius have grown from a small indie trio to ‘the most exciting supergroup in the world’.(opens in new window) It shows how much the Internet itself has changed. In 2018, the internet was centered on scrolling political destinies, but the mood of 2023 leans toward apocalyptic absurdity. Perfect for Boygenius. This trio creates sad, lovely music. But they’re also funny, one is the name of the band, but it’s silly and laughing into the abyss.
This is one of the reasons Bridgers has risen from indie darling to patron saint of grief over the past five years.She’s funny and self-aware, and she certainly has an interesting love life(opens in new window) People are following you constantly.
The world is getting sadder. The band became more famous.It makes sense that memes, jokes, and excitement were all over the place online this week. the cover of rolling stone(opens in new window).
