About

Ten Influential Teenage Albums is a Facebook survey meme in which the participant shares a list of ten albums that influenced or defined his or her musical preferences during their teenage years. Upon entering circulation on Facebook in January 2017, the survey meme went viral on the social networking site, particularly among the Millennials who grew up during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Origin

The practice of listing formative albums is a common practice among music lovers and was long before the Facebook trend began. For example, Reddit Reed498^[1] posted such a list to /r/Music on July 22nd, 2015.

Spread

In mid-January, 2017, a trend began spreading around Facebook that asked users to list albums that left a lasting impression on them as a teenager, with the post, "List 10 albums that made a lasting impression on you as a TEENAGER, but only one per band/artist. Don't take too long and don't think too long."^[2] After a few days of the trend spreading on Facebook, news outlets began posting lists from their staff. Pitchfork,^[3] Spin,^[4] and Jezabel^[5] were among the major outlets to post such lists.
