Bastards of Young by The Replacements

Matt Zeigler and Joseph Moore explore The Replacements' Bastards of Young and what Paul Westerberg's songwriting reveals about growing up, finding purpose, and feeling lost in early adulthood. In this B-side edition of the Cultish Creative Music Club on Just Press Record, they unpack the song's lyrics, music theory, and unconventional music video to explain why a punk anthem from the 1980s still resonates across generations.
