Wheatus

Teenage years may be fleeting for the Platinum-selling New York pop rockers, but it seems "Teenage Dirtbag" is for life, as Wheatus' debut single from 2000 popped up yet again in 2022, making itself known in a way never seen before in the form of a TikTok trend.

The "Teenage Dirtbag photos" trend has now been embraced by nearly a million people, including celebrities such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, Mark Ruffalo, Lil Nas X, Jon Bon Jovi, Chevy Chase, and countless others, resulting in the hashtag #teenagedirtbag being viewed over 2 billion times worldwide.

Brendan B. Brown, commonly known as BBB to fans, is the lead vocalist, guitarist, and the only remaining founding member of the band who topped charts around the world (no.2 in UK) with "Teenage Dirtbag" and followed it up with the UK no.3 hit, a cover of Erasure's "A Little Respect".
