Lindsay doesn’t want to be a geek anymore. She’s totally ditched her old friends and now she cuts class to hang with the freaks. Does she even care about the Mathletes?! Or, like, her future or whatever? Maybe this is just a weird phase…or maybe she’s changing for good.
Throw on your army jacket, skip history class, and befriend some freaks with these 11 songs.
Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

I am unhealthily excited about this playlist because Lindsay Weir is my teenage dream and Freaks and Geeks is my bible
I dig today’s background, by the way!

Log in to replyOMG this reminds me of my favorite Freaks and Geeks scene where Lindsay puts on The Grateful Dead and dances around in her bedroom and somehow it’s awesome instead of totally lame.

Log in to replyThe first song is so sad.I’m listening to it while playing Super Mario Flash games.I can’t even play like I usually do( which is excellent not to brag)Ok the 2nd song came on.Yup,I know this one….my parents spam me with the oldies station on the radio. I like the playlist so far :D good songs—-> will listen to k-pop when the playlist is finished.
whenever there is a music…..3rd song is on…*jamming*….. whenever there is a music post I always mention I love K-pop.
Log in to replyAlright,BYE
GIIRRRLLL, K-pop is my guilty pleasure.
I know it’s so sugary and repetitive and whatnot, but it’s so damn addictive. It’s the kinda music you just can go and have fun with. My friend introduced (or should I say spread the virus?) to me back in high school and… I. never. looked. back. Not even once.
What are you liking right now? There are some pretty good newbie groups, yeah? :D
Log in to replyI cannot explain my love for K-pop.I listen to it all day,all night,every day.I ADORE it.
Log in to replyI love ( love love love love love love) Big Bang,Tablo,2ne1,Teen Top,BEAST,Shinee,Super Junior( Their videos are addictive,I tell you.I wish I could dance with a fraction of their awesomeness) Girl’s Generation,and yeah. I’m a total fan-girl,you would not believe.
I got introduced by myself.Roaming around the internet and I found BIG BANG.<<<<<——My favorite of ALL TIME.
I.will.never.look.back.either.
Newbies are the best.I think my favorite rite now.It's fun to see them find their styles.*creepy stalker fan-girl over here* I'm glad I'm not the only one to catch the K-POP virus :D
Yay! I’m relatively new to k-pop but my friends sort of held me down and force fed it through my ears. I listened to Girls Generation. Any other suggestions?
Log in to replyomg it reminds me of highschool days… sad but happy things i wish i have back. (okok college isnt that bad ;)

Every day I am more and more amazed at how Rookie perfectly relates to what’s going on in my life! (It’s eerily accurate) So this playlist is amazing and Led Zeppelin and Grateful Dead and Freaks and Geeks = pure genius. (Also, Carole King?!? Chicken Soup with Rice :D)
Log in to replyOne of the first things I end up telling people I meet is that I love Freaks and Geeks, it’s just one of those things that ALWAYS comes up. Also, I love the Flashing Lights! They are so Canadian and I love their music. I am so overly pleased with this playlist.
Log in to replyI’m from London so didn’t know anything about Virgin Suicides, Picnic On Hanging Rock, Freaks and Geeks, Ghost World, and the other onee. I just started watching Freaks and Geeks episodes and I love it! Can you buy a set of them?

Log in to replyAww man! Too cool!
Log in to replyWhats the name of the actress who played Lindsey?
Linda Cardellini :)
Log in to replyI love you guyss!
Log in to replyI’m only missing ‘Bad Reputation’ on here, but it’s still just too perfect..

Lindsay Weir is my hero. Freaks and Geeks is one of the best shows ever, and I can now no longer listen to Cream without thinking of the band episode. Wonderful list!
Log in to replyFor some reason it wont play for me? Im in the uk viewing the page through safari, could that make any difference?
Log in to replyIf you’re using an iphone, just download the 8 tracks app and search RookieMag. :)
Log in to replyHaha I saw the “Man, I hate high school,” and I said out loud, “Oh my gosh, ME TOO…” and my mom was like, “Why are you talking to the computer…?”
Log in to replyhappy birthday tavi!!!! you are a great source of inspiration for me and i love your work! i hope i can work for you someday Feliz cumpleanos!
Log in to replyI LOVE freaks and geeks but one thing I dislike about the show is that the geeks and Linsey rarely ever stand up for themselves. I feel like sometimes that’s unrealistic. I dunno, I just can’t relate. but I love this playlist!!
Log in to replyCarole King, Cream, and Led Zeppelin!!!! I’m in love!
Log in to replyI just created an account on here to say that FREAKS AND GEEKS AND LINDSAY ARE AMAZING and I actually just bought an army jacket from an army surplus store because of Lindsay. And there should be even more Freaks and Geeks related stuff on Rookie, like “Secret Style Icon: Every Single Character on Freaks and Geeks” and stuff…
Log in to replyWhere’s Bad Reputation though? Haha
Log in to replyI am a 32-year-old woman caught in the reminiscense of those 90′s gone by and I absolutely love, love, LOVE everything that Rookie stands for.
I cannot believe thet Rookie is the place, where I feel my voice being spoken the loudest and where I can go to get inspiration and learn more about my own gender.
How cool is that?!
And I love Lindsay Weir!
Log in to replyIt would have been really funny, if Styx’s “Lady” was on the playlist.
Log in to replyI recently watched Freaks and Geeks for the first time, and I’m having trouble deciding if I want to date Lindsay Weir or be Lindsay Weir. It might be both, which is totally not weird or anything, no, not at all…
Log in to replyCAROLE KING YES
Log in to replyi’d never thought that the high school from freaks and geeks and the high school from glee have the same name.
Log in to replynot to sound like a pseudo-intellectual or anything but lindsey weir’s phase or not wanting to be a geek anymore really speaks to me MAN
Log in to replyPlease do a Hanging Out With Lux Lisbon or Jess Day or Sally Draper or Angela Chase or Daria Morgendorffer or I have some many more suggestions!!
Log in to replythis is awesome! I’d really like Hanging Out With Lane Kim playlist <3
Log in to replyThe second song describes my summer. AUGH WHY IS THIS SO AWESOME THAT IT MAKES ME SAD THIS DOESN’T MAKE SENSE
Log in to replyThis has been my favorite show for such a long time. I don’t really mind that it was cancelled cause I just make my dream season 2 in my mind.
