Over the weekend, her song shot to the top of the U.S. iTunes charts, with the show’s largely teenage fanbase taking to Twitter and TikTok to post about their new musical discovery from decades past.
. When Bush would deliver one of her rare missives, or announce a new release, I’d scour online message boards to join the conversation and share my excitement. One of my greatest regrets in life—no exaggeration here—was missing theconcert residency at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2014, her first live performances since 1979, and very possibly her last.
All of this is to say, I’d probably be a prime candidate to turn my nose up at the fact Gen Z has discovered the music of one of my heroes through a teen drama—but on the contrary, I’m delighted. We all have to make those discoveries sometime and somewhere, even if that is through a show on Netflix, and gatekeeping our favorite artists serves nothing but our own egos.
Part of the wonder of discovering Bush is the sense that her various oddities validate your own experiences as an outsider.
As a teenager who always felt a little different , I found a sense of refuge in Bush’s music; a reminder not just that it was okay not to conform, but that nonconformity is something that could be celebrated, or elevated to the highest levels of art. Even if I loathe the phrase entirely, Bush really did make me feel seen.
So, I’m happy for the Gen Z-ers discovering Bush for the first time. I’m excited for them to dive into all of the richly realized worlds she’s crafted over the years, across 10 records, dozens of music videos, a film, and songs that tell stories of accidentally dancing with Hitler, having sex with snowmen, or pay homage to her washing machine. And may it inspire them too: Lord knows we could use a little more of Bush’s strain of weird and wonderful creative magic in the world right now.
