Welcome to Suburbia
To celebrate Huck 45, curated by artist, skateboarder and chronicler of teenage California Ed Templeton, we are having a Huck website summer takeover dedicated to Ed’s longtime muse, suburbia.
We’ve got sounds from Plague Vendor, a poetic take on living in the ‘burbs from Aaron Fagan and our regular series, the Suburban Youth Pop Quiz, where we ask characters from our world what their suburban youth meant to them.
Check out the whole Welcome to Suburbia series or jump straight to the Suburban Youth Pop Quiz.
