Liz Phair's 'Exile in Guyville' just turned 30. Samantha Lopez reflects on what the album meant to her.
, turns 30 today. Originally released on June 22, 1993, the record was hailed by music critics as a landmark indie-rock album by an emerging female musician. Three decades later, that sentiment holds true as the record continues to reach a new generation of teenage girls every few years.—Phair pioneered a messy and provocative approach to sex that fought through the male-dominated musical landscape of the time as well as against oppressive norms hindering female sexuality.
For instance, I’d stay up late, long after my parents and siblings had gone to bed, and put on the Cinemax channel—its after-hours programming nicknamed “Skinemax”—and just watch. I would study the movements, the acts. I’d feel what I later identified as the beginning sensations of pleasure, and I wouldn’t look away until an overpowering sense of guilt came over me and sent me running to my parents’ bedroom to tell them what I had been doing.
The first Liz Phair song I ever listened to was Guyville’s gut-wrenching “Fuck and Run.” Here Phair sings about the darker side of sex, the emotional wringer that it can put us through, and how it can be used to numb the pain deep down inside. I was 24 when I first heard this song, and in the midst of my first real heartbreak over a guy too chickenshit to call me his girlfriend.
