Trash (Suede song)

"Trash" is a song by the British alternative rock band Suede, released in July 1996 as the first single from their third album, Coming Up. It is one of Suede's most commercially successful and critically acclaimed songs, often considered a signature track of the band.

The song's lyrics, written by Brett Anderson, explore themes of alienation, teenage rebellion, and the search for belonging. Musically, "Trash" is characterized by its glam rock-influenced sound, featuring a driving rhythm, catchy guitar riffs by Richard Oakes, and Anderson's distinctive vocals. The song's upbeat tempo and anthemic chorus contributed to its popularity.

"Trash" reached number three on the UK Singles Chart and received positive reviews for its energy and songwriting. Its success helped propel Coming Up to become one of Suede's best-selling albums. The song remains a popular choice for radio airplay and is frequently performed during Suede's live concerts. It is considered a defining song of the Britpop era, even though Suede predated the rise of Britpop itself.
