BEEFNetflix music supervisor Tiffany Anders explains why they leaned into millennial angst with the soundtrack of the dark comedy series.
Last week, Netflix and A24 dropped their new series Beef, a dark comedy centered on two people who won't let a road rage incident go. The series primarily follows Amy and Danny who wind up in a high-ish-speed car chase around their town. Following the event, both can't stop thinking about what happened, leading them down a rocky path of revenge that only ever escalates.
In just the trailer alone, Beef lays out the rage Amy and Danny experience, which is something creator and showrunner Lee Sung Jin wanted to lean into. According to Anders, the '90s sound was a perfect fit for the tone of the show, especially in regard to "apathy and loneliness." COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT "Sonny [Lee] had this idea in his head that he wanted it to be ’90s music. The angsty rage to that era of music definitely suited the story and added to the tone of what was happening within these characters’ worlds. There was a real sense of apathy and loneliness, a very self-aware and confessional quality to the lyrics."While the soundtrack consists primarily of '90s songs, it does include a handful from the early 2000s.
"The Hoobastank song definitely led us down a different path, because [it] was released in 2004, and Sonny really wanted to keep early-to-mid ’90s as his target. But when we saw the cut of the first episode, we all thought it fit lyrically and musically and there was a little bit of humor in it." The Team Behind Beef Along with their aforementioned roles, the series was executive produced by Lee, Yeun, and Wong. A24 Studios produced with Jake Schreier as executive producer. Additional cast includes Joseph Lee, Maria Bello, Young Manzino, Justin H. Min, Mia Serafino, Ashley Park, Patti Yasutake, and Remy Holt.
