Beef soundtrack: Full list of songs in Netflix series
From The Smashing Pumpkins to Hoobastank.
New Netflix series Beef landed on the streaming platform earlier in April and is already proving a hit thanks to its stellar cast, impressive writing and epic soundtrack.
Starring stand-up comedian Ali Wong and Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead), Beef is a tale of road rage that soon snowballs into so much more.
The characters' simmering rage is mirrored by the show's soundtrack, which mainly consists of songs from the '90s or early 2000s.
Speaking about the music choices, Beef creator Lee Sung Jin said: "Originally, I thought I was going to do deep '90s grunge cuts – Dinosaur Jr and bands like that.
"But what sprang about as we were discovering the show was that it might be more fun to do these songs from our past that weren't necessarily the coolest... songs that rode a fine line between art and commerce, but are still really, really great, like Hoobastank's The Reason."
He continued: "The song wasn't necessarily on critics' top 10 lists at the time, but hearing it now, it really holds up. It's a great track. There's also the nostalgic element.
"Part of me feels that because these characters are stuck in their ways and are clinging to things in the past and can't seem to move forward, it felt appropriate to use these older songs that we haven't heard in a while."
