Anthony Fantano a well known music critic jokingly tweeted that Teenage Heartbreak was album of the year without even listening to it. This tweeted gained negative feedback with people criticizing Fantano for joke they thought was real. A few days later, fantano would actually review the album stating the albums writing was cringy and it sucked.
