The Runaways 

An american, hot-ass, all-girl rock'n'roll band lasting from 1975 - 1979.

The most famus line-up was 16-year old Joan Jett (electric guitarist), 15-year old Cherie Currie (singer), 17-year old Lita Ford (lead guitarist), 16-year old Sandy West (drummer) and 16-year old Jackie Fox (bassist).

Micki Steele, Laurie McAllister, Peggy Foster and Vicki Blue have also been bassists for the band.

Although in late 1977, Cherie Currie left the band and instead Joan Jett became the singer.

The band was formed in 1975 by Sandy West, Joan Jett and producer Kim Fowley, and as the other girls joined they soon released their debut album.

The Runaways released 5 records and one live album: The Runaways, Queens of Noise, Waitin' For The Night, And Now... The Runaways, Flaming Schoolgirls and Live in Japan.

The Runaways were never really big in the US but huge in Japan. Their most famous songs are Cherry Bomb, Queens of Noise, Neon Angels (On the Road to Ruin), Rock n Roll and Born to be Bad.

The Runaways is also a movie about the band, but mostly about Joan and Cherie. The movie is directed by Floria Sigismondi, Kristen Stewart plays Joan and Dakota Fanning Cherie. Overall the movie has gotten very good reviews.
My favorites by The Runaways are Dead End Justice, You Drive Me Wild and I Wanna Be Where The Boys are!

Suburban Runaway

Surburban Runaways will only congregate in certain neighborhoods of the city (ones typically deemed "dangerous" by their suburban parents), with a specific safety-zone of stores and bars.

If/When they do return to their hometown, they always make a fuss and never refer to it's namesake:

"Ugh, I have to drive out to the suburbs this weekend for a birthday party. Don't know what time I'll make it back, traffic coming back from the suburbs is always a gamble."
"Craig and Ruben got an apartment in Humboldt Park!?"

"Yep, they moved out of Tinley a few years ago; they had a spot in Pilsen, they just moved again."

"Wow, never figured them for suburban runaways...I guess it is the hip thing these days."

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
