It turns out, this wholefreak show has an upside.The Mark is gone.
"I'm a freakin' tween, and you look like some One Direction reject. And we're in some freaky serial-killer basement. This is crazy."

10.12 Coda, except Cas was also deaged and in a sweatshirt.“You were a pretty cute teenager, you know.”
Cas looks over at Dean from the passenger seat and grins as best he can with his cheeks stuffed with cheeseburger. Residual adolescent appetites, they’d said to themselves, and dropped Sam off at the motel to find the nearest drive-thru. Now, with the radio on low, they’re working their way through a late night dinner in the motel parking lot.
I think he’s just fuckin’ with Sam.
I honestly don’t think he is. Look at one of Dean’s iconic lines from the Pilot episode
Dean: house rules, Sammy. Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole.
That house is the Impala which means when Dean was actually 14 it was John that picked all the music. Now look at what young!Sammy said in The Girl Next Door 7.03
Sam: It’s a cool song. My dad doesn’t listen to anything recorded after 1979, so…
Amy: Does that mean you can’t?
Sam: I’m kind of stuck in the car a lot.Teenagers make emotional connections to music more easily than adults do and sampling different music until you find what you like is an important part of teenage self-discovery. Teen Sam and Dean didn’t have much opportunity to find their own music style because they were always stuck in the car listening to what John liked. Dean idolized his father so he formed an emotional connection with his father’s music. As a teen, when he should have been discovering himself, he instead absorbed John’s personality. From Dream a Little Dream 3.10
dream!Dean: What are the things that you want? What are the things that you dream? I mean, your car? That’s Dad’s. Your favorite leather jacket? Dad’s. Your music? Dad’s. Do you even have an original thought?
In this episode we saw teen!Dean experience something that he never got to do as a teenager, he heard a random song on the radio in a style different from what his parent liked and he formed an emotional connection to it. When Dean was really a teenager I’m sure he encountered some pop songs but he was also concerned about being the perfect son and wouldn’t have let himself like something that John would disapprove of. The past few episodes Dean’s been on a journey of self-discovery, re-thinking how he lives his life and trying new things. Last episode he tried a healthy diet, he hated it but he still gave it a good try. This episode he gave a pop song a chance and decided he really liked it. I don’t think this will usher in a new era of Dean listening to lots of pop music because he genuinely does like his rock ‘n roll, but I think he’s realized that he can love rock ‘n roll and still enjoy the occasional pop song, that his choices don’t have to be as black and white as he was raised to believe
That speaks to this season’s theme of duality, that things don’t have to be all good or all bad. Right now Dean isn’t all good, he has an evil mark influencing him, but that doesn’t mean he’s bad. Dean is struggling to accept that, he keeps viewing himself as an evil thing because part of him is evil. Dean’s journey this season is broadening how he defines himself. Dean always defined himself as someone who only listens to classic rock but now he’s broadened that definition to someone who mostly listens to classic rock but can enjoy a bit of pop music. Hopefully, by the end of the season, he’ll stop defining himself as good or bad and start viewing himself as a mostly good person who has a bit of bad in him
i can not be convinced otherwise that dean has not at least gone and bought the new t swift album and proudly plays it during situations that it absolutely should not be played if not to be like “it’s just so dang good, sammy!”
There comes a time in every man’s life when he starts experiencing some changes. Now, the boys at Winchester & Winchester present a handy How to guide to help you get through this time.
can we talk about how the music video for “Shake It Off” is full of ballet and beautiful human awkwardness and it perfectly illustrates everything Dean tries to hide
