Teen Week is the debut extended play (EP) by the American musician Jane Remover. It was self-released under their former name Dltzk on February 26, 2021, before they changed their stage name in 2022. Remover wrote songs for the EP while in school and at home and produced the EP while they were applying to colleges. Teen Week is a digicore and progressive pop EP inspired by the electronica and electronic dance music of the musician Porter Robinson; some tracks feature 16-bit or 8-bit music and the Amen break. Its lyricism pertains to personal growth struggles, as well as themes of adolescence. After voicing their frustrations with the EP, Remover released an abridged version in 2022.
Teen Week was preceded by two singles—"Woodside Gardens 16 December 2012" and "52 Blue Mondays"—in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The EP received critical praise upon release, with laut.de ranking it among the best EPs of the year and Pitchfork considering it one of the best progressive pop albums of the year. The EP has later been recognized as a milestone in digicore by audiences and a pioneering release in the genre by publications. The Line of Best Fit deemed it one of the best hyperpop releases of all time, while Paste deemed it one of the greatest EPs of all time.
