==Early life==
Turner was born in Sheffield, England to Penny and David Turner. He is an only child〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Monkeys still shining for Turner )〕 and was raised in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield. His mother is from Amersham while his father grew up in Sheffield.〔Mojo January 2007, Poets Cornered by Pat Gilbert〕 Both parents worked at local secondary schools; his mother was a German teacher and his father taught both physics and music. He was exposed to "all sorts" of music at home,〔Q Magazine July 2007 by Keith Cameron〕 including records by Frank Sinatra, The Carpenters, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Beach Boys, David Bowie and The Eagles.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=5–10–15–20 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Drinks With: Arctic Monkeys )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Progress Report: Arctic Monkeys )〕 His father was a "jazz-head",〔 had been a member of big bands, and played the saxophone, clarinet and piano.〔 Turner took piano lessons until the age of eight.〔http://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/jul/12/arctic-monkeys-interviewed-simon-armitage〕〔
Turner was educated at Stocksbridge High School (1997–2002). His form teacher, Mark Coleman, remembers him as a well-liked student who excelled at sports, particularly basketball.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What were today's celebrities like as children? )〕 His English teacher, Steve Baker, described him as "quite reserved ... a little bit different, with a brightness and a cleverness that would serve him well." Baker noted that Turner had an "incredibly laid-back", "lackadaisical" approach to school work, which worried his mother.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Human Potential and the Arctic Monkeys. )〕 While Turner did not write poetry in school, his English teacher was "encouraging" and he was first introduced to John Cooper Clarke's poetry in Baker's class.〔〔http://www.uncut.co.uk/news/john-cooper-clarke-alex-turner-s-a-fantastic-lyricist-20026〕 Turner then spent two years at Barnsley College (2002–2004), where he studied English, psychology (for the first year), music technology and media.〔 After college, Turner's parents reluctantly agreed to let him defer university for one year to pursue his musical ambitions. During this time, he worked as a barman at the Sheffield venue The Boardwalk.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The SPIN Interview: Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner )〕 Before Arctic Monkeys signed a record deal, Turner was "half-heartedly" filling out university application forms and hoped to study in Manchester.〔
Turner and Matt Helders became friends at the age of seven;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aren't fooling around (Part 1 of 2) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interview: Matt Helders of the Arctic Monkeys )〕 they were neighbours and attended the same primary school.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC – South Yorkshire – SY People – Jill Helders: Arctic Mummy )〕 They performed Oasis's "Morning Glory" together in their final primary school assembly, using tennis rackets instead of instruments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NME News Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner: 'We used to pretend to be Oasis in school assembly' - NME.COM )〕 They met Andy Nicholson at secondary school and, for most of their teenage years, the three friends listened to rap artists such as Dr. Dre, Wu-Tang Clan, Outkast, Cypress Hill and Roots Manuva.〔 They spent their weekends "making crap hip-hop" beats using Turner's father's Cubase system.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hanging Out With Andy Nicholson: Ex-Arctic Monkey, Producer & Photographer )〕 Following the breakthrough of The Strokes,〔 Turner was drawn to guitar bands including The Hives and The White Stripes.〔 Jamie Cook, a neighbour, introduced him to Queens of the Stone Age and The Coral〔 and he first listened to The Libertines on Nick O'Malley's Walkman during a bus ride from High Green to Barnsley College.〔NME August 2006〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arctic Monkeys lead latest British invasion at All Points West Festival )〕 Turner attended his first gig in 2002, watching The Vines in Manchester. In 2003, at the age of sixteen, he travelled to London with Helders and Nicholson to watch The Strokes play at Alexandra Palace; they met Pete Doherty in the audience.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alex Turner – Why I Love The Strokes' 'Is This It' )〕
