During his sophomore year of high school, in November 1998, he and several friends from elementary school formed a punk rock band called Outline. They released a self-titled EP through Lifetime Records, a friend's record label, in January 2000. Antonoff initially sang in the group until early 2000 when Eddie Wright took over on vocals.{{cite web |url=http://www.triplecrownrecords.com:80/outline/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010727131639/http://www.triplecrownrecords.com/outline/index.html|title=Outline|publisher=Triple Crown Records |archive-date=July 27, 2001 |access-date=February 9, 2018|url-status=dead}} With the addition of Wright, they recorded six songs which were later released as 6 Song Demo in the summer.{{cite web |url=http://www.outlinemusic.com:80/purple/discography.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011211204323/http://www.outlinemusic.com/purple/discography.html|title=Discography|publisher=Outline|archive-date=December 11, 2001 |access-date=February 9, 2018|url-status=dead}} They released an album, A Boy Can Dream, in July 2001 through Triple Crown Records.{{cite web |url=http://www.outlinemusic.com:80/purple/history.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011211213732/http://www.outlinemusic.com/purple/history.html|title=History|publisher=Outline|archive-date=December 11, 2001 |access-date=February 9, 2018|url-status=dead}} When they were 15, Antonoff and his Outline bandmate used a DIY guide to book shows in numerous states, including Florida and Texas, and borrowed Antonoff's parents' minivan to travel in. During the tour, Outline played in venues such as anarchist bookstores, while the oldest member of the band drove because he was 18 years old. Antonoff explained in 2014: "Half the time no one would show up or the equipment would be too fucked up to play... but that's when I fell in love with touring." The band lasted until 2002.

In 2002, Antonoff and friend Scott Irby-Ranniar formed the band Steel Train.

The band then convinced two of their friends from the band Random Task, Evan Winiker and Matthew Goldman, to drop out of college to join the new band. Steel Train secured a recording deal with Drive-Thru Records. The group was popular on the jamband festival circuit and Antonoff has said he has applied that grassroots mentality to his future projects.{{cite web |last=Antonoff |first=Jack |url=https://relix.com/articles/detail/jack_antonoffs_bonnaroo_state_of_mind/ |title=Jack Antonoff's Bonnaroo State of Mind |website=Relix |date=May 6, 2014 |access-date=August 31, 2021 |archive-date=October 24, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211024054929/https://relix.com/articles/detail/jack_antonoffs_bonnaroo_state_of_mind/ |url-status=live }}

Antonoff announced a solo project called Bleachers in February 2014.{{cite magazine|author1=Jon Blistein|title=Fun's Jack Antonoff Talks 'Over-the-Top' Solo Project Bleachers|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/fun-s-jack-antonoff-talks-solo-project-bleachers-20140219|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=January 11, 2015|date=February 19, 2014|archive-date=September 21, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170921193909/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/fun-s-jack-antonoff-talks-solo-project-bleachers-20140219|url-status=dead}} Antonoff stated in June 2014 that the project had been a consideration for around 10 years, and the name was inspired by the "disconnected, darker side" of suburban youth and John Hughes movies, which were "tied to a time when big songs were great songs." The songs for the debut Bleachers album were mostly written on Antonoff's laptop computer in hotel rooms during a Fun. world tour.

The Huffington Post published a positive review of Bleachers' first single, "I Wanna Get Better"—released on February 18—calling it the "catchiest song of 2014,"{{cite web |url=https://twitter.com/HuffPostEnt/status/436027402008158208 |title=Twitter / HuffPostEnt: Jack Antonoff has released |website=Twitter.com |date=February 18, 2014 |access-date=March 7, 2014 |archive-date=April 21, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160421025801/https://twitter.com/huffpostent/status/436027402008158208 |url-status=live }} while Time proclaimed, "[Bleachers] is more fun than Fun."{{cite news |last=Cox |first=Jamieson |url=https://entertainment.time.com/2014/02/18/bleachers-i-wanna-get-better-jack-antonoff-fun/ |title=Bleachers "I Wanna Get Better": Jack Antonoff's New Band's Debut Track |magazine=TIME |date=February 18, 2014 |access-date=March 7, 2014 |archive-date=March 4, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140304115215/http://entertainment.time.com/2014/02/18/bleachers-i-wanna-get-better-jack-antonoff-fun/ |url-status=live }} Antonoff revealed the intent behind the debut single in a Rolling Stone interview:

{{blockquote|I wanted to bridge the gap between Disclosure and Arcade Fire—something both streamlined and organic... The production and songwriting is extremely over-the-top, extremely epic and unapologetic. The record is all about finding a world where you can be kind to yourself in.}}

Antonoff told Rolling Stone that while the song may sound joyous, "it's very desperate" and, like many of the other songs on the album is about loss. Antonoff worked with producers John Hill and Vince Clarke on the Bleachers studio album, as he sought to create "massive, beautiful pop songs that sound __ cool." The completed album, Strange Desire, was released in July 2014, and "I Wanna Get Better" peaked at number one on the U.S. Alternative charts during the same week. In regard to Strange Desire, Antonoff said:

{{blockquote|It doesn't have to be one or the other... You don't have to [make] big pop songs that sound stupid and you don't have to make these fuckin' apologetic, tired droney songs that sound incredible. I really wanted both things to happen.}}

"I Wanna Get Better" was eventually named number 18 in Rolling Stone{{'}}s 50 Best Songs of 2014, with the publication describing the song as "therapy rock" that is "as fun as it is cathartic".{{cite magazine|title=50 Best Songs of 2014|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/50-best-songs-of-2014-20141203/bleachers-i-wanna-get-better-20141202|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=February 6, 2015|date=December 3, 2014|archive-date=September 17, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170917171520/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/50-best-songs-of-2014-20141203/bleachers-i-wanna-get-better-20141202|url-status=dead}} Antonoff released Bleachers' second album Gone Now on June 2, 2017.

Antonoff has spoken publicly about his struggles with depression, anxiety and obsessive–compulsive disorder. He claims that hearing of others' battles with depression made him feel "not better, but not alone" and "way less scared".{{cite web|first=Emily Tess|last=Katz|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jack-antonoff-depression_n_7614786|title=Jack Antonoff Opens Up About Depression: 'It's Manageable If You Know You're Not Alone'|website=HuffPost|date=June 18, 2015|access-date=May 16, 2019|archive-date=April 19, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240419045207/https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jack-antonoff-depression_n_7614786|url-status=live}} In June 2014, Antonoff said in an interview that he was seeing both a therapist and a psychopharmacologist, while also taking anti-anxiety medications. He has germophobia which was exacerbated by a bout of pneumonia that he suffered in 2011 while recording a studio album for his band Fun. His pulmonologist prescribed a daily run, but he explained that he hates it "more than anything" because it is "one of the most truly boring experiences on Earth."

Music is central to Antonoff's life; he explained in June 2014:

{{blockquote|I need a hobby, and I don't want it to be basketball ... I want it to be music. So to get away from music, I do other music. If I'm producing someone's song or writing with someone else, then doing a Bleachers song or a Fun song is an escape and it keeps me creative and it keeps me locked into what I want to do. If something's making me crazy, I need to go somewhere else and I don't want that thing to be yoga.}}
