We all try to avoid talking about that awful emo phase we went through in 7th grade. Some of us had the pleasure of skipping it completely, others weren't so lucky. From dying our hair random colors, to spending all of our money at Hot Topic and more eyeliner we would like to admit, we went through the worst phase of our lives. We pined over Gerard Way, and Andy Sixx, going as far in our obsession to make them part of our usernames (cough XxMrsGerardWayxX totally wasn’t one of mine cough). We had every poster, read every magazine, begged to go to all the concerts we could (especially when our older sisters refused to go with us), and made the best playlists on our iPods that contained all of the heartbreak and feelings our little hearts could possibly contain in 7th grade. Here's a playlist of 12 songs so you can relive 7th grade on your own, in the comfort of your room!
1. My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay (I Promise)
You cannot tell me you didn't basically scream this song in your room, especially after they broke up (still too fresh a wound?)
2. Fall Out Boy - Thnks Fr Th Mmrs
Getting into a fight with your friends over who got to marry Pete? Perfect song to kick them to the curb, because no one was stealing Pete (or hidden gem Patrick) from xMrsWentzzXx, no way.
3. Panic! At The Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies
Let's face it, everyone screamed whore when the censored version played on the radio.
4. Jimmy Eat World - The Middle
Remember not feeling good enough, like ever? And then hearing this song and feeling a million times better?
5. Avril Lavigne - Sk8r Boi
I think it's safe to say every single girl sang this at least once while they thought about a boy that didn't like them back.
6. Paramore - Ignorance
yle
We all got angry at some point and listened to this song on repeat for a couple of days, right? We all wanted Hayley's hair (and some of us still might).
7. Evanescence - Bring Me To Life
How many times did this song come on when you were feeling down? How many of those times did you scream it at the top of your lungs? Every time? That's what I thought.
8. Simple Plan - Welcome To My Life
"No one understands me! It's not just a phase mom!"
9. Green Day - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
Perfect song to walk home in the rain with (or sing in the shower), you know, when you walk alone.
10. Blink 182 - I Miss You
Pretty sure we all were obsessed with the line "We could live like Jack and Sally", because we were all little Tim Burton obsessed freaks.
11. Taking Back Sunday - Cute Without The E
When you had too many emotions to process, and turned to music to help you feel better, this was always one of the ones you played first.
12. Thirty Seconds To Mars - The Kill
Always a staple of many playlists, full of all the anger, hate, and preteen angst we felt towards our parents who insisted we were just going through a super awkward phase. And let's face it, maybe we're still in the phase, just a little more mature.
