Every current college student had a punk-rock or "alt" phase. If you say you didn't, you're probably lying. Music was the main reason you were sooooo not pop like all your other friends, who were so into the new T Swift and Katy Perry, you were different. Here are 15 songs that bring that circa 2010, alternative you out of hiding.
1. Thnks Fr Th Mmrs - Fall Out Boy
You were 13 and in 8th grade, but man when this song came on at 7:30 on Friday night at your monthly middle school socials, you screamed this like somebody hurt you.
2. All The Small Things - Blink 182
Tbh all your friends thought they were annoying, but you LOVED them.
3. I Write Sins Not Tragedies - Panic! At The Disco
Your mother cringed at you screaming the words "whore" and "goddamn" in the car. But you were an otherwise perfect, albeit slightly strange child, so she let it go.
4. Dear Maria, Count Me In - All Time Low
You weren't sure who Maria was, but you wanted to run away with her too.
5. Perfect - Simple Plan
Seriously, you were 13. WHO HURT YOU.
6. Don't Trust Me - 3OH!3
Another one mom wasn't overly fond of, but this one she'd actually yell at you for singing.
7. Poppin' Champagne - All Time Low
You actually weren't sure what this song was about, but you felt cool saying champagne.
8. Gives You Hell - All American Rejects
Again, with these alleged people who were hurting you.
9. MakeDamnSure - Taking Back Sunday
This one was a little more rock than most, but you loved screaming it.
10. I Don't Wanna Be In Love - Good Charlotte
Yes, you were SO in love with that boy in your grade, so you sang this song and thought of him.
11. Check Yes Juliet - We The Kings
This Romeo and Juliet story was vastly different from the one you were talking about in English Class.
12. Welcome to The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
Your dad probably never even tried to take you to see a marching band, but this song spoke to you.
13. All I Want - A Day to Remember
Juuuuust emo enough that you weren't labeled as emo, but it was pretty emo.
14. Anything Paramore
Hayley Williams always screamed so you could get all of your angsty teen worries out with their music.
15. Only One - Yellowcard
This one was the peak of your broken heart angst.
