Pop punk was in its prime in the early 2000s — so many angsty teenagers full of emotions, and so many songs to express that angst. There's no denying that some of those songs were pure gold. So we've made a list of the best songs to come out of our emo pop punk early 2000s stage.

1. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! At the Disco

Arguably everyone's jam, the bop that brought Panic! to fame, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" is the throwback song everyone loves.

2. "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers

This one is my next personal favorite, because I can't help but belt the lyrics every time it comes on. I've even heard remixes of this song at clubs, so you know it was a good one.

3. "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World

It doesn't much to get into this jam. When you listen to it, you know everything, everything will be just fine.

4. "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance

Would it really be a ranking of angsty teen songs without My Chemical Romance? This is arguably one of the OG My Chemical Romance songs that we all still sing along to.

5. "Stacy's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne

Because Stacy's mom has always had it goin' on.

6. "Dirty Little Secret" by All American Rejects

While All American Rejects had a bunch of hit songs in the early 2000s, this was the best of them all.

7. "crushcrushcrush" by Paramore

This was the best to play on Rock Band with all of my other angsty friends at sleepovers.

8. "American Idiot" by Green Day

The song that inspired a musical, American Idiot was a song with a story that we all sang along.

9. "Sugar We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy

Arguably one of those songs that made Fall Out Boy famous, "Sugar We're Going Down" is a jam we can all still get down to.

10. "Dear Maria, Count Me In" by All Time Low

Need I say more?

11. "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence

This song really does bring you back to life. It's inspired so many memes and vines, that you can't really forget about it.

12. "1985" by Bowling for Soup

We'll always be preoccupied with "1985."

13. "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard

We would stay up all night listening to these songs.

14. "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne

The best love song of the early 2000s. It was tragic yet the best burn song out there.

15. "All the Small Things" by blink-182

This is the song that carried me through middle school, and made us all want to see them live.

16. "Perfect" by Simple Plan

We all thought we related to this song when we were kids and our parents didn't understand us.

17. "My Friends Over You" by New Found Glory

"My Friends Over You" related to every broken relationship in middle school, because we all knew that we would pick our friends over any beau we had.

18. "Face Down" by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Another great bop to finish off this list, when push came to shove we would put this on.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
