Middle school was a time of self-discovery, self-loathing, and a lot of confusion. Whether you were having fun in middle school with your friends or just begging for it to be over, your music playlist was what got you through the day.
Depending on who you were and who you hung out with, your choice in music varied. My playlist was a mix of things depending on my mood or the vibe I wanted to give off (I swore I was so cool).
