21 Songs You Will Know If You Were "Misunderstood" In The Early 2000s
Maelle Ramsay

It's all of the songs we grew up listening to. You could bang your head and you felt like the world understood you for a brief moment.

1. The Middle: Jimmy Eat World

If you couldn't play this song on expert mode in Guitar Hero, you probably considered yourself a failure.

2. Stacy's Mom: Fountains of Wayne

Your younger self was probably thinking who the hell is Stacy's Mom and why are we so obsessed with her? I dunno, we just kept jammin'.

3. What's My Age Again: blink-182

Blink 182 made YOLO a thing before it was even a thing.

4. Ocean Avenue: Yellowcard

And you already know that violin solo was a head banger.

5. 1985: Bowling for Soup

This song convinced me I was born in the wrong decade.

6. Sugar, We're Going Down: Fall Out Boy

Even though you couldn't understand a word of the chorus, you pretended and then became even more confused when you looked up the lyrics. What's a "loaded god complex," anyway?

7. Welcome to the Black Parade: My Chemical Romance

MCR scared the crap out of you, but you willingly joined the dark side.

8. I Write Sins Not Tragedies: Panic! At the Disco

Another song you failed to interpret the meaning of on the first listen. Eventually, you memorized it and your favourite lines were probably, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?" and "What a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore."

9. Dirty Little Secret: The All-American Rejects

The song you always wanted to be about you.

10. Dear Maria, Count Me In: All Time Low

All Time Low just had a way of speaking to you and their long died hair made you feel some type of way.

11. All the Small Things: blink-182

Essentially in every movie, you loved watching. blink-182 was just your go to cute bad boy band.

12. Check Yes, Juliet: We the Kings

The song your parents got tired of hearing but it made you feel like somebody understood you in a world where you were just misunderstood.

13. I'm Just a Kid: Simple Plan

The title says it all. You felt like the world was against you and all of the words in this song were everything you were feeling.

14. Move Along: The All-American Rejects

The best post-breakup song you could have asked for.

15. My Friends Over You: New Found Glory

NFG said it first, friends before anything!

16. Welcome to My Life: Simple Plan

Another great example of feeling like there was only one group who understood you like no other.

17. Misery Business: Paramore

Really, if we are being honest, anything Paramore made you draw on the eyeliner thicker and bang your head.

18. Beverly Hills: Weezer

You just wanted to move to Beverly Hills after this one.

19. First Date: blink-182

Subsequently, you listened to this one before going on your first date to help get rid of those jitters.

20. Jamie All Over: Mayday Parade

With their wonderful soft ballads to their emotional songs, you knew Mayday Parade was a group you would never forget.

21. In Too Deep: Sum 41

This song was just one that reminded you to try and stay afloat and rock out at the same time.

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.

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.
