This is for the girls and boys that truly believed they were tortured inside and enjoyed slamming their bedroom doors way too much. The confused middle school student that wore vans and converse that had scribbles of music lyrics all over them. Your eye roll was mastered and your parent’s “just didn’t understand.” For all those that blared music behind closed doors, this is to all you early 2000s punk stars.
We all had the phase, it was in our blood as awkward middle school students that were just realizing girls and boys could be more than just friends and our parents were officially lame. We were 13 going on 23 and praised the punk gods that were the only people that seemed to get it. Green Day, Simple Plan and Good Charlotte filled our CD cases and girls’ knees went weak at the sight of their “guyliner.” From “Ocean Avenue” to “All The Small Things,” here is a short list of all the songs you miss most from the early 2000s, tormented, punk era.
