There are two types of people in this world: those who went through an emo phase and those who are lying. As for some of us, that phase never really fully left, at least not when it comes to the music. Let's face it, emo and punk rock music had some serious jams, and I know damn well that every true emo kid knows these top 20 songs:
1. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! At The Disco
Forever my favorite pump-up jam, I don't care what you say.
2. "Situations" - Escape The Fate
3. "The Black Parade" - My Chemical Romance
The emo kid national anthem.
4. "Face Down" - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Arguably, their second best song behind "Your Guardian Angel."
5. "Ohio Is For Lovers" - Hawthorne Heights
6. "The Curse Of Curves" - Cute Is What We Aim For
"AND THIS JUST IN / YOU'RE A DEAD FIT / BUT MY WIT / WON'T ALLOW IT!!!!!!!!"
7. "MakeDamnSure" - Taking Back Sunday
8. "Check Yes, Juliet" - We The Kings
Still better than the original "Romeo And Juliet." Sorry, Shakespeare.
9. "Misery Business" - Paramore
10. "With Me" - Sum 41
Never forget that they had this song in "Gossip Girl" when Chuck and Blair did the do.
11. "Miserable At Best" - Mayday Parade
Flash forward to me at 18, finally seeing them in person and sobbing like the sucker that I am when this song played.
12. "Scars" - Papa Roach
13. "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows" - Brand New
14. "All Over You" - The Spill Canvas
15. "I Miss You" - Blink 182
Dare you not to sing along.
16. "Don't Trust Me" - 3OH!3
Wait, what do I tell my boyfriend if he says he's got beef?
17. "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" - Fall Out Boy
18. "Transatlanticism" - Death Cab For Cutie
19. "Tears Don't Fall" - Bullet For My Valentine
20. "Mr. Brightside" - The Killers
I will never not scream along to this. This song is my PRIME.
