Emo Songs You DEFINITELY Had On Your Middle/High School Playlists Pt 1
youtube


Ahh the days of almost raccoon level eyeliner and only being to see out of one eye (your hair covered the other one). Many of us went through the rebellious phase in which black was our most fashionable color and the majority of our clothing selection came from old school Hot Topic or Spencer's. Looking back on it now, we cringe internally at all the angst filled Myspace status updates and all the "Rawr xD"'s we sent to our friends and the senseless arguments we got into with our parents. On the plus side, we got some good music out of our phase. Well...mostly. Here's a quick list of some songs that probably graced your young earbuds and helped you get through the rough world that was Middle and High School.

Remedy- Seether

Bonus Points Songs: Fine Again, Careless Whisper (WHAM! Cover)

Known for their wonderful, sorrow-filled vocals and hard-hitting lyrics, Seether got many of us through a rough time. The band is still around, having released a new album recently and is currently hitting the festival scene this summer.


Sugar, We're Going Down- Fall Out Boy

Bonus Points Songs: Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race

The best band for getting over the one-month relationship you thought was the greatest thing in the world, Fall Out Boy has still successfully transitioned into the more common Pop-Rock genre of today’s Top 40 scene. However, fans will always remember their angst-filled roots, and will gladly cheer when their older tracks show up on setlists.


I Write Sins Not Tragedies- Panic! At The Disco

Bonus Points Songs: Nine In The Afternoon, Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off.

While their hit single is still massively requested, Panic! At The Disco have still had a very successful career, and still, continue to release relatively successful albums. Their latest single This Is Gospel, and album Death Of A Bachelor went platinum. They've cemented their staying power and happily continue to perform the song that got them where they are today.


Bring Me To Life- Evanescence

Bonus Points Songs: Going Under, My Immortal, Call Me When You're Sober

With Amy Lee's astounding haunting vocals, Evanescence continues to make music and tour, although it's very on and off and with many different band lineups. One thing is quite certain though: Amy can still hit every note perfectly and bring out ALL THE EMOTIONS.

Bat Country- Avenged Sevenfold

Bonus Points Songs: Beast And The Harlot, M.I.A., Almost Easy

A staple of the aggressive teenage playlist, Avenged Sevenfold suffered a heavy loss with the death of their original drummer in 2009, but the band continued to tread on. They've since found a new drummer and released several new albums, all receiving a fair amount of praise.

Pain- Three Days Grace

Bonus Points Songs: I Hate Everything About You, Riot, Never Too Late

The first song you'd pull up after an especially heated argument with your parents, Three Days Grace is still around and releasing music, although they've since found a new lead singer. Their rage-filled lyrics seemed to perfectly fit every awkward conversation or verbal scuffle you had, and they helped you normalize all that fury into words as you wrote in your journal or blog. You've since gone through and read all the writings, and quickly deleted the Myspace or MyYearbook profile they were attached to, internally shuddering as you pressed the delete key.


Mr. Brightside- The Killers

Bonus Points Songs: Somebody Told Me, When We Were Young

While this song didn't stem from any bad memories, it's one of those that you'd listen to on positive days, or on car trips when you snuck out to go get taco bell with your friends. While The Killers haven't released a studio album since 2012, they're still releasing singles, and are still together and going strong. On the plus side, this is your go-to song for karaoke, and you can hit EVERY NOTE.


Misery Business- Paramore

Bonus Points Songs: That's What You Get, The Only Exception, Emergency

Another essential band for dealing with the high strung breakups/cheating that sometimes happens in High School, Misery Business is one of the songs you flipped right to when you heard something unfortunate happened to your ex. The band is still releasing music and touring, and has taken on a more pop-rock sound over the years, but continues to play the songs that got them where they are today.


Think I missed a few essentials? Tune in next week for part 2!

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.

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.

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.
