If there is one band that has always truly, albeit in a strange manner, captured the essence of all that is 'teen angst', it's Blink 182. They broke up a few years ago, although in all probability they've reunited and are coming out with a new album soon.
Sweet.
You know the feeling you get when you've had a not-so-awesome day, the feeling of certainty that no one can understand what you're going through. Believe me, there's a Blink song to fit your situation, there always is!
And it's not just sucky feeling songs either, sometimes when you're just sooo rushed, so unbelievably filled with positivity, Blink knows exactly what you're feeling.
I've only been really listening to their music for the last three or so years, but my god has it been an experience. I just got out of my bed, half asleep, because I've had my ear-phones in for the last two hours, going through their discography. And I finally realized what my new blog post should be.
STAY TOGETHER FOR THE KIDS
FEELING THIS
GOING AWAY TO COLLEGE
WHAT'S MY AGE AGAIN?
ADAM'S SONG
ALL THE SMALL THINGS
OBVIOUS
I MISS YOU
DOWN
THE FALLEN INTERLUDE
ALWAYS
ALL OF THIS
I'M LOST WITHOUT YOU
STORY OF A LONELY GUY
THE ROCK SHOW
EVERYTIME I LOOK FOR YOU
GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON
SHUT UP
PLEASE TAKE ME HOME
DON'T TELL ME IT'S OVER
WHAT WENT WRONG
There are songs on that list you'll love, I'm sure there are some you'll hate, but that's just your opinion right now. Because see, you'll probably listen to one later, and maybe you'll relate to it, once you get past the loud punk blather and unrelenting bass that is Blink 182.
