Most of us know that pop punk was and is a way of life. We all had or still have scene hair and band shirts with black skinny jeans. While we all studied bands and their entire song libraries, some songs got overlooked. I've got a list of ten that one could say were a bit underrated.

1.) Stella - All Time Low

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm falling in love alone
Stella, would you take me home?

This song is commonly misconstrued as a song about a female named Stella. In reality this song is about being drunk. This song has a beat like no other, it has you instantly hooked. You can't help but fall in love with its vibe. They even have a segment in the song in which it sounds like a live crowd singing the chorus. This song explains drunk thoughts and feelings!

2.) Champagne for My Real Friends, Real Pain for My Sham Friends - Fall Out Boy

Strike us like matches, cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone is trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame

This song is about having fun with your friends. This song also has a hint of sarcasm in the mix. Fall Out Boy is a band who has songs that can and will make you happy. The instrumentals of this song alone is worth the listen. Not the most popular song off From Under The Cork Tree, but far my favorite. I can't help but be a bit biased. ;)

3.) The Futile - Say Anything

I'm eating rat poison for dinner!
Pull the cord from the phone, I am dining alone
Tonight! Rat poison for dinner, pull the cord from the phone,
I am dining alone, so goodnight!

The definition of futile is incapable of producing any useful result; pointless. This song is basically just a big FU to those who have it all together. You know we all have those self deprecating memes that we just love. This song is just a big ball of sarcasm that I appreciate more and more as and adult.

4.) I Put the Metro in Metronome - Cute is What We Aim For

Style doesn't matter when you're on your back
Just remember that fact, just remember that
Style doesn't matter when you're on your back
Your clothes don't fit this season
You're cold and that's the reason

This song is a feel good jam. Cute is What We aim For has a knack for making you feel happy. This is just an uplifting song about how all girls are great. It doesn't matter if you are from a better part of town, all girls are good!

5.) Dakota - A Rocket To The Moon

It's the way you do, the things you do

That make me fall in love with you
Dakota, are you in love with me too?

THIS SONG! Its super sweet. Its a cute little ditty that has so much emotion. The lyrics are heart felt and mesmerizing. A Rocket To The Moon still makes my emo heart swoon.

6.) You're So Last Summer - Taking Back Sunday

Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions,
This'll be last chance you get to drop my name

I know you're thinking, "Juanita this song isn't really that underrated." I see your frustration, but this song about a girl knocking a guy down a couple notches deserves a bit more credit. This gem is hidden by Make Damn Sure and Cute Without the e. TBS is a wonderful band with so much to offer.

7.) Inside of You - The Maine

Noooo, whoahhhh
I'm never gonna be inside of you
And I said,
Noooo, whoahhhh
I'm never gonna see inside of you

This song is so pretty. The Maine always gets deep. This song is about someone who is refusing to let people in. It shows the feelings of someone who is afraid to open up to anyone.

8.) Oh Well, Oh Well - Mayday Parade

Oh well, oh well. I still hope for the best.
Say goodbye and send me off with a kiss farewell.
And I promise I'll be just as strong as I can be.
Maybe you could get some sleep tonight.

This song. This song right here is one hell of break up jam. It starts out so sweet and innocent then jumps to a story of deceit. This song will give you some power back. Just so empowering.

9.) lg fuad - Motion City Soundtrack

Let me in, let me in to the club, 'cause I wanna belong,
And I need to get strong, and if memory serves,
I'm addicted to words and they're useless.

This is a great fuck it song. His use of words in this song are absolutely wonderful. Not only does it hit you with realness, it also makes you smile. The answer to saying fuck it, is usually alcohol.

10.) I'm Already Gone - A Day to Remember

And I'm, I'm already gone
I'm already something to someone that I don't know.
When will I know?

I honestly can't say enough about this song. This is a song for the lost. A song for the confused. Not to mention that the harmonies in this song is literally breath taking. This song is lyrically and musically beautiful. Just heart melting.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
