15 Songs Of The 2000s That Should Definitely Make A Comeback
Now Music

Having just turned 20, the realization of adulthood has officially sunk in. It's only natural to look back on my childhood and remember some of my best memories. The joys of not having to pay bills or worry about the future are definitely some things to miss. Most '90s babies can attest that some of the best memories of childhood came hand-in-hand with some of the greatest music. With songs like "Ignition (Remix)" by R. Kelly in 2002 and practically anything by Avril Lavigne, it’s hard to believe the 2000s haven’t made their comeback yet.

After hours of digging through hundreds of oldies but goodies burned onto mixed CDs and consulting with the brightest music minds of the time (aka my best friends), I have compiled a list of the 15 very deserving songs ready to make their comeback debut. The '90s has already managed to revive itself with the reunion performance of the Backstreet Boys and I think it’s high time we give the 2000s their chance to shine (again).


15. "P.I.M.P." by 50 Cent, 2003

A little vulgar but definitely catchy, and if Gwen Stefani’s "Hollaback Girl" or Fergie’s "Fergalicious" has taught us anything, it’s that we love songs that spell words out.

14. "Gold Digger" by Kanye West, 2005

"Now I ain’t sayin' she a gold digger but Kim Kardashian ain’t messin' with no broke..."

13. "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter, 2005

It was a definitely a bad day when 'American Idol' announced they would be airing their 15th and final season this year.

12. "1985" by Bowling for Soup, 2004

It may be 2016 but I definitely still love 1985.

11. "Ms. Jackson" by OutKast, 2000

I wonder if Ms. Jackson ever did forgive him?

10. "I Don’t Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw, 2003

If you’ve ever watched "One Tree Hill" this song really pulls on some heartstrings, and if you haven’t watched it, you definitely should.

9. "Leave" by Jojo, 2004

The original Jojo, before "The Bachelorette." Inspiring 10-year-old little girls around the world to hate ex-boyfriends they haven’t even met yet.

8. "Don’t Cha" by The Pussy Cat Dolls 2005

If you didn’t strut down the hall and pop your tiny eight-year-old booty in the mirror while belting out this song, you’re lying.

7. "Check On It" by Beyonce, 2005

This list wouldn’t be complete without Queen Bey because even in 2005 she slayed.

6. "Hey Ya" by OutKast, 2003

Before we were twerking we shook it like a Polaroid picture.

5. "Salt Shaker" by Ying Yang Twins, 2002

If you aren’t channeling the Ying Yang Twins while on the pole at Yianni’s you’re doing it wrong. (Not that I’ve ever done this).

4. "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani, 2006

10 years later and still stimulating debate on what a Hollaback Girl really is.

3. "Stacy’s Mom" by Fountains of Wayne 2003

The sole reason why, if I ever have a daughter, I will be naming her Stacy.

2. "1, 2, Step" by Ciara ft. Missy Eliot, 2004

To this day I still know every single word.

1. "I Want Candy" by Aaron Carter, 2000

Hands down the best episode of "Lizzie McGuire."

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
