15 Songs From The Emo MySpace Days
The Daily Dot

Growing up MySpace was life. Every day the young, angsty teens couldn't wait to leave school and hit the desktop for a few hours to post online. You couldn't wait to arrange your top eight and post a bulletin on why your day was a drag. Everyone would leave comments on each other's pages all blinged out. Back then we were carefree and nothing could change that. We boasted and bragged about page layouts and competing to see who would have the best about me section, but the most important feature was your profile song. You would spend hours finding the right song to force everyone who visited your profile to listen to. I chose 15 songs from the MySpace era that more than likely will bring a tear to your eye.


1. "Ohio Is for Lovers" - Hawthorne Heights


MySpace was one of the birth places for the "emo" culture. With lyrics like "so cut my wrist and black my eyes," it was bound to be a profile song. Your parents totally thought your music was a cry for help, but honestly it was just a form of expression.


2. "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" - Fall Out Boy


Although most of us didn't know a majority of the words, we would belt out the ones we did to the top of our lungs. "From Under the Cork Tree" is still hands down my favorite album by the band.


3. "Note to Self" - From First to Last


Before Skrillex, we had Sonny Moore singing his heart out with this post-hardcore band. Everyone knows someone who was obsessed with this song.


4. "Bird and the Worm" - The Used


If you were a part of the emo culture, you obviously know the Used. Many teens cranked them up and idolized them. Their constant contact with MCR made them even better. Forever shipping Gerard and Bert.


5. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" - Green Day


Not gonna lie, this band was my obsession. I own every album and have all kinds of merch. The album American Idiot was super popular during the MySpace days.


6. "Everything Is Alright" - Motion City Soundtrack


This song soothes my emo soul. It's bubbly and energetic and totally someone's old profile song. This song on someone's profile screams "take me to Warped Tour."


7. "I Write Sins Not Tradgedies" - Panic! At The Disco


This song is a classic. Everyone wanted to listen to this song because it had a bad word in it. In all honesty the song has a pretty good sentiment behind it.


8. "Face Down" - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus


You felt so deep jamming to this song. This song made you vow that no one that really loves you could hurt you. This, this right here, is a song to be taken seriously.


9. "This Photograph Is Proof" - Taking Back Sunday


While TBS has multiple songs that hit the feels, this one killed it on Fuse. Most definitely a song found in a MySpace profile.


10. "Situations" - Escape the Fate


If you listened to these guys you felt hardcore. They spoke to your emotions. Ronnie is also hot, which helps.


11. "Don't Trust Me" - 3Oh!3


This song, while catchy, is also hilarious. Everyone wanted to hear this song because it mentioned Helen Keller and her gyrating hips.


12. "Misery Business" - Paramore


I don't think I know a single young person who doesn't enjoy Paramore. She has an amazing voice paired with beautiful lyrics.


13. "Pretty Girl" - Sugarcult


This band really deserves more recognition than they get. So many of their songs got a lot of us through rough patches. Not to mention they have some so gs you can't help but get up and mosh to them.


14. "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" - My Chemical Romance


These guys were most of our lives. My inner emo kid is screaming for joy. The music produced by these musical geniuses will live forever in my soul. They also happened to be my first profile layout. Ahh, the good old days.


15. "Plastic Surgery Slumber Party" - Jeffree Star


Just hear me out. You know deep down you have a slight obsession with the MySpace days Jeffree Star. His unique photos and fashion sense just captivate you. He is a beautiful human, and his make-up is that of a model. You know you listened to this song at least once.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
