16 Songs For The Angsty Teen Trapped In Every Millennial
Sierra Ardanche

When I was a teenager, life was confusing, scary and nothing seemed to make sense. That's why I would always turn to music. In this list, these are songs I remember listening to in my angst-ridden phases. Listen and get ready for the nostalgia kick.

1. Just So You Know - Jesse McCartney


This song was one of my biggest anthems when I was a kid. I remember using lyrics in this song as Facebook statuses and watching the music video countless times. Jesse McCartney knew how to portray teen angst.

2. Leave (Get Out) - Jojo


Jojo will be featured more than once on this list just because she was the queen of singing her soul out about the boys who didn't treat her right. I remember listening to this on Radio Disney and turning up the volume and belting to this song even though I was twelve and had zero relationship experience.

3. Big Girls Don't Cry - Fergie


This was definitely an autoplay song on my Myspace page for a LONG time. I felt like this song really described my teen angst to a T. I definitely used some of these lyrics in a status or two.

4. Complicated - Avril Lavigne


Avril Lavigne was the QUEEN of teen angst. This song isn't even the tip of her repertoire of songs about relationships and broken family ties. She inspired my eyeliner looks and my dreams of having perfectly straight hair.

5. Teardrops On My Guitar - Taylor Swift

Of course, I had to add Taylor to this list. This song was probably dedicated to one of my many crushes who I never had the courage to talk to. I remember crying to the lyrics, "He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar, the only one who's got enough of me to break my heart" even when my crush probably had no idea I even existed.

Thank you, Taylor, for all of the lyrics I used to write in my journals and on my social media.

6. She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5


Okay, this music video is WEIRD. But this song is one I would listen to non-stop. This song is still one that I will absolutely belt to no matter what the condition is.

7. I Miss You - Blink-182


Ah, the song that started my love for Blink-182. I remember listening to this on my iPod and staring out of the window in my most organic melancholic state.

8. Your Guardian Angel - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus


Oh my gosh, this was the love ballad when I was in middle school. I remember posting lyrics to this song everywhere. I even wanted it played at my wedding someday. This song is still super sweet.

9. It Ends Tonight - The All-American Rejects


Give me a sad boy with a piano and I am a puddle of mush. This song also made me fall in love with fireworks.

10. Hey There Delilah - Plain White T's


I remember my first-ever relationship. This song was one we would send back and forth to each other because we went to different schools. Young love at its finest, folks.

11. Who Knew - P!nk


I remember crying to this song after my grandpa passed away when I was in middle school. I didn't know him super well, but hearing this song made me feel like we had a better relationship.

12. Too Little Too Late - Jojo


Jojo is appearing once again. This song made me hate boys for the longest time. I thought they were all cheating scumbags and everything that Jojo said made sense. I still belt to this song once and awhile.

13. Mr. Brightside - The Killers

This song is the best ever. I think every word is somehow tattooed in my soul. Whenever this song plays on the radio, I have a wave of nostalgia hit. This song makes me want to put on a gallon of eyeliner and wear my worn out converses.

14. I Write Sins Not Tragedies - Panic! At The Disco


Because songs with extremely catchy lyrics and interesting music videos never grow old, right?

15. Sugar, We're Going Down - Fall Out Boy


Yes, give me this song at any time, any day and I will scream every word. I love the angst in this song.

16. Welcome To The Black Parade - Mayday Parade


And of course, this list wouldn't be complete without the anthem that brings all angst-filled kids together. This song is beautiful and emotional all at the same time.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
