I'd like to say my music taste has improved over the past years, but I still catch myself listening to my favorite songs from middle school. I was in middle school from 2011 to 2013, and I would listen to the top hits of the early 2010s on my iPod touch every day while I took the bus to and from school. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I think we all could use a reminder of simpler times. So, I hope you enjoy this list of 25 of my top favorite songs from when I was in middle school.
