An Ode To Pop Punk Bands

"Punk's not dead, it just went pop."

An Ode To Pop Punk Bands

The new Blink 182 album and tour with A Day To Remember and All Time Low has everyone feeling nostalgic. I'm sure we all remember when we first started listening to Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco, and when "Dammed If I Do Ya, Dammed If I Don't" was everyone's favorite song. I would personally like to thank pop punk bands for making great music always, being my boyfriend and I's mutual music taste, and always giving me something to look forward to when I plug in my earphones.


To Panic! At The Disco,

Thank you for making a fantastic new album, "Death Of A Bachelor," but still giving me the opportunity to jam to "I Write Sins Not Tragedies." Brandon Urie's voice will forever be recognizable to our generation.

To Fall Out Boy,

Even though no one would ever spell "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" correctly, the song was still one of the best. When you made a comeback in 2013 every single teenager was beside themselves, and feeling nostalgic.

To Blink 182,

Your super short and funny songs gave my friends and I a lot of laughs when we were in middle school. If you don't know the song "All The Small Things" or "What's My Age Again?," then we have a problem.

To All Time Low,

Thank you for fulfilling a young girl's need to listen to punk music, and thank you for your endless songs that every teen knew the words too. The "Weightless" music video will forever be one of my favorites.

To Green Day,

"Time Of Your Life" will always be the number one graduation song, and "21 Guns" will always be the song I hear playing in every restaurant, store, and my car and iPod of course.

To Paramore,

I would like to thank Haley Williams for inspiring every girl to want to put funky colors in their hair, and belt out punk songs at the top of their lungs.

To Evanescence,

I remember my cooler, older cousin loving Evanescence before I listened to anything other than the Disney channel. I started listening to them after that, and never wanted to stop. "My Immortal," "Call Me When You're Sober," and "Bring Me To Live" will always be some of my main jams.

To My Chemical Romance,

When I was a new teenager, I remember listening to "Teenagers" and being scared for what was to come. Little did I know I would be loving My Chemical Romance more and more as time went on. "Mama" is my favorite, but all of the others like "Famous Last Words," "Dead!," "Disenchanted" and of course, "Welcome To The Black Parade" and more will never be taken off my music lists.

To Hollywood Undead,

For the people that knew Hollywood Undead, we were a tight group. Rapping "Everywhere I Go" was my go-to party trick. I even had a Hollywood Undead shirt from Hot Topic. I would like to say I grew out of Hollywood Undead, but I still know the words to almost all of your songs.

To Good Charlotte,

"I Don't Want To Be In Love" was one of the first songs that I learned how to play on the piano, because I loved it so much. "Girls Don't Like Boys" is also a classic. I'm listening to it as I type. Good Charlotte will always be good, and I will never refuse listening to them.

To Bowling For Soup,

"1985" was the biggest song during my childhood and teen years. The words are forever imprinted in the brains of our generation. Also, "High School Never Ends" is not only one of the truest songs in history, but it also rocks.

Pop Punk music will always be the best, no matter what. Also, special shout out to Jimmy Eat World, All American Rejects, Simple Plan, Sum 41, Cartel, Mayday Parade, The Maine, Taking Back Sunday, Relient K, A Day To Remember, and Boys Like Girls.

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.
