5 Bands I Rocked Out To During My Teenage Years

Whether you are a teenager now or an adult reflecting on the days of when you were young, you have a certain band or genre of music you listened to during your teenage years.

Yes, the songs that made you laugh, cry and carried you on through all of the tragedy you have endured throughout the years.

For me, that's emo music. Even though I am 23 years old, I still listen to the same bands I have listened to when I was a teenager.

1. Fall Out Boy

With hits like "Dance, Dance", "Centuries", and "My Songs Know You Did in the Dark", Fall Out Boy was the epitome of pop ego music. It wasn't hardcore emo music, but they were fun to dance to at school dances.



2. Evanescence

Great songs like "My Immortal", "Sweet Sacrifice", "Bring Me to Life", and "Going Under", these were the hardcore emo songs one could blare during a messy breakup or when they are angry.



3. My Chemical Romance

Gerard Way and his bandmates shook the 2000's generation (my generation) with their songs "Welcome to the Black Parade", "Famous Last Words", and "I'm Not Okay". These song are also good to play out loud when you just don't give a crap.



4. The All-American Rejects

With songs like "Dirty Little Secret", "Gives You Hell" and "Swing, Swing", these are songs I must definitely had on my MP3 player as a teenager. They are great songs to chill out to.



5. Paramore

Hayley Williams is one of the female vocalists everyone from the 2000's generation has heard of, if not have listened to. With songs like "Misery Business","Ignorance" and "Decode", teens all over the world are jamming out to Paramore.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
