Slightly embarrassed to say, the early 2000s continues to be one of my favorite eras of music. I think it has to do with all of the angst in the lyrics and how they were somehow so relatable, at the time. This list of songs helped get me through some of what I thought would be my toughest times, and now they are just a reminder of how small our problems truly are. Turn up the volume, release some angst and enjoy!
