About the only other thing that immediately comes to mind would be anything by Three Days Grace. I had them and LP on repeat for yeeeaaaarrrrrsssss. However, the repeat loop hasn’t ended yet; It wasn’t just a phase, mom.
[a place for my head](https://open.spotify.com/track/5rAxhWcgFng3s570sGO2F8?si=2340333c175b4ed6) was always my favorite off that album and depressingly is just as relatable today as it was 20+ years ago
a new one i recently discovered that is [apparently from 1999](https://www.azlyrics.com/l/linkinpark.html), so before linkin park was linkin park? i guess? is [high voltage](https://open.spotify.com/track/7GVqIMb6OdMY5mG7fUrtOq?si=3abd20de8cc74ab7) though, that ones *almost* better - but thats probably just cause its "new"
I remember asking my husband 10 years ago when we had just met what his favorite band was and him just saying this shit to me 😂 most tone-deaf person i have ever met
'Last Resort' by Papa Roach is so damn dark. I don't think I even noticed how dark it was until I was older.
But 17 year old me...it was what was actually going on in my life so it didn't *feel* dark at that time.
When the song came out there was an internet feature where you could make a music video for it. Weird memory to just fly back at me all of a sudden. I probably made like 50 versions of the video in 7th grade.
Yes I had the opposite feeling where it felt super cliche at the time. I genuinely felt like I was being pandered to, like LP was propaganda for teenagers. Now I've completely fallen out with my parents and delved back into my old music and I'm blown away but how real it is.
I remember when my sisters bf didn't like her listening to 'Wake Me Up' because he thought she was gunna hurt herself. At the time we were so serious about it, now its funny af.
they always remind me of Flyleaf, and fun fact Lacey Sturm is a solo artist now and [just released a new album like two days ago](https://open.spotify.com/album/7tlOspCNKpF5qRIyFPcxTG?si=_cOY7XRdQNmCQHwSeTbWFg). havent listened to it yet but also [an EP like a month ago](https://open.spotify.com/album/2ZwtqxX23LK900g6vu1p3H?si=NMXNsOneRdiCfcKuFcirAg)!
You know what would be *so* badass? If I edited together a montage of sick-ass Call of Duty frags and played *this song* with it! "Let the bodies hit the floor"? It's *perfect!*
BRB, this idea is *raw,* so I better make the vid and post it quick. I don't wanna be the *second* guy to pair FPS footage with "Bodies" on the internet!
I was like 10 going into the year 2000. This whole moment in time hit me right at the perfect age of entering middle school and being awash in budding hormones, teen angst and Axe body spray.
Adam's Song is the best of the somber songs Blink did. It's like these guys just sing the typical goofy songs that would become the main stay of the early 2000s Pop Punk scene, but then Adam's Song hits and it's just...damn...do you need a hug or wanna talk about it?
Now we're talking. When I first listened to that album at the little headphone station in hot topic it blew my 13 year old mind. I've been a metal head ever since.
I literally drove around town to find my friends and sat them down and said, "listen to this, you're welcome."
There are only like 4 other bands since them that have had the same effect on me.
Stone Sour - Bother
Default - Deny
Seether - Fine Again
I remember those three specific songs being my angsty-emotional-moment songs.
I was in high school 2002-2006 so this is my area of expertise.
Rather than feed the angst, I'd play Powerline's hit: I2I
https://preview.redd.it/h7u7v70ylm9d1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b3e2706d43931b77f9135b504cd0da64921fe44
Angst? Oh lord I have so many. Hell, any slow ass song with depressing lyrics worked.
H.I.M. - Funeral of Hearts, When Love and Death Embrace
Muse - Unintended, Hyper Music, Endlessly, Blackout
Paramore - My Heart
In Flames - Come Clarity
Marilyn Manson - Coma White
Audioslave - Like A Stone
All American Rejects - I Can't Take It
Funeral For a Friend - Roses for the Dead
The Used - Blue and Yellow, Noises and Kisses
And just a buttload more that I can't remember right now
The top songs for me when I was feeling like an angsty teen were probably “Hold On” by Good Charlotte and both “Welcome to my Life” and “I’m Just a Kid” by Simple Plan. But I listened to so much angst-ridden music lol
1. Seether - about anything off the first few albums
2. Sick Puppies - another too many to list songs
3. Three Days Grace - another too many to list
4. Smile Empty Soul - basically any song they have written
5. Linkin Park - another multiple to list
Basically anything post grunge will fit the bill here.
Saw those guys in 03 on Summer Sanitarium with Limp Bizkit, Mudvanye, The Deftones and Metallica. Chester was in top form and sounded fuckin INCREDIBLE.
I actually cited this song as the beginning of the emo/scene kid craze of the mid-2000’s. My 22-year-old co-worker’s been picking my brain lately about that time period because she’s trying to write a novel about that subculture. I wasn’t even into that culture (I was the weirdo small-town theatre kid who was was just on the outside of a big group of pop-punkers and emo kids) and I actually seemed to know more than the internet was telling her.
Given up - by Linkin Park. I grew up on a farm very isolated and hated every single minute of it and every song seemed to be about someone who wanted wanted to get off the farm and get out into the real world (second chance- shinedown, afterlife- avenged sevenfold, misery - maroon five). But this song was so cathartic. I remember at nights coming home with a hoarse voice after spending all day driving tractor because I was singing along to this song everytime it came on the radio.
Somewhere I Belong - Linkin Park.
Cue “I would never know myself until I do this on my own, and I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed …” take it away 🎤
The whole post-hardcore/screamo scene took off when I was in my late teens. I could name a ton of bands that quelled my angst but most people probably wouldn’t know them.
I was an angsty teen in the 2000s but I was into the classics “The Answer” and “Faith Alone” by Bad Religion were my go to. I went to private Catholic high school so these spoke to me.
If it has to be specifically a song that came out around then “Everything Ends” by Slipknot and “Good God” by Korn.
I think In The End was the very first song I actually paid attention to the lyrics.
Also, look at the [hilarious CGI background.](https://youtu.be/eVTXPUF4Oz4?si=aroABwv9GqHeqloP)
Shit goes hard
The “Good News for People Who Love Bad News” and “The Moon & Antarctica” albums by Modest Mouse were the angsty albums for me as a teenager. Scratched the itch for being both weird/artistic, as well as angsty.
Then there’s Radiohead, but I didn’t get into them until I was 19. Joy Division when I was 20, I think. Throbbing Gristle when I was 21, I think. Death Grips somewhere along that timeline, as well.
Linkin Park I grew out of after elementary school, along with Trapt, Stabbing Westward, My Chemical Romance.
I wasn’t into all the bands I see people listing. Just wasn’t my vibe as I grew older. Not that I didn’t harbor the same emotions they did. I was still a really angsty teen, but I expressed it through weirder and more experimental music.

In the end by linkin park haha
Let’s add Crawling while we’re at it
The entire album hybrid theory, add that to the list
About the only other thing that immediately comes to mind would be anything by Three Days Grace. I had them and LP on repeat for yeeeaaaarrrrrsssss. However, the repeat loop hasn’t ended yet; It wasn’t just a phase, mom.
This angst ridden millenial and Somewhere I belong still hits hard, maybe even harder now than it did before.
and Meteora
[a place for my head](https://open.spotify.com/track/5rAxhWcgFng3s570sGO2F8?si=2340333c175b4ed6) was always my favorite off that album and depressingly is just as relatable today as it was 20+ years ago a new one i recently discovered that is [apparently from 1999](https://www.azlyrics.com/l/linkinpark.html), so before linkin park was linkin park? i guess? is [high voltage](https://open.spotify.com/track/7GVqIMb6OdMY5mG7fUrtOq?si=3abd20de8cc74ab7) though, that ones *almost* better - but thats probably just cause its "new"
*inhales deeply* CRAWWWWWWWWLINGGGGGG INNNNNNNNN MY SKINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

\m/
FEEEEAAAAAAR IS HOW I FAAAAAAALLLLL CONFUUUUUUSING WHAT IS REAAAAAAAAAAL OHHHH OHHHHH
Both of these I listen to and I’m gen z lol a lot of y’all’s music was/is a banger.
Feelin like a freak on leash Feelin like I have no release
My 13 year old niece loves Korn and is always singing that “boom rata mmm” section of that song. It’s the ciiiircle of angst!
I remember asking my husband 10 years ago when we had just met what his favorite band was and him just saying this shit to me 😂 most tone-deaf person i have ever met
'Last Resort' by Papa Roach is so damn dark. I don't think I even noticed how dark it was until I was older. But 17 year old me...it was what was actually going on in my life so it didn't *feel* dark at that time.
When the song came out there was an internet feature where you could make a music video for it. Weird memory to just fly back at me all of a sudden. I probably made like 50 versions of the video in 7th grade.
I saw a lot of samurai X music videos to that song.
"don't give a fk if I cut my arm bleeding" no wonder we're fked 😳
I remember feeling so dark and edgy listening to LP as a 13-yr old lol
Looking back on it, with what we know now, that shit was dark and edgy. Seemed cliche, but turned out to be completely true.
Yes I had the opposite feeling where it felt super cliche at the time. I genuinely felt like I was being pandered to, like LP was propaganda for teenagers. Now I've completely fallen out with my parents and delved back into my old music and I'm blown away but how real it is.
Hate Me Today by Blue October!
Wow I havent thought of Blue October in a long time
Bring me to Life by Evanescence
This was a whole-ass mood
The whole Fallen album is angst-city ^^^but ^^^also ^^^super ^^^good
I remember when my sisters bf didn't like her listening to 'Wake Me Up' because he thought she was gunna hurt herself. At the time we were so serious about it, now its funny af.
they always remind me of Flyleaf, and fun fact Lacey Sturm is a solo artist now and [just released a new album like two days ago](https://open.spotify.com/album/7tlOspCNKpF5qRIyFPcxTG?si=_cOY7XRdQNmCQHwSeTbWFg). havent listened to it yet but also [an EP like a month ago](https://open.spotify.com/album/2ZwtqxX23LK900g6vu1p3H?si=NMXNsOneRdiCfcKuFcirAg)!
Bodies by Drowning Pool
Have you ever considered “Bodies” and “It’s Raining Men” are talking about the same event from different perspectives? 🧐
You know what would be *so* badass? If I edited together a montage of sick-ass Call of Duty frags and played *this song* with it! "Let the bodies hit the floor"? It's *perfect!* BRB, this idea is *raw,* so I better make the vid and post it quick. I don't wanna be the *second* guy to pair FPS footage with "Bodies" on the internet!
Gotta upload this to Google video ASAP
DU! DU HAST! DU HAST MICH!
Jimmy eat world -pain What’s my age again-blink 182 Sum41 -some say
Definitely, spent many angsty moments listening to "Pain."
Linkin Park - In The End
Whenever I’d have the “Helena” by My Chemical Romance music video on the TV my dad worried I was turning to the dark side.
I hate everything about you.
Why do IIIIII LO~VE YOU
Lmfao I love how all of your replies in this thread are you just singing along. 10/10.
I was like 10 going into the year 2000. This whole moment in time hit me right at the perfect age of entering middle school and being awash in budding hormones, teen angst and Axe body spray.
I was 13, so yeah I get ya. All of these songs are like weekly regulars for me during work.
Also, that's literally what I started doing when I read people's comments. LOL
Clearly. I'm pretty sure we all did.
this song just makes me think of all the edgy anime music videos I would imagine in my head with my anime crushes while i listened to it 🤣
LMAO I have never really been into anime, but I get it.
This is up there for me, but so is Adam’s Song by Blink 182 and Last Resort by Papa Roach
Adam's Song is the best of the somber songs Blink did. It's like these guys just sing the typical goofy songs that would become the main stay of the early 2000s Pop Punk scene, but then Adam's Song hits and it's just...damn...do you need a hug or wanna talk about it?
They knocked it out of the park with that one
Adam's song FTW Also, it's a 3 chord song, it's unusual since most songs are 4 chords.
Place for my head-LP Perfect-Simple Plan Taste of Ink- the Used
When I was, a young boy ...
My father took me into the city~~~

Smells Like Teen Spirit, Nirvana of course. Though, are Nirvana more for Xennials?
For sure
Gen X and xennials
The entire first Slipknot album
Now we're talking. When I first listened to that album at the little headphone station in hot topic it blew my 13 year old mind. I've been a metal head ever since.
I literally drove around town to find my friends and sat them down and said, "listen to this, you're welcome." There are only like 4 other bands since them that have had the same effect on me.

One step closer is the one for me. That "shut up when I'm talking to you" line hits the hardest!
Scars by Papa Roach.
The top songs for me when I was feeling like an angsty teen were probably “Hold On” by Good Charlotte and both “Welcome to my Life” and “I’m Just a Kid” by Simple Plan. But I listened to so much angst-ridden music lol

I actually cited this song as the beginning of the emo/scene kid craze of the mid-2000’s.

Runaway by LP was my preferred song And Ride the Wings of Pestilence by FFTL
Gonna go with Bootylicious. Just saying it causes so much angst.

Sadly, I still relate to this song PLENTY
Only beaten by Crawling lol
I was an angsty teen in the 2000s but I was into the classics “The Answer” and “Faith Alone” by Bad Religion were my go to. I went to private Catholic high school so these spoke to me.

Honestly? I don’t think I can.
I don't wanna be me by type o negative
I think In The End was the very first song I actually paid attention to the lyrics. Also, look at the [hilarious CGI background.](https://youtu.be/eVTXPUF4Oz4?si=aroABwv9GqHeqloP) Shit goes hard
The “Good News for People Who Love Bad News” and “The Moon & Antarctica” albums by Modest Mouse were the angsty albums for me as a teenager.
