Tuesday Music Bop: Punk Rock
Hella fetch
Awwwwwww shit, son. Let’s listen to some punk.
Because this is such a wide genre with so many quality artists, most of these will be hits you’ve probably heard before. It’s also a lot of songs.
Obviously most of these songs are NSFW.
Good Charlotte - Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous
Ah, Good Charlotte.
Celebrities do always be pissing and moaning, don’t they?
The Offspring - The Kids Aren’t Alright
This song vaguely aligns with my pessimistic political worldview (which is, generally, “shit’s all fucky”).
Linkin Park - Breaking The Habit
Probably the GOATs of punk rock, right? Truly unbeatable.
This song is, I think, about being unable to not pick every fight in existence, which I could relate to as a boy.
I would be remiss if I didn’t also share this video.
Paramore - Misery Business
Paramore: masters of punk rock; disastrously bad at posting the correct photos on Twitter1.
Anberlin - Feel Good Drag
One of the songs my older sisters — always so ANGWY — would listen to over and over while they were stewing.
Actually, most of these songs fall into that category. I have my sisters to thank for my love of punk rock.
Bowling For Soup - High School Never Ends
You now understand the subtitle of my worst post.
Green Day - 21 Guns
If you noticed that this song was already in a previous post, then I love you, and also stop complaining — this is my blog.
Relient K - Sadie Hawkins Dance
This one’s for Riley. Real recognize real.
This song is largely about confidence — and they truly embody that by having the raw courage to clearly, undeniably, throw completely random lines at the wall in order to fill rhymes, with no cohesion or sense whatsoever. That’s king shit right there.
Sum 41 - Over My Head (Better Off Dead)
Keep waiting, my man. We might get there one day.
American Hi-Fi - The Art Of Losing
This song is so hilariously stupid; it seems to be written by a five year old. I absolutely adore everything about it.
Panic! At The Disco - Camisado
Possibly the single most overplayed artist in all of history. Find a new favorite band, 16 year old sister of mine 20 years ago.
The Offspring - Why Don’t You Get A Job
This is just a fun, whimsical song, you know? What a pretty melody!
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Face Down
This song made 13-year-old me feel like a BIG OL’ FEMINIST BADASS, imagining myself standing up to some guy beating on his woman.
+44 - When Your Heart Stops Beating
This song is about heroin or something, right?
Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
I have no idea what this song means or even what most of the words are — it’s a good thing I don’t have to justify shit to you.
My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade
Obviously this song is going to be in any collection of punk rock.
I don’t really like it very much; this list just feels incomplete otherwise.
Good Charlotte - I Just Wanna Live
Ah, Good Charlotte.
Piss and moan, my celebrity friends. Piss and moan.
Hayley Williams accidentally randomly posted herself naked on Twitter once. Fuck, I feel bad for her. Imagine doing that.
