An Emo Playlist Before Emo Turned Into Discount Goth
Picture it. It's the mid-2000's. Think 2005 or 2006. It's my senior year of high school, and I can't wait to graduate and leave my hometown. My friends and I would often take a drive to Mid-Michigan to wander the nearest Hot Topic and seek out some of our favorite bands.

It's A Teenage Wasteland
It's all the same, only the names will change, every day, it seems we're wasting away. What lines from a song better describe the angst of a teenager in the eighties and nineties. Boy, Bon Jovi was great at capturing the mentality of young men in the times. He was also capturing the hearts, minds, and if he'd let them souls of teen girls everywhere. Which, was something that young boys wanted to do.

Driving Around With Angst
Picture it... suburban Chicago 1995. I had my driver’s license, a fresh breakup, life was rough at home, and enough angst to fill Lake Michigan. My saving grace was a 90 minute carefully curated Memorex mixtape, and enough gas money to drive around aimlessly for hours.

Serotonin, Freedom, and Rebellion: My Teen Playlist
I'm very excited to be writing about this! Music was the thing that kept me happy and optimistic in my teens and still does to this day. I didn't really listen to what my friends listened to because I couldn't really relate to it. I liked listening to songs that gave me a feeling to soar and fly.

Eight Moments, Played Off Beat
When we were finally graced with a decent internet connection back in my rural Kansas town, one of the first things I did was find an MP3 site and start looking up tracks. I didn't get too far, instead spending the better part of an hour listening to the same two songs over and over again: "Points of Authority" by Linkin Park and "Running Away" by Hoobastank.

Welcome to the Black Parade
To prepare for this playlist journey back into when I would only wear black and eyeliner was my armor I decided to listen to these albums completely through to get back into what I was feeling at the time. Depending on your mood you can listen to it straight forward and go on the journey with me though I would suggest hitting that shuffle button.

Angst, Angst Baby.
I'm one of "those people" - if you're going to do something, do it right. So before I plunged myself into the responsibilities of adulthood with full force, I made damn sure to live out my teenage years with as much stereotypical, youthful, broody, moody angst as I could muster.

Looking Out the School Bus Window
I was not one of those kids who had good taste in music. In fact, I had awful taste in music. Well, according to all of the other kids. I tended to listen to whatever my parents listened to, and couldn't figure out how all the cool kids found all the cool songs.

Nine Songs Reflecting My Teenage Angst. Top Story - May 2021.
The definition of angst is: “feelings of fear, anxiety, apprehension or insecurity.” At no time in our life do we feel angst perhaps as much as when we were teenagers. Oh, how I remember when I would play a song that “got me” over-and-over while I wallowed in my angst, as a teen! Below are the songs I remember that expressed my teen angst the most:

Music is a Safe Place.
When I was ten years old my mom moved the two of us away from my hometown in Washington to Las Vegas, NV. My older cousin came with us for about a year. We all lived together in my grandma’s house. My cousin and I would sit on the front porch at night talking about silly things like how the mountain in the distance looked like it was pasted on the sky. Similar to how they do it in the movies with their fake backdrops. During one of these conversations that stole us from reality, I was gifted my first Linkin Park cd. I had borrowed Hybrid Theory from him and could not stop listening to it. I carried my portable CD player with me everywhere and would always have the cd playing in my background. Finally, he just told me to keep it.
