last days of april- will the violins be playing?
it wasn’t until ten years later that you found out this band was swedish, and that just makes them even cooler to you.
placebo- bionic
saying you listened to placebo was pretty cool for a while, and it helped that you actually liked them, unlike some other bands you just said you liked so people would stop giving you shit [ahem…nirvana]
smashing pumpkins- landslide
your teenage self just couldn’t appreciate how awesome the original of this song was until later. the good news is that billy did it enough justice to get you through those trying times.
midtown- just rock & roll
that drive-thru records sampler you picked up for $$$FREEEEE was the best ever. it brought you this song. and this song was awesome.
dead kennedys- kill the poor
listening to this while playing nintendo in your bedroom was basically the coolest you ever felt.
minor threat- straight edge
you were sXe and you were a dick about it, so you listened to minor threat and felt accepted in the world. spoiler alert: you got drunk your first week in college.
suicide machines- i never promised you a rose garden
the SLC punk soundtrack was your key to coolness. you squandered it.
finch- letters to you
this SOUNDS like pop punk…but someone is screaming in the background…but it’s not hardcore or metal. it’s on drive-thru records. what is this black magic?*
*black magic you will be ashamed to admit you like in about 6 months, but magic nonetheless.
the exploited- sex and violence
[two things you know absolutely nothing about]
the benjamins- wonderful
you really loved dudes with nasal singing voices on drive-thru records. you couldn’t help it, it all just rocked.
