What was your teenage angst song?

[Prestia]

Mine was Creep by Radiohead. I thought I was so angsty and tortured

My niece is currently heartbroken and playing Lewis Capaldi on a loop.

Welcome to my life - Simple Plan or Hold on - Good Charlotte

Basically anything pop/punk.

Most of the skunk anansie stoosh and post orgasmic chill albums

Yes notmyrealname!! I always wondered if there were any other bcr fans out there, I don't think I ever met any irl 😂

@FairyJuice I put it on on the way to work today haha

Watch the World is another piece of bitter-beautiful angst

I would sell a kidney to see them tour

Amazed no one has mentioned the soundtrack to Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet. Angsting heaven

Yes Alannis, Linkin Park, REM, Avril, Eminem. I angsted hard.

@BallacheForLife
Radiohead talk show host was in the film Romeo and Juliet and has been mentioned. Amazing song 😊

Early noughties was peak angst for me! Deftones - Pink Maggit and Staind - It's Been a While were two that I distinctly remember making me hole up in my room and write loads of faux tortured-soul introspective stuff in my diary. Also big fan of anything by Soundgarden and Alice in Chains.

I actually still love many of the bands and their songs mentioned today but I was just so affected when I was 14...

Going back to OP's point about their niece, was there any Lewis Capaldi equivalent for the less pretentious angsty youth of the 00s?

If I had to pick one? Numb - linkin Park

But basically anything early Avril Lavigne (first and second albums), evanescence's fallen, bit of mcr thrown in for good measure.

I thought I was so emo as a teen!

No doubt - don't speak

Black - Pearl Jam

Still is to be honest

Say Hello Wave Goodbye -David Gray version
Love Bites - Def Leppard
Gravity - Embrace
The Scientist - Coldplay
