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.

I couldn't listen to "Don't Speak" by No Doubt when I split up with my first boyfriend, I was absolutely distraught and couldn't listen to it for a long time.
My go to teenage angst song was November Rain.

Threesoups · 19/06/2019 21:39

I was just about to say The Killing Moon!

Also The Hardest Walk by Jesus And Mary Chain.

Torn by Natalie Imbruglia, oh dear me

Threesoups · 19/06/2019 21:40

November Rain is epic. It always used to come first in those music channel top rock songs countdowns.

EleanorReally · 19/06/2019 22:02

And I also had pink Floyd's The Wall, which was great

Weak - Skunk Anansie for angry angst
Olympian - Gene for 'no one understands me' angst
The Smiths & Suede for normal everyday angst.

Creep was a teenage anthem!

My most angsty song weirdly was janis ian with the song "17"
