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.

My Immortal - Evanescence
I get to love you - Ruelle (I thought no one would ever love me so it kinda hurt)
A LOT of Pink, probably Runaway and Please Don't Leave Me most notably.
Also a lot of Within Temptation, the Swan Song and Forgiven mostly.
Also Lullaby and I'd Come For You, both by Nickelback.

The whole of the album Version 2.0 by Garbage

@StillSmallVoice Not that old - I think it had been out about 10 years when I discovered it! I loved the whole album. Haven't listened to it for years, so am going off to add it to my Spotify list now! Yes, that lyric does seem more appropriate to my life now

Radiohead is always on my summer tunes playlist. The sun comes out and I think of Radiohead and Nirvana and long nostalgic days outside. I guess melancholy makes me happy . I reckon my teen angst songs were probably
Deftones: my own summer
RATM: killing in the name,
Slipknot: spit it out
Offspring: All I want
Plus many others! Good times. My tween is just starting to play angsty music. I love it, makes me laugh, she thinks she's so cool listening to tame things like Evanescence and My Chemical Romance, but unfortunately for her, blaring out 'I'm not listening' type songs doesn't quite have the same effect when I know all the lyrics and sing along. Alternative music doesn't seem to have moved on much.

'I am a rock' by Simon and Garfunkel. And probably most of the Sounds of Silence album.

@Hastags yes absolutely...just saw the video the other day and it brought up so much nostalgia. Love all her music, it was the soundtrack to my teenage years and early twenties...wish I could go back

There were so many. I was a very angsty teenager with a bad relationship with my parents and music was my life, with hours on end sitting in my room with curtains drawn, listening to the artists who really really understood me in a way nobody else did...

Specifically though:
Perfect - Alanis Morissette
Brazen - Skunk Anansie
Creep - Radiohead
Hope I Die Tonight - Paw
Most of Jewel Pieces of You album
Daughter - Pearl Jam
Anything by Nirvana - my dad once stormed into my room, threw my against the wall and took my In Utero cassette out of my hi-fi, pulling and snapping the tape out of it because he "was fucking fed up of that shit" and never wanted to hear it again. Which gives you some reasons as to why I turned to angsty music in the first place.

In addition, I had a brief relationship with a boy at school whom I'd adored from afar for about 4 years. I was beside myself with happiness when he said he liked me and asked me out. He was my first boyfriend and first kiss then I was plunged to the depths of misery when I found out he had snogged another girl in the park (ironically I couldn't meet him that night as I was grounded due to my parents finding out I had a boyfriend which they had forbidden). Three songs got me through that time. It's been 25 years and still these take me right back.

Don't Cry - Guns'n'Roses (played over and over again the night I found out he had cheated)
One - U2 (in the weeks after we broke up - mainly for the lyric, "did I disappoint you, or leave a bad taste in your mouth. You act like it never happened and you want me to go without")
You Oughta Know - Alanis Morisette (when he started going out with the other girl and they became the hot/cool couple at school.)

Mine have all been mentioned - Evanescence, Blink 182, Pink. Oh and The Scientist by Coldplay. I remember listening to that and thinking that I truly understood heartbreak because I thought that Scott fancied me but all along he was just being nice to get closer to my best friend. Sob!

17 by Janis Ian, so apt, and when I was really down Angel by Jimi Hendrix. Really showing my age here.

Just laughing as rereading the thread noticed I'm not the only oldie who was affected by At 17.

Another one showing her age here.... Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks.

Marrakesh by New Model Army

Yes, to Creep by Radiohead too. Pretty much anything by Nirvana but especially the MTV Unplugged album, Electro-shock Blues by Eels, Razorblade Suitcase by Bush. I was also a teen who raided her parents music, so also Everybody Hurts by REM (I never gave my dad his cassette of Automatic For People back) and Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel.

The August and Everything After album by Counting Crows was the soundtrack to my various teenage existential crises. Still holds up pretty well actually, 20 or so years later.

Acetone by Kenickie

24 hours, Joy Division

Nirvana, Alanis Morissette and Marilyn Manson when I was feeling angsty. Also the Manic Street Preachers' 'Generation Terrorists' album.

I was a very depressed teenager, though. I remember that I couldn't listen to REM's 'Everybody Hurts' without crying, regardless of context, because it made me feel a tiny bit less alone.

Frankie fuck you right back. Just had to listen again,

Love Will Tear Us Apart, Joy Division - played it to death.

Jagged Little Pill here too!

So many- I had pretty good reasons to be an angsty teenage but I definitely curated a long list of songs to be miserable to

Anything from Nevermind/In Utero - Nirvana
Creep and Just - Radiohead
Roses for the Dead - Funeral for a Friend
It's Been a While - Staind
Wait and Bleed, Duality - Slipknot
Wish I had an Angel - Nightwish
Keep on Livin - Le Tiger
Zombie - Cranberries
Bring me to life- Evanescence

And anything by Jack Off Jill, who I was utterly obsessed with. 90s riot grrl goth punk band from Florida.

When I was 15,in 1979,it was 'Get out of here' or 'Toughest Street in Town' by Thin Lizzy. A year or two later it was 'Tom Sawyer' by Rush.

Evanescence's Fallen album.

Still listen to it now in the car.

I'd forgotten about Simon and Garfunkle! So many of theirs, probably the entire Sound of Silence album.

"Fallen" by Evanescence was my Ds1 's angst music. It seemed to be de rigeur for his peer group.

Ryan Star - Losing Your Memory
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Your Guardian Angel
Boys Like Girls - Holiday
