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.

No need to argue - whole album.

Radiohead’s Talk Show Host

Everybody Hurts, Sometimes

For full on teen angst you can't beat "I believe in you" by Twisted Sister.I

"Why does no one seem to understand that it's more than love I need
It's so hard to keep your faith alive when nobody else believes
Oh, I need someone there for me, need someone who can see, need someone to show me
Oh, that they are there to help me fight, if I fall, to set me right, someone there to hold the light
Won't someone say
I believe in you

It's so hard to do it all yourself, fighting for your dreams alone
When the toy's upon the highest shelf, a child's tears soon become stone
Oh, why does no one lend a hand, why does no one understand why I need to make a stand
Oh, it's so hard to carry on when all your hope is gone, all your dreams have come undone
I need to hear
I believe in you"

In the end - linking park and
Evanescence - bring me to life

The Cranberries -ode to my family

Do do do doooo
Do do do dooooo.....

Anything by Gene but listened to Olympian on a loop! Still love it, still a bit angsty!

Garbage - Stupid Girl
All of Jagged Little Pill but especially You you you OUGHTA KNOW bellowed at the top of my lungs!

Later on as a student, Coldplay - the Scientist for first serious break up - couldn’t care less about that ex now (or Coldplay for that matter!) but even just thinking of that track cracks open a terrible ache in my heart, I spent months crying 😭

Lots of Bob Dylan.

Let her cry by Hootie and the Blowfish

@DickZillaofTheVilla yes, yes, yes! Talk show host is the one.

Escaping by Dina Caroll. God, I can't even bear to think of it now!

Mad World - Tears for Fears

Lots of The Smiths. But I thought they were funny so they cheered me up.

Every day is like Sunday. I lived in a seaside town.

The Cure - Night like this....

The Smiths - There is a light and it never goes out...

Depeche Mode - Question of Lust

Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly

Tracy Chapman's self titled debut album and Deacon Blue's Raintown.

Jagged Little Pill was my twenties angst album.

I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace
I'm Only Here to Disappoint by Alkaline Trio (more of a early 20s angst song but much of their earlier stuff worked!)
Saviour by Rise Against

Plus like most of the songs already listed!

Goo goo dolls- Iris!

Was going to say anything Alanis Morrisette but see I've been beaten to it!
Also Meredith Brooks - Bitch

Yes yes to the whole alanis/smiths/Radiohead thing. Plus, for a brief period summer 91, Bryan bloody Adams and also Extreme, more than words.

Small black flowers that grow in the sky - manics
Actually anything by manics.
Also L7 when I was feeling angry.

The soundtrack to The Crow too. The Crow was my teenage angst movie.

Nirvana- Pennyroyal Tea
Pearl Jam- Jeremy/Black
Marilyn Manson- Sweet Dreams
Smashing Pumpkins-Disarm/Bullet With Butterfly Wings
Papa Roach- Between Angels and Insects
Linkin Park- Crawling
Boxcar Racer- There Is/ Watch the World

The only ones I'd afford any musical talent to now are Pearl Jam and the Pumpkins.

@FairyJuice also Letters to God by BCR. Infact the whole BCR album!
