2000s

It’s pretty disgusting to realize that 2009 was over a decade ago. It feels like just yesterday that the 2000s were ending. This was the time when we were all getting really into Facebook, Kanye West was interrupting Taylor Swift at the Grammys and the music on our iPods couldn’t have been better.  Because we can’t […]

Chances are when you think of 2000s albums, a few distinct images spring to mind. Let us guess… Panic! At The Disco‘s A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out? Paramore‘s Riot!? My Chemical Romance‘s Life On The Murder Scene? All amazing… But we’re missing more than a few. In an iTunes-dominated world, album covers were often the first things […]

Heather Baron-Gracie of Pale Waves is slowly becoming everything she looked up to as a child.  Looking back, her musical hero wasn’t ever a typical “girly pop star.” Avril Lavigne made Baron-Gracie feel like she could openly be a tomboy, put down the Barbies and ride a skateboard with messy hair and a runny nose.  […]

The Down Under is giving rise to some of the most prominent artists of the modern pop-punk scene. With bands such as With Confidence, Tonight Alive and Trophy Eyes, the catalytic contributions of Australia can’t be understated. As is the case in all notable scenes, though, the underground runs deep. And with seemingly endless music coming […]

Anyone who’s had any kind of scene phase is likely to look back on the 2000s fondly. With numerous hit alternative albums, including Paramore‘s Riot! and Yellowcard‘s Ocean Avenue, we were really blessed with some great music. Unfortunately, our nostalgia really only tends to gravitate toward a small number of the decade’s countless masterpieces. Don’t believe us? Dig up […]

Alternative rock—pop punk in particular—is going through some new waves at present. Especially now with downtime in the wake of canceled tours, many artists are turning to creative experimentalism. The result? A stacked collection of new alternative bands with totally unique sounds. Granted, it can be hard to find some of these gems. With music […]

If anyone had told us in 2005 that emo culture wasn’t going to dominate forever, we would’ve rolled our eyes. Of course, as time went on, it became clear that no cultural shifts are permanent. And as quickly as we’d found ourselves perusing iTunes and blogging about My Chemical Romance, it all went away.  Not […]

The 2010s brought us a new wave of alternative music. From the rise of pop-punk revivalists, including State Champs and Neck Deep, to modern hardcore outfits such as FEVER 333, the scene is alive as ever. Much like during the pop-punk heyday of the 2000s, our favorite bands feel like an extension of who we […]

You don’t have to look far to see U.K. bands making waves in the pop-punk scene. Groups such as Boston Manor, Trash Boat and As It Is have all made significant contributions to the latest revival era. But what’s going on in the underground? Quite a lot, as it turns out. And the beauty of […]

Any former emo kid remembers singing along to their favorite songs with eyeliner running in sheets down their cheeks. Honestly, were we really that sad, or did our iPods just suck us into a black hole of raw emotion? Regardless of what came first, the sad or the band, the lyrics of the 2000s hit […]

Because we’ve all been social distancing and spending a lot of time at home these past few weeks, we’ve wasted an embarrassing amount of time on TikTok. The app is a godsend in these times and never fails to make us laugh. There are tons of trends on TikTok, such as the ever-popular dance routines, […]

It can sometimes be exhausting to find a new TV show to invest yourself in when there are so many options with streaming. That’s why it’s a good idea to revisit some of your old favorites from the 2000s.  The 2000s were filled with shows we loved before Netflix was as popular as it is now. […]

What’s that old saying? “What goes around comes around?” All we’re saying is that plenty of new things grow out of old soil. We saw how the ’90s grunge scene killed the hair-farming aspects of ’80s metal. So it was inevitable that the next gen of rockers would marry sick riffs with expanded guitar shredding. […]

Remember when Fall Out Boy commanded you to “dance, dance”? How about the time you admitted to My Chemical Romance that you simply were “not OK”? All those times you made fun of celebrities screaming the words to Good Charlotte‘s “Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous” at the top of your lungs? Now how about […]

Many of us have spent more time than we would care to admit on TikTok, especially during this time of self-isolation due to coronavirus. However, it’s a great platform one can use to share and create some laughs. You even have the chance to use whatever music you want in the background of your videos. […]

The 2000s birthed some of our favorite bands of all time, and those acts gifted us with some astounding live albums, spotlighting a certain time in each band’s history. Records like these show the viewer a more in-depth, behind-the-minds feel.  From My Chemical Romance to Paramore, check out some of our favorite live albums from […]

It’s hard to believe that the ’00s were more than a decade ago. Just as our playlists have continued to evolve so has our fashion taste (with some scene classics still mixed in, of course). Even so, there were quite a few questionable fashion choices made at the time that we wouldn’t be caught dead […]

The 2000s were some of the best times for scene music. My Chemical Romance were leading the Black Parade, All Time Low were rocking long hair and the music videos were undoubtedly iconic.  There are so many songs from the decade that we only have to hear a few seconds of to start belting out […]

[Photos by: Blink-182/Feeling This] We were, well, a bit confused when those '90s JNCO jeans made their comeback, and it turns out that’s not the only '90s/‘00s trend that’s finding a way back into our wardrobes. Yep, that’s right: Big fashion sites are reporting that the early ‘00s revival is making its way back into […]
