lyrics

U.K. musician LESANE has dropped a brand-new music video for his track “HOUDINI.” Steady, pop-punk-inspired guitar riffs pull listeners into the song. Pop-infused drum beats and bass are then added into the mix, creating a perfect blend of alternative sounds that support the driving melodies. This backing crafts a solid stage for LESANE’s vocals to […]

In case you don’t have a reminder programmed, last week marked a significant, albeit painful, emo milestone. That is, we’re now 15 years out from the June 6, 2006 release of AFI’s DECEMBERUNDERGROUND. That’s a decade-and-a-half of practicing the “Miss Murder” scream as we flat iron our hair and permanently adorning overpriced shoes in haphazardly […]

It’s been just over a year since Nova Twins dropped their debut full-length, Who Are The Girls?, and hit us full blast with their eclectic and empowering brand of thrashy punk rock. Now, in the first-ever official remix to grace their discography, “Undertaker” has been tackled by none other than alternative powerhouse FEVER 333. Spearheaded by vocalist […]

We recently took a look back at our favorite songs from 2001 and realized, to our utmost horror, that Alkaline Trio‘s From Here To Infirmary celebrates its 20th birthday April 3. They grow up so fast… That said, the devastating cliché of watching two decades go by in the blink of an eye still doesn’t hold a candle […]

It’s hard to believe that we’ve now spent more time beyond the 2000s than within them. What’s worse? That means we’re now coming up on 20 years spent with some of our favorite alternative hits. This year, it’s all the 2001 songs that are celebrating the milestone birthday. Even two decades out, though, many of […]

If you grew up in the 2000s, rocked band T-shirts almost daily and decorated your locker top to bottom with clippings of Kellin Quinn and Oli Sykes, you’re definitely a child of the post-hardcore era.  Now, post-hardcore, while being a specific genre, is a very gray area where bands such as Bring Me The Horizon […]

What is pop punk without its guitarists? Really just some angsty spoken word over punchy drums and a bassline. Let’s be honest: We’d still probably listen to it, but it wouldn’t be nearly as good.  We may like to focus on vocals and lyrics when it comes to channeling our 2000s nostalgia. However, the guitarists […]

It’s pretty mind-blowing when you find out that you’ve been singing the wrong lyrics. Especially when you sing them to a song you’ve loved since you first listened to it.  We’ve all been there with wrong lyrics. Sometimes you just find out that you really don’t know the words like you thought you did. That […]

When you think of emo songs, you probably recall heart-wrenching tracks that you sing-scream all the words to. And you probably think of those tracks you turn to when you’re really going through it.  But the genre isn’t just filled with breakup ballads and screw-the-world anthems.  Read more: Gym Class Heroes’ “Cupid’s Chokehold” chorus came […]

It’s been well over a decade since Avril Lavigne showed off her acting chops as both the punk and preppy girl in her “Girlfriend” music video. And this 2007 release still remains one of mainstream emo’s biggest hits.  Though Lavigne released bangers such as “Complicated” and “Sk8er Boi” early in her career, this The Best […]

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 […]

It’s nearing Halloween, which means it’s time for Hocus Pocus to be a part of our regular weekly viewing from now until Oct. 31.  Hocus Pocus is one of the most classic Halloween films of all time, with every witch looking to channel the Sanderson sisters this time of year.  Read more: 19 scene albums […]

Sleeping With Sirens recently celebrated the seventh anniversary of their third album, Feel, which dropped June 4. “Alone” was the second single released from the record, and it’s been a song we constantly go back to. It doesn’t hurt that Machine Gun Kelly also has a verse on it, so it’s two of our favorite artists […]

2005 was a peak year for the scene, delivering us unforgettable albums from Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, the All-American Rejects and more. The landmark year for music also brought us the first incredible full-length from Paramore, All We Know Is Falling. From first single “Pressure” to the emotionally charged “All We Know,” […]

Fall Out Boy have had a successful near 20 years in the music business with seven albums under their belt. In this span of time, some of their songs still remain a mystery to fans, as the band are famous for deep lyrics that aren’t always pronounced perfectly. In fact, there are whole YouTube videos […]

Have you ever belted out the lyrics to your favorite song only to be corrected by a fellow fan? Sometimes bands hear their own song with misheard lyrics and offer a hilarious correction, such as in the case of blink-182 on “Feeling This.” Don’t worry, everyone does it, including musicians themselves. Even Senses Fail frontman […]

Andrew McMahon is arguably one of the hardest-working musicians in the alternative scene, having started his first successful band Something Corporate in high school. This band delivered such hits as “I Woke Up In A Car” and “Punk Rock Princess” from their major-label record Leaving Through The Window that McMahon still plays during his live […]

Believe it or not, Gym Class Heroes’ big hit featuring Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy came out in 2005. That’s right: “Cupid’s Chokehold / Breakfast In America” from The Papercut Chronicles turns 15 this year. The original music video even featured a young Katy Perry before her global stardom.  This wasn’t the only time […]

The Ready Set, aka singer Jordan Witzigreuter, released his hit single “Love Like Woe” 10 years ago today.  The I’m Alive, I’m Dreaming track’s zombie-themed music video premiered on Myspace the following day and caught lots of attention for the song’s catchy chorus, as well as Pete Wentz’s creepy cameo. TRS even shared a special international […]
