My teenage years playlist
All of us who are adults had to pass through what our parents dreaded called the teen years. When we became parents we all dreaded to see those years as well. Every generation has their own history, and music is no different. My parents had music from the 1950's, as a young boy I was able to enjoy music from there decades, the 50's,60's and 70's not that the 80's was bad but I was no longer a teenager. I don't know what happened to music after the 1980's because it became more vulgar, sexualized, and violent.

My Teen Angst Playlist
My Teen Angst Playlist Or the songs that got me through it By James Allen Lancaster, California. The 1980’s. The 1970’s had just rolled out, but by the time I got to the age where I was really listening to music, the 80’s were well underway and Punk Rock had already seen its heyday. Post-Punk and Goth were taking hold and New Wave and Heavy Metal were still duking it out with Motown and “Rhythm and Blues” for the most attention. That meant that bands like Duran Duran were often seen on MTV, right along with Poison and Michael Jackson in-between the endlessly overplayed stuff like Hall and Oates, Phil Collins and Bette Midler. In that mess, I was a young, angsty teen from nowhere, trying to figure myself out. Here are some of the songs that helped me do just that:

Songs That Helped Make High school Less Awful
Whoever said high school was the best four years of your life clearly didn't actually go to high school. Spending four years stuck with the same judgmental teens is not my idea of a fun time, as I am sure is the case with most others as well.

Move Along: 10 Essential Angsty Teen Songs of the Mid-2000's
Ah. 2006ish-2011. The golden days of high school bliss, where our biggest worry was our next AP Government test and what color we were going to force our date to purchase a matching vest in for junior prom. These were the days of laying out by the neighborhood pool, eagerly waiting for square-pizza day in the school cafeteria, and sneaking out to hang with my best friends after hours only to realize we had nowhere to go.

Lonely Days
Like all teens I had my good days and my bad days. Being diagnosed with severe depression after having multiple friends and family pass, not having much of a relationship with my immediate family, feeling left out and distant; I had to find some way to cope. While yes, I do have music that I listened to when I was upset, I never really had much of a set genre that I listened to. My tastes ranged for different reasons. Being a very sentimental person and often being interested in things before my time, my playlists were very strange to people around my age. But still, I hope that someone can find it comforting.

X's Angst
Even though the media has decided to ignore us you have to admit that Gen X in the 80's and early 90's Teen Angst(ed) it like no generation before or since. "Really?", you say. Yes, really. The 80's gave birth to the American Hardcore Punk Scene, both Speed and Thrash Metal, as well as Gangster Rap.
