Diving into the "teen angst" playlist feels like a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of teenage rebellion and confusion. Kicking off with tracks like "Candy Coated Lie$" by Hot Milk and "parents" by YUNGBLUD, it's clear this playlist doesn't hold back on exploring the grittier side of youth. The inclusion of classics like "Just A Girl" by No Doubt and "Cherry Bomb" by The Runaways, alongside newer anthems like "brutal" by Olivia Rodrigo and "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" by My Chemical Romance, showcases a timeless aspect of teenage disarray across generations.

With a mix of punk, rock, emo, and a touch of pop, the playlist captures a wide range of emotions, from the anger and frustration found in "Break Stuff" by Limp Bizkit to the introspective and sometimes melancholic tones of "Creep" by Radiohead and "please put me in a medically induced coma" by carolesdaughter. The raw energy of "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance and "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus offers a relatable vibe, while the defiant spirit in "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts serves as a reminder of the rebellious core at the heart of teen angst. Whether it’s the desire to escape depicted in "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard or the depth of personal battles shown in "Misery Business" by Paramore, each track contributes to the narrative of navigating the turbulent teen years.
