10 Songs Every 90s Girl Can Rage-Sing In A Moment's Notice

By Matt |

Puberty hits everybody like a ton of bricks, and nobody moreso than teenage girls. School is a social nightmare when you're trying to figure out who you are as a person, and you have all these FEELINGS!

Chances are, whenever life was getting you down, you went home, turned on one of these 10 songs, and let the tears just flow.

Avril Lavigne - "Complicated"

Seriously, why DID you have to go and make things so complicated? Avril's ode to teenage love and awkwardness was pretty emblematic of everyone's first relationships.

My Chemical Romance - "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)"

The emo phase hit a bunch of teenage girls like a ton of bricks, and this was the song that launched it for a ton of them. Gerard Way just seemed to get you in ways other people didn't.

P!nk - "Just Like A Pill"

P!nk was the epitome of angsty girl pop, and she spoke to every girl who felt different from everybody else (which of course was all of them).

All-American Rejects - "Move Along"

You know that you definitely cried your eyes out to this when your crush went to the dance with some other chick, who you absolutely HATED...

These next few songs just made you feel all the feelings...

Simple Plan - "Welcome To My Life"

The angstiest song ever written, so much so that it's still used as an internet meme for angst, but people didn't care back then.

Natasha Bedingfield - "Unwritten"

I never personally understood why angsty teen girls liked this song so much, but man did they ever.

Evanescence - "My Immortal"

Evanescence was pretty much the go-to teenage angst band if you were anywhere on the goth spectrum, and this piano ballad was pretty much the epitome of it.

Imogen Heap - "Hide and Seek"

We personally blame The O.C. for making this the soundtrack to over-dramatic tragedy, and hearing it nowadays is more unintentionally funny than angsty.

Christina Aguilera - "Beautiful"

Because remember; you are beautiful, no matter what they say. Those words can't bring you down. Right?

Snow Patrol - "Run"

Another one that was absolutely everywhere on TV, this was essentially the main anthem for when you felt super alone.

Which of these songs defined your angsty teen years?

Which Major '80s Event Happened The Year You Were Born?

By Jon
We are all products of our time, and many of us are who we are today because of the environment we grew up in. Which is interesting because we have no memory of the year we were born in. So for all those 80s kids out there, check out the biggest things that came from the decade (besides you)!1980 - Disco's PeakRolling StoneThis was the first, and only year that the award show offered a Grammy for Best Disco Recording.

She's A Little Bit Country, He's A Little Bit Rock & Roll, But What Was Really Going On Behind The Scenes?

By Tanya
Donny and Marie Osmond were the siblings that we all longed to be like. Why couldn't we get along with our brothers and sisters like they did? What was it about this singing and dancing family that just seemed weirdly delightful?  The show only ran for three years, but in that time, they managed to gain an enormous audience. They had both already seen some success in the business, with Donny singing with his brothers in their band The Osmonds, and Marie breaking out on her own topping the charts with "Paper Roses." ABCBut when 18-year-old Donny and his

Ricky Martin Is Back In The Spotlight, But Where Has He Been All These Years?

By Zachary
Lately it seems like Ricky Martin is everywhere, and it's giving us serious '90s nostalgia.Between wedding bells, a role on a hit TV series, and a residency in Las Vegas, we're all livin' la vida loca again. Warner Bros.But we also can't help wondering where he's been for the last decade or so. Martin was one of the most successful musicians on the planet in the early 2000s, but it feels like he dropped off the face of the Earth just a few years later.As it turns out, that's not too far from the truth.Martin (far

Brandy Was A Huge Star In The 90s, But How Has She Kept Her Career Going Since Her Infamous Car Accident?

By Tanya
She became a huge hit when her song "I Wanna Be Down" came out when she was only 15 years old, but it feels like it has been years since we have seen Brandy. The R&B singer found success in not only the music industry, but as an actress as well. Brandy starred in the popular show Moesha, for all six seasons. She made her big screen debut in the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer, and also starred in a made-for-TV version of Cinderella. Columbia PicturesAll the while, her albums were coming out roughly every couple
