Beat's recommended playlist for all of your musical needs.
Welcome to the Black Parade
To prepare for this playlist journey back into when I would only wear black and eyeliner was my armor I decided to listen to these albums completely through to get back into what I was feeling at the time. Depending on your mood you can listen to it straight forward and go on the journey with me though I would suggest hitting that shuffle button.

Angst, Angst Baby.
I'm one of "those people" - if you're going to do something, do it right. So before I plunged myself into the responsibilities of adulthood with full force, I made damn sure to live out my teenage years with as much stereotypical, youthful, broody, moody angst as I could muster.

Looking Out the School Bus Window
I was not one of those kids who had good taste in music. In fact, I had awful taste in music. Well, according to all of the other kids. I tended to listen to whatever my parents listened to, and couldn't figure out how all the cool kids found all the cool songs.

Nine Songs Reflecting My Teenage Angst. Top Story - May 2021.
The definition of angst is: “feelings of fear, anxiety, apprehension or insecurity.” At no time in our life do we feel angst perhaps as much as when we were teenagers. Oh, how I remember when I would play a song that “got me” over-and-over while I wallowed in my angst, as a teen! Below are the songs I remember that expressed my teen angst the most:

Music is a Safe Place.
When I was ten years old my mom moved the two of us away from my hometown in Washington to Las Vegas, NV. My older cousin came with us for about a year. We all lived together in my grandma’s house. My cousin and I would sit on the front porch at night talking about silly things like how the mountain in the distance looked like it was pasted on the sky. Similar to how they do it in the movies with their fake backdrops. During one of these conversations that stole us from reality, I was gifted my first Linkin Park cd. I had borrowed Hybrid Theory from him and could not stop listening to it. I carried my portable CD player with me everywhere and would always have the cd playing in my background. Finally, he just told me to keep it.

The Beat of My Teenage Soul
Teen years. The most confusing, angry, and happiest time of my life. My teen years did not consist of parties, sneaking out, and the like. I was a bit of an angry teen, confused and looking for who I was. What got me through these trying times? My music. If my teen years were to have a soundtrack, it would sound mostly like DMX. Then throw some Aaliyah, Missy Elliot, and Usher, Kelly Price, and the list goes on. My jam walking to school in the morning was always filled with the sound of DMX's "It's Dark and Hell is Hot" to get me through the day. Listening to this seemingly confusing mix of music got me through different points of my teen years, and may have helped shape the person I am today. I lived in a dangerous neighborhood as a teen and went to an equally dangerous high school. It was easy to ignore the strange men following you to school with your headphones on, drowning out the constant catcalling. "Ruff Ryders Anthem" helped make me feel as if I was braver than I was when facing the "mean girls" of high school.

I hope that you find this post when you're lonely and in need of a friend. There are so many beautiful ways to express your love for someone. Writing is one of them. There is so much power behind words and I have always loved that. You can gently caress someone with loving words or cut them very deeply.
