Songs From The 2000s That I Refuse To Forget

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UNL chapter.

Ah, the early to mid 2000s. So many emotional rock bands. Let’s take a trip back to middle school!

 

OK Go – Here it Goes Again

This one will put you in a great mood instantly!

 

All-American Rejects – Swing, Swing

Shockingly, the lyrics are NOT “swing swing swing from a tabletop, my heart is crushed by a falling rock.”

 

Fountains of Wayne – Stacy’s Mom

Poor Stacy can’t catch a break.

 

Avril Lavigne – Girlfriend

I distinctly remember whipping my hair to this song in the gym at my school dance. Yikes.

 

M.I.A – Paper Planes

All I wanna do is *gunshot gunshot gunshot cash register noise* and take your money.

 

Jack’s Mannequin – Dark Blue

 The piano in this song is just magical.

 

The Killers – Mr. Brightside

 

Modest Mouse – Float On

Just go with the flow, bro.

 

Yellowcard – Ocean Avenue

A late 2000s love story.

 

The All-American Rejects – Gives You Hell

PSA: don’t sing this song in front of your parents because you might get grounded.

 

Kelly Clarkson – Since U Been Gone

U tell him, Kelly.
