Remember when music videos used to be good? When they used to have a story to tell instead of just scantily clad girls grinding all over sweaty guys? (please, for the sake of mankind, someone tame this girl). Remember when music videos made you want to go jump on your chopper bike and ride through your neighborhood and just sing out all of your angst? oh...was that just me? I went through my phases, like any other kid, and let me tell you, middle school was great. I know, I know, everyone had an "awkward stage." My awkward stage? basically from about 5th grade to junior year of high school. Jealous? In 7th grade I decided to be a complete bad-a and started listening to 94.5. THE BUZZ. I went out, bought myself some black converse, a studded belt, and those awesome black and pink bracelets that apparently meant something naughty. (Which one of my so-called friends introduced me to Hot Topic?) Put these all together with some plaid pants (oh yeah, rocked 'em), those rubber spike earrings, and crank the Good Charlotte and Simple Plan. Voila, 7th grade me.
My fashion sense (or lack thereof) makes me cringe. Also, for some reason I thought wearing hot pink blush as eyeshadow was super edgy. With that said, I am not embarrassed by my middle school music taste. I drove to Florida (and by I, I mean my parents) in 8th grade to see Simple Plan and Good Charlotte and I still maintain that this particular concert was one of the best. So, in honor of my middle school self, here is a sample of one of the classics from my punk glory days (insert sarcasm here).
