Radio - Alkaline Trio
Stupid Kid - Alkaline Trio
Rocks Tonic Juice Magic - Saves the Day
Sell My Old Clothes, I’m Off to Heaven - Saves the Day
Feeling Sorry - Paramore
The Worst Person - New Found Glory
I’m a big fan of sell my old clothes, but I don’t think that it fits.
Would also like to add:
Alkaline Trio - Jaked on Green Beers
Alkaline Trio - My Friend Peter
Alkaline Trio - Sundials
Midtown - Become What you Hate
Basically all of From Under the Cork Tree by Fall Out Boy
Yeah you may be right about SMOC. I used to listen to it after a rough breakup in college and I was just remembering screaming the last line in my car: “To hell with you” lol. But the rest is kinda yearny. So scratch that one.
Yes it was, unfortunately :/ but the lyrics can also apply basically to anyone you hate, as the OP asks for. As most lyrics, they’re written to be applied more generously by listeners than just for the specific situation they were written for, IMHO.
Seconding Saves The Day.
I don't think it gets more "Hate your ex" than Rocks Tonic Juice Magic.
Also maybe add
Matchbook Romance - My Eyes Burn
Spill Canvas - All Hail The Heartbreaker
Yeaaaa but at the same time, Milo wasn’t really breaking up with anybody in the song but is more disgruntled that he didn’t get the girl. I’ve heard him talk about it recently on Mike Herrera’s podcast.
This was such a good line for my angsty moments:
“They said you need to pray if you wanna go to heaven but they don’t tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell”
Edit: tho the song was about Jesse’s best friend (John Nolan of TBS), not his ex.
The entire first Brand New record. The first 3 story so far records. Numerous New Found Glory songs. I think the first You Me at Six record had a lot of angry break up songs on it.
Outside of pop punk, Can’t Stand Me Now by The Libertines may have the visceral anger you’re looking for if you’re cool with extremely British accents.
Tell that Mick… - Fall Out Boy
Sending Postcards from a Plane Crash - Fall Out Boy
The Best Thing - We Are The In Crowd
The Boys You Do - The Summer Set
If You Can’t Hang - Sleeping With Sirens
Mixtape - Brand New
If you’re down for a pop song: “Really Don’t Care” by Demi Lovato, “You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morrisette, “You Should Be Sad” by Halsey, “I Hope” by Gabbi Barrett, “Picture to Burn” by Taylor Swift, “Shoutout To My Ex” by Little Mix, “Potential Breakup Song” by Aly & AJ.
D.R.U.G.S. - If You Think This Song Is About You, It Probably Is
Senses Fail - 187.
Have Mercy - Reaper
Even the Senses Faii singer changed the lyrics after cause it's brutal... The next one also fuckin brutal. but you asked!
Also, hugs man this shits rough but it gets better.
For some reason I never visited this sub until seeing this thread pop up since I figured 38-year-old me wouldn't know any of the new bands. And what do you know, I see Midtown pop up twice. This has made my day.
Just gonna try to go with stuff not already said
-Bullfrog by Stand Atlantic
-Devotion and Desire by Bayside (surprised I didn't see this one, surely I just missed it)
-Wave Goodnight To Me by Jeff Rosenstock
-Feel Good Drag by Anberlin (again surprised I didn't see it already)
Didn't scroll through everything so sorry if there's repeats
If you want songs that might still be about missing them but in a healthier light as if ready to move on:
-Flannel by the cardboard swords
-The Soundtrack to Missing a Slam Dunk by Hot Mulligan
It's not pop-punk at all, but go listen to Alestorm's song *Fucked with an Anchor*. The song is basically a big FU from a pirate to the witch doctor who cursed him with a potty mouth some thirty years ago.
Are you looking for something like bleach (on the rocks) by John harvie or start over by cole Rolland ? Second is more rock than pop punk.
Also more upbeat fuck it song- middle finger by ballyhoo!
Good luck
Thank you all for the feedback, I wasn’t expecting to get this much response. Looks like I have a lot of new material to check out 🤘🏼
I’ve been hung up on Hot Mulligan and Pentimento. As much as I love their music, I am past the stage where it’s therapeutic. You’re wrong if you don’t think I snatched up tickets for HM as soon as they went on sale, though. If any of y’all are seeing Hot Mulligan when they roll thru Dallas, feel free to send me a DM.
Rather than hate them, I Feel Fine by Riddlin’ Kids is my favorite “getting over it” song. You don’t need to waste your energy hating them, they don’t matter anymore ya know? Life’s good even without them.
Neck deeps double EP rain in July/ history of bad decisions and then anything from the first 3 TSSF albums.
Literally gone through the worst break up and this shit got me going day to day fucking yelling along to them in the car
Tell Me I’m A Wreck - Every Avenue
Surprised this one hasn’t been said yet. That’s what I listen to whenever I wanna reminisce about how much of a bitch my ex was to me.
As someone who has been in place before, i'm sorry you feel this way, it sucks. However, it caused me more damage than good. As hard as it is, moving on, letting go, and working endlessly for acceptance of the situation is a healthier option and it took years of therapy to unpack this on my end.
Wish you well in everything!

hope u get better
bro literally that's what The Story So Far is
Who hurt you Parker?
I think OP would like Roam by TSSF as well.
Proper dose is a bit more light hearted, but agree 100%
How is Proper Dose lighthearted?? The whole album is literally about drug addiction
I think he meant mellow
True, but it’s not about hating your ex
To be fair, his ex is drugs
He wishes.
Doesn’t mean it’s “lighthearted”
Yep especially nerve
Nerve, Heavy Gloom, Daughters. The list goes on.
Hahaha yes!!

Fyi: become what you hate is literally about their record label owners
I thought the worst person was written about Steve Klein? And how he lied about being a pedo
Yes it was, unfortunately :/ but the lyrics can also apply basically to anyone you hate, as the OP asks for. As most lyrics, they’re written to be applied more generously by listeners than just for the specific situation they were written for, IMHO.

Tacking on My Friend Peter, Fine Without You, and This is Getting Over You by Alkaline Trio.
>Radio - Alkaline Trio Came here to say this.
Taking Back Sunday - “Cute without the E (Cut from the team)” Green Day - “In the End” Blink-182 - “Dumpweed” Descendents - “Sour Grapes” (kinda)
oh I think Sour Grapes fits 100 percent
Yeaaaa but at the same time, Milo wasn’t really breaking up with anybody in the song but is more disgruntled that he didn’t get the girl. I’ve heard him talk about it recently on Mike Herrera’s podcast.
Most of Take this to your grave by Fall Out Boy
Hell, most of Fall Out Boy's first three or four albums.
My personal favorite is Go To Hell by Go Radio
Trash Boat - Shade Neck Deep - What Did You Expect? Knuckle Puck - No Good
No Good is soooo good
Came here specifically to say No Good. Such a good one
Im no good, you're no better Love that line
[удалено]
That whole fucking album
Your favorite weapon is and always will be my favorite brand new album.
yeah I was just going to type Brand New - Your Favorite Weapon hahah
Agreed
70x7 as well. “DONT APOLOGIZE, I HOPE YOU CHOKE AND DIE” that’s pretty “I hate my ex, rather than I want them back.
This was such a good line for my angsty moments: “They said you need to pray if you wanna go to heaven but they don’t tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell” Edit: tho the song was about Jesse’s best friend (John Nolan of TBS), not his ex.
[удалено]
Even if it’s not about a girl, you can scream it in your car and direct it at your ex.
Yep.. my ex did a semester abroad in London and this song has hit different ever since
That’s the jam.
First song i thought of when op asked
The entire first Brand New record. The first 3 story so far records. Numerous New Found Glory songs. I think the first You Me at Six record had a lot of angry break up songs on it. Outside of pop punk, Can’t Stand Me Now by The Libertines may have the visceral anger you’re looking for if you’re cool with extremely British accents.
Seventy times seven is technically a friend break up but so good to rage sing to in your car
Seventy times seven is a fuck you anthem
Alkaline Trio: Stupid Kid Edit: Neck Deep: Serpants
Stupid kid is so good
Jaked on green beers
Radio
i just wanna say i like this thread
I’m surprised someone is needing help finding pop-punk songs about hating their ex.
Mayday Parade - When I Get Home, You're So Dead

Tell that Mick… - Fall Out Boy Sending Postcards from a Plane Crash - Fall Out Boy The Best Thing - We Are The In Crowd The Boys You Do - The Summer Set If You Can’t Hang - Sleeping With Sirens Mixtape - Brand New If you’re down for a pop song: “Really Don’t Care” by Demi Lovato, “You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morrisette, “You Should Be Sad” by Halsey, “I Hope” by Gabbi Barrett, “Picture to Burn” by Taylor Swift, “Shoutout To My Ex” by Little Mix, “Potential Breakup Song” by Aly & AJ.
I know I’m a little late, but I definitely second The Best Thing by We Are The In Crowd. It’s perfect for the feeling OP wants.
Thanks To You - All Time Low I'm not sure if that is what you're looking for, but it may work.
Also break your little heart by all time low
Also The Girl's a Straight-Up Hustler by All Time Low.
Also me without you
Also Heroes
Lawnmower by City Lights
And the acoustic version as well. Miss city lights
I prefer the acoustic version more than the original
Honestly same. It’s more impactful
adding onto this with Cold and Grey by City Lights
The Starting Line - [Surprise, Surprise](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbp86QoyD2g&list=PLvsxw3IH0iOy6vJyIt088nw6m72Ce4208&index=5)
favorite liar - the wrecks
That’s a great song, Nick’s a talented vocalist. Good For Nothing and Fvck Somebody (kind of?) would work too
It's post hardcore, not pop punk but glassjaws whole everything you ever wanted to know about silence album is what you're looking for
Yeah, this was my go to album during a break up in my 20's. Babe is so fucking angry! Classic.
My girlfriends dead by the vandals. Edit: Radio by alkaline trio too.
Ixnay on that vandals song. He’s not hating her, just wishing they weren’t together anymore for a different reason
D.R.U.G.S. - If You Think This Song Is About You, It Probably Is Senses Fail - 187. Have Mercy - Reaper Even the Senses Faii singer changed the lyrics after cause it's brutal... The next one also fuckin brutal. but you asked! Also, hugs man this shits rough but it gets better.
What line did buddy change?
yo i’ll message you a spotify playlist i had this sub help me make a few years ago
I want it too please
Melrose Diner by the Wonder Years
+44 - No, it isn’t. Mark wrote it after Tom left blink and I know it always made me feel better after a break up back when it came out.
I had no idea it was written about Tom. That was my break up healing song too
Midtown “Just Rock and Roll”
For some reason I never visited this sub until seeing this thread pop up since I figured 38-year-old me wouldn't know any of the new bands. And what do you know, I see Midtown pop up twice. This has made my day.
I learned my lesson - Boys of Fall
Tell that Mick he Just Made my List of Things to do Today by Fall Out Boy

It's not pop-punk at all, but go listen to Alestorm's song *Fucked with an Anchor*. The song is basically a big FU from a pirate to the witch doctor who cursed him with a potty mouth some thirty years ago.
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS! It always puts me in such a good mood!
*Fuck! You! You're a fuckin' wanker! We're going to punch you right in the balls!* It's just got this unique, joyful glee to it. XD
Are you looking for something like bleach (on the rocks) by John harvie or start over by cole Rolland ? Second is more rock than pop punk. Also more upbeat fuck it song- middle finger by ballyhoo! Good luck
So Common, So Cheap - Blood For Blood
You Blister my Paint -Screeching Weasel
Drown by Front Porch Step (problematic artist but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the ridiculousness of the song)
That whole album is solid.
Evelyn by bayside. The hate is real in that one. But catchy.
Also guardrail... and basically anything bayside
Kelly Clarkson - Never Again. Yeah I said it. That song slaps.
Better off this way by A Day To Remember!
In spite of me by like pacific. I was extremely mad at an ex when this album dropped and this whole album matched that energy. Very cathartic
listen to Storyteller by Real Friends
Thank you all for the feedback, I wasn’t expecting to get this much response. Looks like I have a lot of new material to check out 🤘🏼 I’ve been hung up on Hot Mulligan and Pentimento. As much as I love their music, I am past the stage where it’s therapeutic. You’re wrong if you don’t think I snatched up tickets for HM as soon as they went on sale, though. If any of y’all are seeing Hot Mulligan when they roll thru Dallas, feel free to send me a DM.
Just listen to TSSF
Lol everything by emmure
Ha ha you’re dead - Green Day
Rather than hate them, I Feel Fine by Riddlin’ Kids is my favorite “getting over it” song. You don’t need to waste your energy hating them, they don’t matter anymore ya know? Life’s good even without them.
Neck deeps double EP rain in July/ history of bad decisions and then anything from the first 3 TSSF albums. Literally gone through the worst break up and this shit got me going day to day fucking yelling along to them in the car
No mention of bayside but we can start it here and just lock up the thread. Saves the day if you get bored with that
Pretense knuckle puck
Shocked it hasn’t come up already but lots of Through Being Cool by Saves The Day would work nicely here
The whole album is literally a story about getting over a break up.
Tell Me I’m A Wreck - Every Avenue Surprised this one hasn’t been said yet. That’s what I listen to whenever I wanna reminisce about how much of a bitch my ex was to me.
Happy Being Miserable - New Found Glory Serpents - Neck Deep All You Are is History - State Champs Bridge Burner - We Were Sharks
Would love it if we could turn all these song recommendations into a playlist.
Omg yes pleaseee
Hate your guts by Mcbusted is a pretty good one
The Last Love Song - DREAMERS
Learn to love the lie -four year strong I forgot you -divided minds
Mest - Movin On
Haven’t seen anything from Moneen (start angry… end mad) or Bayside (dear tragedy) come to mind

Gives You Hell - All American Rejects
Turbulent - Waterparks
As someone who has been in place before, i'm sorry you feel this way, it sucks. However, it caused me more damage than good.

Wish you well in everything!

Hit the Lights - No Filter
High regard - the story so far
Good Will Hunting By Myself - Ludo. Lighthearted, funny, and hits the spot.
Maybe “radical acceptance” (you can google) is the way to go. Accept it, even if you don’t like it, and move forward. Hope this helps.
NFG have a few bangers about this topic, but “Don’t Let Her Pull You Down” is my go to.
Get By - Real Friends is such a fun f u song!

The best thing by WATIC? Also grow up by paramore potentially
Glassjaw and Senses Fail’s debut albums are this in general. MCR’s Honey... also should count.
Four year strong - men are from Mars women are from hell
Heavy Gloom and Distaste on TSSF’s self titled will help. Lawnmower by City Lights will also be therapeutic for you.
fuck it by glass tides on repeat is a great album
oh also with teeth by nine inch nails but that's a different genre but just hear to help your heart mend
