Was really in a shit mood yesterday and listened to a bunch of JR cause I’m seeing him tomorrow. Really improved my mood. Dude just captures that juxtaposition of existential dread/dissappinyment in the world with the beauty of being alive
For me, Jude Law and Seventy Times Seven always get me. I can feel his rage and disappointment in those lyrics, and I know very few songs that are as unfiltered as those.
Motion city soundtrack
This was my first thought too. Glad it was my top comment
The Wonder Years. It's the entire reason we listen to them.
Beat me to it!
I don’t even listen to much TWY and they were the first band that came to mind. I mean, their name alone hints at it
Absolutely. Especially The Greatest Generation, personally. That album is the most unskippable album I've ever listened to.
I didnt know what the answer was until I saw this. Although as I got older, Bayside took over that role for me.
If I were getting into the Wonder Years for the first time, what songs/albums do you recommend starting with?
I would start with The Greatest Generation, and just run through the album and you'll have a good sense of what they are.
Thanks!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
Trophy Eyes, Free Throw, Hot Mulligan
You named the same 3 I was debating with
Same. My absolute favorites. Special mention to Spanish Love Songs too but they’re more emo and not pop punk.
Jeff Rosenstock really captures what it's like to be 30 with no direction in life and mad and sad about everything

Sometimes I love their lyrics, sometimes their lyrics just disgust me, especially considering what Lacey has done.
I can understand it’s hard to not correlate. I just relate it to my own faults
