I feel like if your listening to this you’re in your mid to late 20’s and are overcome with nostalgia about simpler times. I’m def here with you guys, much love for the generation who knew how to have fun
Nah, im 18 and on my own wishing i was able to have better times. Wishing for a better past I never had. A future i cant achieve. All i want to do is curl up and listen to music. Wish that'd pay the bills.
I’m just 16 and been kinda down lately. I’m not exactly in a hole hut I’d say I ran too fast and slid down in the mud hella hard. And now I need a moment to lay down before I get back up.
I'm 33 and live in San Diego but this picture and music made me think I had a brief life as a 19 year old driving in a beat up Civic around some Minnesota town with a couple homies smoking cigs.
@@JeremiahFernandez also, if you dig this era of pop punk, emo is really close to it. Some bands mix indie rock/emo/pop punk/hardcore punk. The scene is kinda large, genres blend a bit at the edges.
I graduated in 2012, I feel like I was the perfect age to enjoy this era of pop punk. I remember being 21 and getting to drunk and going crazy at these shows with everyone "woah"ing together, it was awesome.
Took me a second listen to realize they were separate songs. These mixtapes have killer flow; it's a dying art but people like OP are helping to keep it alive!
yo I'm 35 and if you're a teen reading this I promise everything will be ok just go with it the flow breathe and remember : everything goes away with time -good or bad-, so just enjoy the moment ; you're the youngest you'll ever be right now . enjoi
i knew a ton of people in high school who loved pop-punk and i tried so many times to get into it but it never landed with me. years later, i've been getting into it.
i got into pop punk in high school and everyone made fun of me for it. now, those same people listen to it saying it’s a good genre. honey, sit tf down
This mix is awesome man I used to date a cool girl who lived over an hour away and a lot of these tunes would be on my radio on the drives to her house and back
Yo I can’t hear Came Out Swinging without getting goosebumps. I can’t remember the last time I intentionally listened to it but when it comes on I have to just like take five minutes and just feel it.
@Julian Apostata well) i guess it's more about our сommon in many places culture (i guess that's what you meant initially) and i sign under "It's okay to be a loser in the East". you can hate eastern europe as hard as you can but you can never get it out of yourself
@Julian Apostata If you don't mind me asking a question: the stereotype of Poland in the West is that it's extremely conservative and religious. Would you say that the youth there are breaking that stereotype? I never would have imagined emo being accepted in Poland, or even allowable.
@Julian Apostata Thanks for the information! I appreciate hearing your perspective. I'm going to order a copy of Suicide Room too. Great user name by the way!
I think it's kinda funny and wholesome that so many people here are in theire mid - late 20's and still love the music, while theire are still some mid 30s listeners like me who aprreciate that.
this is reminding me that i’m not getting any younger, and my friends have stopped hanging out and everyone is talking about mortgages and careers and shit but i just miss the days of going and sitting on a hill with friends after a house party.
Not sure why this came up on my list as I was never into the emo scene, but I'm all over it! Kinda reminds of a lighter version of Siren Song-era Rise Against, or a less heavy KSE. What a fuckin vibe, cheers bro!
It's a shame that I didn't realize this genre belonged to the songs I've been through my childhood with until now. I'm 26 now, but still miss the old days I used to live with the boys more than a decade ago.
i got progressively more excited when i heard hot mulligan and mom jeans but when origami angel came on i literally screamed this is like the best mixtape all others can go home
Wasn't expecting after the party to be here, but, that's a lovely call. 2017 me would argue that it's the best call in the entirety of this list-without actually listening to the rest before drawing the line. Good stuff
I'm turning 23 this year. It sucks when everything isn't like the way it was before I was 18. I just want to feel happy again, to not feel this existential dread creeping in as I work my ass the entire day, only to feel exhausted and depressed. I was a fool to think that everything will get better after I finish school, turns out I was a delusional to think about that. The old days of being a carefree kid is long gone, and I have to face the future with a sad and borderline suicidal mentality. Getting old sucks. This playlist encompasses that thought.
Head up brother, 23 here. Things could ALWAYS be worse just try to remember that... we’re all connected in some weird way and somehow we meet up here. You’re never alone as cliche as it sounds. We in this feeling and in the shit together 🤙🏾 stay strong brotha
And yet, you'll turn 30 looking back on when you were 23, and so on. Just enjoy yourself man, live in the moment and make the most of your short time here
i really hope u'll get to enjoy life the way u want. remember that one day we're all gonna day, quit ur job if u hate it that much and start looking for better things to do online and gain enough money to survive, explore nature and treat urself well. im 18 and i live in a very toxic environment, im planning to escape tmrw. i wished i had a job and that i lived with the person i love, my parents are my biggest obstacle. if you dont have anyone stopping you PLEASE try to get the best of your life its really worth it trust me
The dudes from hot mulligan gave me and my girlfriend at the time, ex now, free tickets in to a show they were playing at cuz they saw us standing in line. cool guys. That happened right after Fenton came out, real cool to see how much they've blown up now.
Discovered hot mulligan when they opened for senses fail. Another guy from the crowd asked me if I had heard of them and I said no. He said with confidence I was going to like them. He was right. They were awesome.
This picture reminds me of driving along the motorway, a few months ago I was going driving to Liverpool with my dad to pick my Grandma up. we were on the motorway, It was a couple days before Christmas, around 8pm, pitch black and raining so hard we could barely see a metre in front of us. It was a couple days before Christmas, around 8pm, pitch black and raining. We were almost out of petrol and I genuinely thought we were gonna die. Everyone was almost crashing into us. I was fucking terrified. I texted half the people in my contacts just goodbye but in the end in we got though it (obviously) and I couldn't have been happier because just before I left the house, the girl I'd been obsessing over for months agreed to date me (again). That was 3 and a half months ago now and we couldn't be happier, we're engaged and moving in together in a few months. Not long after that I got into a huge argument with my dad and almost killed myself. My parents hid all the knives in the house, took my door off and took all of my wires. But she got me through it, ik she's not gonna be reading this because I never managed to get her into emo but either way, I love you Evie and I hope you know I'd do anything for you
I used to be an EDM guy growing up, started listening to this not too long ago. Can't believe i never believe i never gave this a thought. This would have been a way better youth
opening with "came out swinging" is always a good call
Always.
Favourite wonder years era
Vocalist kinda reminds me of Pat Stump too.
It starts just like Ready to Fall, from Rise Against. I was not watching the screen so I got confused by the intro going on that long...
Coming out swinging baby!

@@TheRyanH. fuck man what’s up
Damn this makes me miss all the house parties I wasn't cool enough to get invited to
Ouch. This comment hurt, cause it's relatable.
I'm still not...
There's literally ONE house "party" that I have participated and It was my friend's send-off to army.
@@last-dinosaur ive only been to one and I had to be there because it was being thrown by my roomate in my house, it ws fun tho
Same. Saaaame.
Your time will come mate.
I'm 33 and live in San Diego but this picture and music made me think I had a brief life as a 19 year old driving in a beat up Civic around some Minnesota town with a couple homies smoking cigs.
Don't know a single band from the playlist, yet they all sound so nostalgic. The true essence of 90s-00s pop punk
a lot of 3rd/4th wave pop punk. the only generation of pop punk I can truly identify with
@@JeremiahFernandez also, if you dig this era of pop punk, emo is really close to it. Some bands mix indie rock/emo/pop punk/hardcore punk. The scene is kinda large, genres blend a bit at the edges.
Most of the bands on here are 2010s pop punk lmao
This is all 2010s Midwest emo except like 2 songs.
I graduated in 2012, I feel like I was the perfect age to enjoy this era of pop punk. I remember being 21 and getting to drunk and going crazy at these shows with everyone "woah"ing together, it was awesome.
Everyone else here in their mid-to-late 20s: * N o s t a l g i a *
20 year old me: *Sweats nervously*
laughs in teenage years
same brother
34 year old me*
15 year old me*
4 real
The transition from the first song to the other was good
Took me a second listen to realize they were separate songs. These mixtapes have killer flow; it's a dying art but people like OP are helping to keep it alive!
These hit different when you're crying into a pillow while listening to them
Hope you're doing a little better 5 days later dude 👌 from a rando on the internet
I get what you mean. Playing this after drinking an entire bottle,
Makes me realize. A life I’ll never have. Sleep and dreams are the consolation
yo I'm 35 and if you're a teen reading this I promise everything will be ok just go with it the flow breathe and remember : everything goes away with time -good or bad-, so just enjoy the moment ; you're the youngest you'll ever be right now . enjoi
If you’re here, you’re cool as hell :)
Hi u should look up this song > Time by The Impures
Really dope :)
This is pretty fire gotta love the philly scene
Amen brother
I’m a part of it! Check out the band Estrogents if you have a chance man
Im in philly, don’t know anyone that listens to stuff like this :/
I miss depressing, dirty, and degenerate Philly
@@denydrawn me
Hell yeah fellow similarly aged people! This is music from our childhoods alright!

i felt this
the aesthetic is fineeee
looking out your windshield? alright.... i like chilis and chevron, too.
Found this in my recommendations and the first song just set the tone for one kick ass playlist!!!
thanks. it’s one of my favorite songs from The Wonder Years
@@grayskies same
Hello from Russia, we feel this, thanks you author and bands p.s. sorry for my English

So glad to see hot mulligan in this. Every time I hear one of their songs I feel like reminiscing with the boys
perfect song to start with.
CAUSE ITS HARD TO ATTRACT UUU
the wonder years are amazing homie
It's so relevant to the pandemic too. I love and hate it.
@@unoriginal_name7091 Pff, as if the pandemic has ever affected me. I hadn't gone out for months even prior to the pandemic.

Any transition to half-time drums and I'm sold
This brings me back to my college days in Philly and I am here for it.
Nobody cares
i didnt searched for it but youtube did a really good job recomending this one. Thanks for uploading!
love some origami angel/ tiny moving parts
40...
This hits hard.
This playlist got me into midwest emo, thanks so much dude
These songs remind me a simpler time of skinny jeans, Vans, band tees and girls with bangs that cover one eye.
those girls were boys
@@theskits well for your gay childhood. And i have to say what an odd way to tell the world that you got tricked by a transgender.
Duuuude where are all the scene chicks now?!
Fucking A! Being in high school in the mid to late 2000s was ALL about emo girls with bangs that cover one eye! LOL
@@JAKEYSPOOK They saw Ramona Flowers and felt empowered
After the party is like the epitome of the name of this playlist for me
This does remind me of the backyard punk shows I've been to. I like it.
I have listened to this mix at least three times a day since I've found it. It is.. so good. I love it!
i got progressively more excited when i heard hot mulligan and mom jeans but when origami angel came on i literally screamed this is like the best mixtape all others can go home
Woah this is killer! 😮 Great playlist thank you!
Wasn't expecting after the party to be here, but, that's a lovely call. 2017 me would argue that it's the best call in the entirety of this list-without actually listening to the rest before drawing the line. Good stuff
Lotta bangers on this compilation 👌
This is defitinely, the best MidWest mixtape ive heard.
(Stimpys voice:joyyyyyyyy!) Wish I could like this twice. W/o question my favorite mix now. Keep it up homie
2000s. I miss those days. Except for all those things that happened to me, leaving me shattered.
Thanks for showing me Knuckle Puck & Hot Mulligan. I kinda stopped finding new artists in 2003 :o
It's cold and windy and almost the middle of October. Time for emo music again.
I'm from a small dwindling coal town in southern illnois and this hits home
Same but from Ky
Same here, man. Small town in IL
for anyone who likes screamo, touche amore is very awesome. i’ve listened to them since they started at where i live
Im using this as a skate playlist, thank you and keep rocking on everyone :)
Thank you for the playlist bro! , man i really enjoyed that! :D
Driving different states with these genre thank you for this video
after the rona is over i will host my first ever houseparty and i will play this exact playlist. Thank you this is a masterpiece!
Nobody cares
@@summerwall.6634 thank you for your constructive criticism! I will work on it ;) have a great day!
@@barleschukowski9617 didn’t ask
@@summerwall.6634 i didnt either for your comment but thats how it is sometimes ;)
@@barleschukowski9617 cry for daddy
OMG! I love all of your playlists gray skies!! But this one had all my favorite songs!! Keep up the beautiful mixtapes!!
glad that you enjoy them. I made this one myself :)
This is honestly the best midwest emo mixtape ever
Belmonts been showing up for me a bunch lately
They are the one band that showed me this wasn't dead. Made my day when I noticed.
I put this on assuming I didn't know any midwest pop punk and then knew most of these bands. Awesome selection of songs 👌
Damn! You're playlist literally makes me cry.
But is this the 288/ 35 intersection in Denton, tx? Didn't expect to actually see my old hometown🤣
Holy smokes, what an amazing mix.
It's good to see you again pal, thanks
This just makes me want to grab my skateboard and go cruise
7 months on and I'm still cruising.
What about using blade skates but with some motor power thing so that you can move faster, equilavent to a car or motorcycle, to cruise places
Literally my favorite mixtape-
One of my first concerts was polar bear club, wonder years and the story so far. Stage dove until I was drenched in sweat.
Honestly my favorite of all the Midwest emo sets
Thanks, man. I've literally never heard any of these songs but somehow they all feel familiar.
back at it again, ✨ya mad lad✨
thanks dude

you aren't the only one. 🥲
Same, my city's youth likes either shitty dance tracks or gritty grime mixtapes
aww pooooor you
Ill be your friend hommie. Spread love.
That damn small town… another victim.
Came out swinging is my life anthem :(
Hi u should look up this song > Time by The Impures
Really dope :)
One of the best playlists ever assembled tbh
PLEASE do more like this :(
Lol that first track is hitting different
Thank you for making this
Back at it again I see!
turning 29 soon and this is great but idk if it helps or if it makes me hate myself more so thanks i guess
Thank you for showing me The Menzingers.

thank you for providing the vibes once again
Love the bass lines from Hot Mulligan. Verse 2 bass entry in 2nd song is soo sick. Yeww sick playlist.
The chilis in the artwork is perfect Midwest
the vibes are impeccable
One of the better mixes out there. Good shit 👍
great picks! love the playlist!
Some really good songs on this good stuff.
So glad I found this and the chill hop playlists
What a great little playlist
I used to be an EDM guy growing up, started listening to this not too long ago. Can't believe i never believe i never gave this a thought. This would have been a way better youth
It was, i grew up around a lot of music and i had the most fun in punk/hip hop. They really are just built different.
The grass is always greener on the other side. Rave kids had just as much fun as the scene kids.
Very talented artists here!🤘👏
Great playlist man!
I’ve made it on to the best side of RUclips
Damn I’ve never heard that first song but I’m on board for that shit 7 days a week. Never even heard of the band. Solid.
Man great song great band! I recommend you give their whole discography a spin!
We'll never have times like we did when we were younger
cool mix
So much nostalgia.
This is really good
Awesome mixtape
origami angel :>
I'm 13 seconds in and loving it already.
Yeah!! Dope playlist!
