I realized I hadn't done a Top Five in quite a while, so here's my Top Five songs for Angsty, Jaded, World-Weary, and above all, Sarcastic Teens:
- Telescope Eyes -Eisley (original edit, if it doesn't make you punch a wall in frustration, you've got the wrong one)
- Learning The Game -Leo Kottke ( Similarly, grown men weep when this song is played. I've seen it.)
- Sudden Death in Carolina -Brand New (not so much sad as a translation of numb fury put into sound-waves, listen to the beat, it just... carries you away, then the lyrics... just...listen.)
- Its Cool, We Can Still Be Friends -Bright Eyes ( The first of two hard Hitters by Bright Eyes, the pain and cold, sickening misery are enough to dwarf any you've experienced before)
- First Day of My Life -Bright Eyes ( The second Bright Eyes masterpiece, required because if any song ever written could lift your spirits after hearing such a profusion of misery and frustration, this is it, the most perfect love song ever conceived of in our generation)
