Run Oregon Tunes: My high school playlist (2000-2002)
But if you looked at the music I was listening to at that time, you would get an entirely different picture of me. I would appear angst-ridden, depressed, and genuinely unhappy – all of which could not have been further from the truth. I know grunge died before my highschool years, but the bands I listened to were sort of the off-shoots from mid-90’s bands of Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Jane’s Addiction.
All of the bands on this playlist are from my 10th-12th grade years of 2000-2002. As I was making this playlist, I found I could literally sing 90%+ of all the words in these songs even though it has been 10+ years since I have listened to some of these. They are not the best songs in the world (some are downright bad), but they do hold a special spot in my heart – a link to youthfulness as I now tredge through my 30th year of life and listen to MUCH better music.
