People forget the message of the song though.. teenagers these days wanting to grow up so fast to start drinking, move out etc...but they don't realized that their teen years are the best years, after that you are slave to your job and a million other things.. enjoy your youth while u can cause u will have your whole life to be adult.
Yeah, but being an adult doesn't mean you can't still have a young heart and really enjoy life. So many people say adults are slaves to their job etc... Why don't all youth realize they can make life as wonderful as it was when young? Yes, more obligations as an adult, but society and the world doesn't need anymore drones, we need people who know that life is amazing and wonderful. And each day we wake up is a day to celebrate living. Namaste friends. (I'm an adult and I live by this)
+Richie Bustamante Thanks. I'm going to run away from home and go on a road trip throughout America and live in my car. I have my whole life to go to school and work.
Everyone should listen to Bonnie McKee's music. She's an amazing artist an deserve more attention that she's receiving know. People are losting something big here
I tried to, but honestly i hate the lyrics with the video. In the lyrics she made reference to a pure cute youth, but with the video is not necessary be intelligent to know what gross type of youth she's talking about.

Omfg I remember when I listened to American Girl for the first time, and I can't believe she is not on top of Billboard, seriously. She deserves more recognize, her music is so good and fun. I can easily imagine myself driving a car and listening to Wasted Youth, while the wind blows into my hair...
I remember hearing American girl for the first time on the radio, I almost thought it had to be Katy Perry because of how dang similar the writing was (found out the reason for that later haha) But i knew it couldn't have been Katy, no offense I love Katy but she absolutely CANT belt it out the way Bonnie does!!!
+Tom Froger Bonnie is so Underrated its ridiculous how she doesn't even have a fucking Grammy... Like, it makes me mad. She writes HALF of the records Katy Perry sings and NOT ONCE does she get the recognition she deserves. Seriously. The academy needs to rethink their priorities. Bonnie McKee is a true talent. I am happy that she is making music for her real fans, but like The Pretty Reckless, I feel like the WORLD needs to hear this. They need to listen to her music and lyrics and understand that she is something worth considering for an award.
+Tom Froger Sorry if I confused you by bringing in The Pretty Reckless,it was a comparison, TPR is an amazing band that I FEEL deserves a lot more recognition they deserve. If that makes any sense. Anyways, I agree to your comment to the FULLEST!
Love this song, one of a few that I can always put on to feel better or happy. Couldn't tell you why it has that effect but she is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists
Bonnie just started this year off with an incredible video and song! This is amazing and she really is so underrated. I've been a fan since her Trouble album, and have followed her throughout her career. I'm loving this direction she's gone in the past few years. She deserves the fame Katy has, because if I can be honest she's way better. Bonnie is a musical genius and is truly one in million. I hope someday soon more people find out about her! 😍😙💜🎶
Well maybe if she stopped actting like shes in a mid-life crisis when she's only in her early 30s for most of her songs she puts out then maybe she would get regonized. She just tries to hard for some reason. Shell be forgotten about in 3 years though
Bombastic is easily the best EP released in 2015. Bonnie deserves so much more recognition for what she is putting out, its so different from all this mainstream pop going around.
I know all these comments about, "I came here from blach blach blah," can be tiring, but I watched a fan video for the second demo of, "this is what makes us girls," and they used a bunch of clips from this video (but I had no idea where they were from). So glad I finally found it!
I'm almost 45 and I wanted to grow up as fast as I could. I got married at 19. This song makes me wish that I had done it all differently. Melancholy nostalgia.
They say youth is wasted wasted on the young So then tell me, why are we having so much fun? All the midnight dreamers falling into love In our torn up sneakers, yeah, we were born to run So I'm begging you Hold on, hold on To your wasted youth Hang on, hang on Cause it's going so soon So let's get it while we're young (We're wasted youth) Yeah, we're bored and jaded Sharing bubblegum But these nights are sacred There's freedom in our blood So I'm begging you Hold on, hold on To your wasted youth (We're diamonds in the rough) Hang on, hang on Cause it's going so soon (Let's get it while we're young) And shine on, cause we'll never be the same We'll never be the same (You know you know the truth) Hold on, hold on To your wasted youth Let's get it while we're young Let's get it while we're young Let's go Let's get stupid right now Get to fooling around Jump in the pool with you clothes on Sleep with your shoes and on the futon Time we got is right now so we're making it count Roll down the windows and scream it Let's get it while we're young Hold on, hold on To your wasted youth (We're diamonds in the rough) Hang on, hang on Cause it's going so soon (Let's get it while we're young) And shine on, cause we'll never be the same We'll never be the same (You know you know the truth) Hold on, hold on To your wasted youth Let's get it while we're young Ah, ah, ah, ah We're wasted Let's get it while we're young Ah, ah, ah, ah Let's get it while we're young Yeah Let's get it while we're young Ah, ah, ah, ah We're wasted, we're wasted Ah, ah, ah, ah We're wasted, we're wasted Ah, ah, ah, ah We're wasted, we're wasted
+Guss Oliveira False, Grammy wins do not count towards an artist alone, it also counts towards the tallies of songwriters & producers. So, if Bonnie wrote a song - either alone, or with others - and it wins a Grammy....then that Grammy win will also count as hers, but in the "Songwriting" category. If a song she performs herself was to win a Grammy, then she would receive the tally under the "Performer" category. You are very wrong in what you have said.
Yeah Ryan William Bonnie was nominated for Song of the Year. She was songwriter. If Katy would won the award for 'Best Pop Vocal Performance' for Roar, Bonnie wouldn't won.

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. I'm more of a "Trouble" era fan of hers but I'm sure these new songs will grow on me quite well too. I think she might be a bit of a pop music genius.
This is so good, the colors & pieces used make the video look like a cute photoshoot. Love Bonnie, This video was worth wait. Pls I Want It All & Easy next!
This song just makes me want to go out and live my life to the fullest & I think I'm going to do just that tonight thanks for the inspirational video Bonnie Mckee

dude she never says that. She is actually saying that is OK to do that, and it's sad

yeah she has amazing songs, i dont know either why she doesn't have more subscribers or recognision....

Anzy they already do they just don't know she's the one writing all the songs lool
Bonnie sure has a thing for the 80's
+Blair Clarke that's what makes her so good!
And Humor, and Glitter, and rainbowy teeny boppy jazz, XD I LOVE HER MUSIC!!!!!
+Blair Clarke Probably because she was born in the 80's. She's 32. :)

+Tom Froger Because she gives the best songs to Katy Perry, that's why.
this song just make me wanna cry so hard… thank you, Bonnie, for being such an artistas and inspiration to all of us ❤
Her aesthetic is everything

HipstahYogurt # maybe youth aesthetic 😀
HipstahYogurt # 90s???

Bonnie's voice is amazing
Love this song, one of a few that I can always put on to feel better or happy. Couldn't tell you why it has that effect but she is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists
You deserve a grammy, i really love this song!

Love this song! Just wish Bonnie would put out a full album, her music is so kooky and fun :)
Bombastic is easily the best EP released in 2015. Bonnie deserves so much more recognition for what she is putting out, its so different from all this mainstream pop going around.
Being a teen doesn't mean to smoke, drink, or do drugs, it means to be a young, wild, free kid who embraces madness and life in unison and harmony!
my aesthetic. I'm so in love.
Amazing! Love you Bonnie! Your lyrics are always so awesome ♡
this is so incredible
She is so incredible! Please support this artist in any way you can:)
Honestly one of my favorite artists
I know all these comments about, "I came here from blach blach blah," can be tiring, but I watched a fan video for the second demo of, "this is what makes us girls," and they used a bunch of clips from this video (but I had no idea where they were from). So glad I finally found it!
What a song! And she's a great artist x
Miles ahead of what's in heavy rotation on pop radio right now.
I'm obsessed with the filming style and aesthetic of her videos. SHE NEEDS A HIT GOD DAMMIT shes so underrated it hurts.
she's a hit song writing legend
True talent and artistry, you are a superstar!
*sighs* I wish being a teenager was actually as glamorous as this depicts it to be.
We watch you from SPAIN!
Keep on writing songs, please!
Love u =)
something about her voice and her look just does it for me. anyway, she is a much better artist than 90% of her contemporaries.
Beautiful lyrics and beautiful beat! I love it!! You're so talented Bonnie :)
the cinematography is brilliant omg I just discovered her
If she doesn't enjoy any succes, that's bc she's an independent artist and there's no record label to promote her
reminds me a bit of kesha
she wrote some songs for her
Kristal De Luca co-wrote*
+Kristal De Luca gets ur facts straight. they wrote the song together.. kesha writes her own songs tooo.
sorry, i didn't know that. don't be angry at me haha
+axis chang lmao she didn't know so calm down. We Animals ain't like the rest of the fandoms so chill.
you have that...and then there's me who never leaves her room and doesn't talk to anyone...XD
I'd take you over her any day.
Diana C honestly,same.
Congratulations Bonnie! The video is awesome and this is your best song! Hope you can finally make a hit!
Seriously this should have been a massive hit ❤
I'm almost 45 and I wanted to grow up as fast as I could. I got married at 19. This song makes me wish that I had done it all differently. Melancholy nostalgia.
been my summer bop since 19; "they say talent is wasted...wasted on the dumbbbbbbbb"
This song gives me inspiration to not change the way that I am, just because I'm 12 doesn't mean I can't be the life of the party!
Why is she not more popular than this?? She's amazing!
sings about being a teenager and being wasted... born in 84 , shes 32...
That's why she's telling kids to "hold on to your wasted youth"
32 is still young
dylan spowart
Not to a teenager
Who cares, I am 38 and want still do shit like a teenager forever..lol..
+RobertKeyPro That's what I told the judge at my statutory rape trial
SHE'S SO UNDERRATED IT HURTS.SHE'S SO UNDERRATED IT HURTS.
This is DOPE!!! I love the early 90s vibe and the video quality, I feel I'm watching a 1995 pop video in old Mtv. This girl is awesome
her ep is the definition of pop
They say youth is wasted
wasted on the young
So then tell me, why are we having so much fun?
All the midnight dreamers falling into love
In our torn up sneakers, yeah, we were born to run
So I'm begging you
Hold on, hold on
To your wasted youth
Hang on, hang on
Cause it's going so soon
So let's get it while we're young
(We're wasted youth)
Yeah, we're bored and jaded
Sharing bubblegum
But these nights are sacred
There's freedom in our blood
So I'm begging you
Hold on, hold on
To your wasted youth
(We're diamonds in the rough)
Hang on, hang on
Cause it's going so soon
(Let's get it while we're young)
And shine on, cause we'll never be the same
We'll never be the same
(You know you know the truth)
Hold on, hold on
To your wasted youth
Let's get it while we're young
Let's get it while we're young
Let's go
Let's get stupid right now
Get to fooling around
Jump in the pool with you clothes on
Sleep with your shoes and on the futon
Time we got is right now
so we're making it count
Roll down the windows and scream it
Let's get it while we're young
Hold on, hold on
To your wasted youth
(We're diamonds in the rough)
Hang on, hang on
Cause it's going so soon
(Let's get it while we're young)
And shine on, cause we'll never be the same
We'll never be the same
(You know you know the truth)
Hold on, hold on
To your wasted youth
Let's get it while we're young
Ah, ah, ah, ah
We're wasted
Let's get it while we're young
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Let's get it while we're young
Yeah
Let's get it while we're young
Ah, ah, ah, ah
We're wasted, we're wasted
Ah, ah, ah, ah
We're wasted, we're wasted
Ah, ah, ah, ah
We're wasted, we're wasted
why u don't have a grammy?
