@@ashigaramii__ me too homie. TH-cam just decided to let me know today that I had replies to this. Shoutout to everyone still defending Pop Punk. We're all in this together 🤟❤️
I remember the fire near the beach.. screaming the end part of this song. Those were rough times, but its safe to appreciate under the half lit fluorescents of nostalgia.
This band continues to save my life on a daily!!! Low tide and goddamnitall fuck! All the Arron west albums when my mom died and now that my wife of 13 years left this bands music is the only thing I have! And I’m so thankful!!
These guys are definitely my age but sound like they're in high school but with a touch of lyrical genius, and a large helping of my life exactly.... I love it.
So glad the Owl showed me this band, I instantly became a big fan. Easily my favorite group I ever heard. I had a blast at their show in Cleveland a couple week ago.
I'm pretty sure I have watched this video about 100x in the past 3 days. I can't stop listening to it. Its so good and just makes you feel that every things going to be okay at the end of the day.
I've been in and out of being homeless for the last two years. The Wonder Years have gotten me through every single second of it. Don't know what I'd do without em.
2020 has been a total rollercoaster for me (aside from the pandemic). Since only January, I've moved twice, studied at 2 universities and lived in 3 different countries. When he sang "I spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure where home is anymore" I really felt it.
People who hate on TWY obviously have no idea what real music is. They're one of the best bands to come out in very long time. It's not just the music, its the lyrics, the emotion and everything in between that make them so great. They know how to hit on all emotional levels.
The only reason I didn't like TWY at first was because I didn't like pop punk, but these guys are something else. I don't understand how they can get hate when they can play a genre and appeal to people who don't even like that genre.
Didn't get Brand New tickets. Didn't get the get up kids vinyl on record store day. Tube blew in my rockerverb. My 94 taurus broke down. STILL HAVE MY FRIENDS.
I've been listening to FYS since I was about 17. They are a genuinely incredible band whose TWO lead vocalists ARE ALSO THEIR GUITARISTS. That's what drew me to them originally as a musician and music lover. They have consistently maintained not only PHENOMENAL riffs, lyricism and a consistent feel to their music, but also my interest which is seriously saying something. Also there really is something to be said for a band of FYS' Calibur who has only lost ONE member since their inception over almost 20 years ago. Also also, I heard a rumor from a close friend that they were in a bit of a rivalry with A Day To Remember. ADTR wrote, titled, and released "Second Sucks" on their album "What separates me from you" about FYS who responded to it with "It Must Really Suck To Be Four Year Strong Right Now" on their album "Enemy Of The World". Both albums came out around the same time.
Brady Moore He's one of the best in the genre but nah man, I love TWY and I play along to their songs a lot but there are many and more drummers better than Mike
the wonder years literally helped me grow from a teenager to an adult, a lot has changed but sometimes I feel like I still have to come back and listen to these guys just to touch base. Helps me understand who I am, who I've been, and where I'm going.
I love how the song has a depressing element, but it concludes with a positive message. I just saw these guys live in SF earlier this month. The circle pit, the lights, the energy... such a great show.
when they played this song at the HOUSE PARTY TOUR, i just went into a euphoric state. This song and the band holds so much meaning to me and helped me out a lot throughout these years; and to be able to jump and scream out the lyrics while slamming into a bunch of people, i just couldnt be more happy..
Neck deep is pretty good too, even though they're leaning away from their roots recently. I've started to care less about what genre I listen to. I just listen to whatever makes me happy these days.
The year is 2021, I'm almost 30 and still defending Pop Punk, Machine Gun Kelly is somehow now a Pop Punk artist... I miss the good old days of skating with my friends on long summer days listening to Under Soil and Dirt....
I tattooed the bridge of this song on my forearm to help me with my depression. “I spent the winter writing songs about getting better. If I’m being honest, I’m getting there” and I’m getting more lyrics tattooed on me in the next month or so.
When ever I get upset that I wont ever be able to make music this good I feel better knowing SOUPY WENT TO COLLEGE FOR MUSIC AND TAUGHT IT and I realize I don't just suck at music but I also have the drive and initiative of a bloated sea walrus with diabetes.
Wow his singing voice at the beginning is so different than his softer voice at the end. It almost made me wonder if it was a 2nd singer. But the last part of the song is so emotional and I love how the intensity increases each time he sings it. Such a great, authentically raw, meaningful song! “And I spent the winter writing songs about getting better.”
They sound JUST like Man Overboard!! I've loved both of these bands for AGES and i just kinda put this together.. Wonder Years sound like Man Overboard but with a deeper sound, and less pop more punk.
Dude I found you in the comments of "how do I tell a girl..." by modern baseball too! You're a legend, I swear that one day I'm gonna send her the song
38 years old… married for the past 13 years with my own home and a few kids… why do I still relate to this song after all these years?

Why do we have to defend pop punk? I think it defends itself.
***** DEFEND POP PUNK! Yeah, MO has weird fanbase or did they start this "trend" by themselves?

A lot of them go through phases but there’s a chunk of us holding it down still 😛😛
nah bro i'm here. i gotchu

Couldn’t agree more. It brings every emotion in your life out in one song
Have you heard Alex Melton's cover of this? Pretty good.
the beatles music exist tho sooo... no.

They have like what, like, 5-10 slow tear jerker songs? You clearly haven't been looking too hard.
Loool ikr. I just couldn't get into them until I heard this
Melrose diner is a bright cheery work of art. duh fucker
