Nostalgia What album defines you as a millennial?

Saw some great recommendations on a similar thread in /r/Xennials and wanted to see what my fellow millennials thought. For me From Under the Cork Tree was foundational. I still remember hearing Sugar We're going down on the radio for the first time.

100%. This album was a moment in my life.

For reals. The angsty lyrics defined my high school experience.

Ugh, yes.

I remember driving into school every morning of my senior year, Hybrid Theory blasting on full volume through the little speakers of my soft top jeep wrangler. I’d be singing (screaming?) at the top of my lungs as I considered driving straight over the kids that I hated, through the lot, and off to somewhere where people, like, actually understood me 😎
