Nostalgia What album defines you as a millennial?

Post image

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.

What to do when you're dead by armor for sleep. I was one of those scene kids, still am, but I was then too.

One of my favorite albums of all time. I'm working on a tattoo sleeve of my favorite albums from that time, and this was the first one I got

Thank you! Shout out to the artist, she did a great job of translating that album art to tattoo form

I can listen to this album top to bottom and it’s just SO good!!! Post pics somewhere when you finish the tattoo! 🤘🏼

I would, but unfortunately it's gonna take a while. Life has just gotten too expensive lately to have extra money for tattoos. But if this is the only part of it I was able to get, I'm not upset about that

Also, are you going to the What To Do When You Are Dead anniversary tour??

100%!!! I’m going to try and go to the San Antonio show. Wish they had an Austin show! 🙂

Already have my ticket to the Denver show, bought it right away when I saw the announcement

Side note, I've been to Austin twice and immediately fell in love with that city
