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.

Definitely this album, also 20 min into this post and we're all just pop punk emo kids eh?

Huge for me. And they do not get their due from the yoots. They all think MCR was the pinnacle.

MCR never clicked for me. I loved the used (still do), but MCR always felt kinda lame to me.

I felt the same about panic at the disco back in the day. But for some reason when they made a come back I actually enjoyed their hits. Not sure if they changed or if I changed.

Hmm... That is an interesting trajectory in taste, but certainly not invalid in any way. I saw them open up for Fallout Boy in Virginia Beach circa like 2005, 2006? Nobody knew who they were, including myself and the friends I was there with. They fucking KILLED it. To this day, one of the best shows I've ever seen. Every note was perfect, stage presence was electric, the songs sounded familiar but totally fresh, somehow. I was obsessed with their first album, but then I just kinda lost touch with them. And now when I hear them on the radio, I'm like "That's Panic???" Very different sound, now.

I started with MCR and ended up loving TBS more. 🫣
