Black eyeliner, neon hair streaks, army pants, and neckties had a stranglehold on every 13-year-old floundering in their pop-punk phase. Whether you care to admit it or not, there was an allure to cutting holes in the knee of our skinny jeans, straightening your hair with a 400-degree wet-2-dry straightening iron, coloring your fingernails with a black sharpie, and feeling like we were being juuuust rebellious enough to enrage our parents. 

So even if they would never let you get that piercing you wanted or let you go to that concert, there’s a part of your adult psyche that’s still drawn to the sad boi anthems of the early 2000’s. 

Pop punk isn’t the only thing resurging in 2024.

So while you wait for pre-sale tickets, scroll onward to enjoy the best Avril Lavigne memes that’ll make you feel nostalgic for your younger days.
