[@chrismatassa8999]

Dude, my mom didn't sign my permission slip to go on this feels trip

[@zekewow2682]

“This is a certified hood classic”

[@giannat418]

Wow, they really named a sport after this band, such legends

[@bradoozy]

everyone gangsta until that second guitar part comes in

[@YouAreProbablyInsufferable]

Some say this is the Stairway To Heaven of midwestern emo rock

[@lunatik_Ema]

This is probably the most beautiful riff ever made in history.

[@MrShindiMember777]

This is a certified suburban classic

[@user-rg4tv9hf4b]

Never forget the heart broken 4am nights on city rooftops with the gang. Those emotions were so real. Now none of us even talk.

[@johanfalk2875]

Sucks, right? You’ll have relationships that are stronger, longer, more stable, etc but you’ll never feel that intense, chaotic feeling of young love ever again. Emotions just mellow out as you age.

[@sanholobeats]

so good still

[@UnorthodoxIndividual]

I saw a meme of a guy punching a gallon of milk in like less than 144p quality with this song playing in the background and that's why I'm here.

[@internetexplorer1593]

I used to think

[@Zizeh8]

I had a difficult childhood and had to grow up sooner than most. I never got to experience things like young love or a group of friends, but this song makes me feel like I’m tapping into another timeline where I did have those things and for just a second I feel whole and for that I am grateful

[@antoniomateus2572]

That house needs to be made a UNESCO world heritage site.

[@jojohernandezGames]

yesterday was the day my bandmate passed on... this song was one of the first songs he showed me,and i loved it ever since...now it'll always remind me of him... cancer sucks.

[@OneFluffyBun]

a few weeks ago, me and my friends went down to the American Football House for our friends birthday, since it was only about an hour away from where we were staying, we listened to this album completely on the drive there, and it ended as we pulled up in front of the house. it was honestly really cool.

[@California1993-yy3vl]

I cried. You cried. We cried.

[@jerf2121]

I think the main reason why I love midwest emo so much is because most of the songs sound like the Wii sports bowling results music

[@thedapperdolphin1590]

The exact mood of this song is being a college student who is walking around campus during the fall and feeling nostalgic/regretful

[@UpUpBobby]

I am 35 years old and I literally cannot listen to this song without crying. I just become overwhelmed with the memories of being young. Falling into feelings so hard that every little thing crushed me emotionally. But the emotional highs were also so much higher. Guitar music was loved by most. While I don't want to be a slave to nostalgia, something tells me I'll never feel anything like this for any other genre of music ever again.
