When I was a teen, my room was littered with CDs, and my downloaded music collection was even bigger! I listened to some punk bands, but what I really fell in love with was pop-punk. Little-known bands were popping up all over the place with a do-it-yourself ethos and no label backing. I would listen to their MP3 demos over and over! I'd also mix it up with a few different sounds ranging from ska to hard-core. Check out 21 songs (for my 21 years) that I listened to in high school.
