I’m the boy who chose not to grow up, and now I’m unprepared for anything 🖤✨

We Were Sharks - Over This
You told me to hold close
When I wanted to let go
You said think of everywhere you could be right now
I said I'd rather be anywhere else
I'd rather be anywhere else
Feels like I'm caught in between
Being nothing and novelty
You said look at all the stars you could see right now
I said I feel like they're burning out
Losing my grip and I'm tripping over myself
Slipping away and I feel like becoming someone else
Because of you
Because of you
I'm getting pretty sick of all this petty shit
I think I'm fucking over this over this I
I think I'm fucking over this over this
Because of you
Because of you
I'd rather be anywhere else
I'd rather be anywhere else
It's safe to say that
it's like running from a heart attack
You said you could find a way to get through this spell oh no
I said why bother, it's already hell
I'm getting pretty sick of all this petty shit
I think I'm fucking over this over this I
I think I'm fucking over this over this
Because of you
Because of you
I'd rather be anywhere else
I'd rather be anywhere else

Opinion, I miss pop punk that used to be just like fun. I miss when the songs sounded like first date by blink-182 just like cheesy stupid but you loved it. I think the closest we have to that now is games we play and girlfriends but that’s it maybe magnolia Park.
Ohhh. Interesting 🧐 I’d say I agree with your first point, but hard disagree on the second;
Of course songs like First Date, My Friends Over You, The Anthem etc. have that quintessential fun and ‘bouncy’ pop-punk sound and I LOVE those songs to death
I also do agree there’s much more of an notion - and an unnecessary one at that - in modern pop-punkers that there has to be an element of seriousness & maturity, both musically and lyrically
I mean hell, look at Broadside’s latest stuff compared to anything off Old Bones, or The Wonder Years’ latest album compared to Melrose Diner; I can definitely see where you’re coming from with the ‘where’d the fun go?’ kinda feeling
BUT!! ☝️ I disagree that there’s not as many fun pop-punkers these days, we’ve still got plenty!
We’ve of course got the guys you mentioned who are all great, but we also still get that fun & bouncy energy in the latest releases from State Champs, WSTR, Between You & Me, Neck Deep and plenty more, including Blink themselves!
(Dgmw, Edging is no First Date, but it’s certainly still a lot of fun!)
I mean, come on, have a listen through all these and tell me they don’t sounded infectiously fun! 😄
These guys are still turning up, still giving us that fun, energetic, bouncy, unabashed pure pop-punk sound 🤘🖤
Pop-Punk’s Not Dead and it’s still just as fun as ever my friend! 🖤
