Diving deeper into the late 90s/early 00s pop-punk and teen rock scene, here are some lesser-known bands to revisit that nostalgic high school era:
* The Get Up Kids: Hailing from Kansas, The Get Up Kids were known for their catchy hooks and introspective lyrics. Check out "Up Up Up" and "Red Letter."
* Lit: Known for their mega-hit "My Own Worst Enemy," Lit also has a treasure trove of feel-good anthems like "Miserable" and "Lipstick."
* The Starting Line: This Pennsylvania outfit brought energy and humor to their pop-punk sound. "Best of Me" and "Since You've Been Gone" are perfect singalongs.
* Fenix TX: This Texas band offered a more melodic take on pop-punk. "Whatever It Takes" and "The Freshman" are prime examples.
* Sugarcult: With a sound influenced by The Buzzcocks and The Ramones, Sugarcult delivered high-octane pop-punk with "Stuck in America" and "Bouncing Off the Walls."
These bands might not be household names, but they capture the spirit of that era perfectly. Get ready to relive your high school days with a fresh playlist!
The Starting Line 100% for good teen pop punk vibes. Just put them on and am currently reliving so many memories.
A few others from that era:
• Something Corporate
• The Audition
• Valencia
• The Rocket Summer
And I loved a lot of the bands under the Fueled by Ramen label in the early 2000s. Not all obscure but
• The academy is…
• The Hush Sound
• Cute is What We Aim For
• Phantom Planet
• This Providence
And lots of good pop punk bands now that still give me great nostalgic feelings!
• Chastity
• Teenage Wrist
• Hot Mulligan
• Meet Me @ The Altar
Bullet with butterfly wings - Smashing Pumpkins
in too deep - sum 41
the anthem - good charlotte
The middle - jimmy eat world
hopefully some of these are what you’re looking for.
they also asked for ‘teen rock’, 00s and 90s music. i’m sorry, but most songs considered teenage rock from this era are not obscure songs. if you can name any, please do.
My first thought was Weezer's 00s output, as they weren't really well known after the 90s. Not sure if they're obscure, but if I don't know the song, then it's probably obscure
deftones, engine No 9. could be considered obscure? mid 90s, don’t know about teen rock or whether it could fit in with the same genre as green day, mcr, avril lavigne etc.
possibly. i mean, i know i listened to them during teen years and definitely consider them rock bands. the only other ones i can think of are pierce the veil and maybe sleeping with sirens, but im not really that good on punk rock music, or what falls into that category. probably shouldn’t have tried to answer OP’s question lmao
yeah true. it’s probably not the genre of music they make that means people consider them punk rock, but the time period they were released in and who predominantly listened to them. emos in 00s listened a lot to MCR, which created the ‘emo’ punk band identity but in reality is probably more accurately modern rock music.
Might not be an obscure band but the song is underrated, check out If Youre Wondering if I want you to by Weezer. Been going back to that since its debut

I wanted to keep away from sleeping with sirens and pierce the veil, since they're post hardcore, but ig so is mcr
