Blink, Weezer, & emo rock

devilgrrlAh, late nights. I just saw the videos for The Rock Show and HashPipe. I am currently nursing a huge girlie boner for both songs. Neither video was what I anticipated, but they were both interesting, none the less.
I think what makes me like both songs so much is that they remind me of being a kid, instead of tottering on the brink of adulthood like I am now. Blink 182 reminds me of the summer after I graduated. That song, What's My Age Again, was in heavy rotation and I remember cruising around, singing that at the top of my lungs. It reminds me of being carefree and, I don't know, think that being 17 was the highlight of life; of somehow all of those magical moments would be frozen in time and I would be eternally 17.
Weezer reminds me more of being, god, 15, maybe? I remember watching the video to Buddy Holly on MTV a good deal and thinking that the singer was the bee's knees. I mean, he's still pretty adorable in that sad, sensitive way that makes everyone (and I do mean everyone) wonder why their boyfriend isn't like that. Like Matt said, it's the kind of music that sad, teenager girls sit in their bedrooms and listen to.
I guess knowing so many of my friends are graduating soon is making me sappy. It kind of hurts that I've lost touch with so many people for whom I really cared. Nothing ever stays the same, as much as I really wish I could freeze frame it.
I'm really groggy right now and vaguely upset. Tonight is Faint night, which makes me very happy. I haven't done anything lately that isn't totally adult. I want to feel young and do things instead of feeling like I'm fucking 40. I hate everything. Christ, I'm whiny. If I keep this up, someone might mistake me for Weenie-Boy.
On a light note, it's time I come out of the closet...
*sniff* I'm secretly starting to like emo. Tonight, I willingly downloaded a New Found Glory song [but it was stuck in my head, really!], a Midtown song [I had to!], and a Small Brown Bike song [but I always liked them!]. It must be all the pollen in the air. There is no other real explanation [other than no one is forcing it down my throat now.]
Mm, that feels better. Is there a support group that I can join for this?
