The Ultimate 2000s Punk Rock Playlist: 20 Songs That Define (and Redefine) a Decade

This week, I’m joined by Jay Sweet, my former Tunestiles co-host, as we dive into the 2000s punk rock scene. From pop-punk hits that defined iPod playlists to emo, ska, and Irish punk anthems, we cover the full spectrum of what “punk” meant in the 2000s.

Along the way, we reminisce about the bands that shaped a generation, the songs that made Warped Tour an institution, and the tracks that pushed the boundaries of the genre. Expect sing-along choruses, mosh-worthy riffs, and a few curveballs that stretch “pop-punk” to its absolute limits (listener discretion advised. 😉)

Whether you’re reliving your first concerts, rediscovering forgotten favorites, or just craving a high-energy playlist to blast through your day, this episode is a love letter to the era that kept punk alive and evolving.
