Listened to Wonder Years for most of a 34 hour bus ride from new york back to minneapolis. This came on when I was getting off the bus, and everyone on the bus had family to meet them and I just got off the bus and walked home. All I could think was holy shit this is pop-punk as fuck.
idk y this made me laugh! haha :)
Just made me tear up a bit.
You're so awesome!

i got home from war and got on "the losers with no family" bus so i feel yah
I've definitely realized that the older you get the more relatable this becomes
Kind of the reverse of most new punk - it's usually targeted at younger teens who haven't got a clue what's coming
That's the wonder years biggest strength I think. A lot of pop punk bands stop once they reach their mid 20's, but wonder years have really grown.
Yeah I'm about to be 30 in December and this is definitely relatable!
Thomas Revill exactly! Tbh I was 19-20 when this song came out and it didn’t even mean anything to me. I didn’t care. Just thought it sounded good! I hadn’t a clue as to what I would feel today. I fucked up my first year of college and failed. I messed up and had a few bad relationships I shouldn’t have gotten into then and I didn’t even start working on my music serious back then. I’m JUST NOW caring about what relationship is worth it to enter. Bc I’m serious about possibly finally marrying. I’m taking it serious. I’m JUST NOW getting into the swing of taking my music (as a career) serious and finishing up after re-uping back into college to finish my music production degree. The Wonder Years and The Story So Far co-headline tour was my first concert i ever went too. I sang every word and poured my heart bc I loved all their songs. But now, I’m almost 25 and a lot of where I wanted to be right now still hadn’t worked out. Now this song actually rings true. I wonder if I ever fucked up... missed my window 😢
That's why The Wonder Years is so well respected. They took pop punk and made it way more mature then it ever had been.
I just turned 26. When the clock struck midnight and I was officially 26, I hit play and listened to it full blast on my headphones. Young me thought I would have have it all figured out by 25. Instead I blast this song and sing along as best I can, getting teary eyed every time Dan says “Jesus Christ…” because it’s so relatable when all your friends are married, when they have kids, when you just feel like you’re completely falling behind and falling apart. When you feel like somewhere along the line you fucked up. The Wonder Years makes me feel like I’m not completely alone feeling this way. So I’ll turn the volume up again, give the song another listen, and maybe soon enough I won’t feel this way. But for now, Jesus Christ, I’m 26.
I still have a year to go before the 26 line can officially resonate with me but the way things are now, I'll definitely feel the same way you do.
I've just been procrastinating on life and all I got out of it was the ability to relate to sad pop punk songs lmao
Hang in there, and happy belated birthday!
Mega cringe
U not alone ❤
I remember listening to this when I was 26. I'm turning 32 in two months. All I can say is "Jesus Christ".
I've had this song on repeat for a week now. I'm 30 and it's unfortunately still relatable
EVERYTIME HE SAYS "WELL JESUS CHRIST...." I GET SO HYPE FOR THAT WHOLE FUCKING VERSE MAKES ME EMOTIONAL
taylor swift - "twenty two oh oooh"
blink-182 - "nobody likes you when youre twenty three"
the wonder years - "jesus christ im twenty six"
When you're 23 it's not attractive to complain about your sore back-alkaline trio
The Story So Far - "I'm 24..."
Jimmy Eat World.- "even at 25 you gotta start sometime"
Story of the Year - "I've come to find that I've grown bitter in just 24 short years"
Bowling for Soup “… Her dreams went out the door when she turned 24”
Pop punk is rad as fuck.
>rad
dud dude
Dead*
do you think you're cool or something?
just shhhh
What blows my mind more than how perfectly this song fits how I feel, is how the video captures it. When I try to explain my depression to people and my anxiety, I always say how I feel like I am sitting on a train. I am still while everything else flies by me. I get to see glimpses of beautiful things from time to time, but it's gone in a flash of dizzying motions.
Victoria, that's a pretty poetic way of describing anxiety and depression. I can relate. This song and "Most Days Aren't Bad Days" speak to me like the way you described... czcams.com/video/WZoGvFKPf30/video.html
Now that I'm 26 this song hits me harder than ever 😅
I'm 26 in a few weeks. And hard same.
Same...
I’m seeing TWY on my 26th birthday in Chicago...this song is gonna be so emotional when they play it.
Wait until you get thirty my friend.
@@isaacmackey2 in this case you should listen to tellin lies by the menzingers
Man, this entire album perfectly captures getting older. I'm 24 now, and pretty much everyone I know grew up with pop punk be it The Offspring to Brand New or Blink 182. It was fun and all but eventually you outgrow it for anything other than nostalgia. Then an album like this comes out. Holy fuck. It's been forever since pop punk gave me shivers. Honestly, listening to this album is a little uncomfortable for me just because of how hard it hits home. And I fucking love every second of it.
Alk3mest Same shit bro. I'm 24 too and i have the same feelings ! *bro fist*
Alk3mest Jonathan Carette my 21 year old girlfriend calls me old (I'm 24)
Best comment ever. I am 27 and man it's hella hard to stay in the loop with the newer up and coming bands. I like this tho. Maybe I'm out of date but nothing beats NFG or Blink. Tho these younger bands are good.
Shika Kinda sad haha
dacoldcore yes Blink 182 is great!
Now 41. With kids and wife. Keep moving. Keep Growing.
i'm 26, have a daughter and a wife, but this song hits me so hard
i'm passing through some shit and listening to this and reading the comments makes me feel better, knowing that there are people like me, people that are trying to make their best, even tough it always finish in a disaster.
dont' give up guys, we all gonna get through this, no matter what.
Found this song and already 26. Midlife Identity crisis, anxiety, and mild depression keeps lingering but not worse than the last ones. Man, shit hit homes when the lyrics said "Jesus Christ, Did I fucked up?" My heart keeps saying to cry out loud but my mind wouldn't do it. I don't know man. Life still goes on. Gotta keep my shit together.
Shit, I'm going through the same shit. You just described how I'm feeling, but I didn't/couldn't find the words to say it.
I was feeling the same when I was 26 and this song was my anthem. Now im 28 and not really in a perfect place but I can assure you: Life can change in any minute. Just keep holding on.
It’s like a bunch of us in our mid 20s revisited this song feeling the same thing 😂
I literally just turned 26 man. I heard this when I was just 18. Time flies, just keep our heads up and enjoy the journey
I'm 26, this song speaks to me on every possible level.
+TeenageHeadcase dude, same! Did I fuck up?
TeenageHeadcase I'm turning 26 in 2 months and my wife left me about 3 months ago.did i fuck up?
TeenageHeadcase I'm 10 years younger and this speaks to me on every level. It feels like I'm already headed nowhere.
I'm almost 26
34 and starting again. This song is pure poetry. I was 18 when Blink, New Found Glory etc came along. So glad pop punk has grown with me, never thought it would. Thank you TWY.
Heard this song for the first time as a depressed teenager and still cling to it as a depressed adult. This song and this video explain exactly how I feel in under 4 minutes. Nothing hits harder these days than “Jesus Christ. i’m 26. All the people that I graduated with all have kids, all have wives, all have people who care if they come home at night. Well, Jesus Christ…did I fuck up?”
Well I made it to 26.......heard this when I was just 18. Time flies but I'm still that kid in me. And it definitely sounds relatable now..... Haha man
that little voice crack right at the end is like an emotional punch in the face, amazing song
Is no one going to mention how beautiful these shots are taken? Amazing video and song overall.
I’m 49, with a kid in college, but this song still means something to me.
I had this song on my cellphone and I uploaded this song on it because I liked it's sound (at first) and not for the lyrics; I'm latin and even though I speak English I didn't pay attention to the lyrics, so I didn't really understand what this song was about; but I was listening this song during the lunch time at work and I felt the emotion charge after the bridge, I notice words like "how could you understand, jesus christ., I'm 26, did I fuck up?". So I look for the lyrics and...damn, It hit me hard because I have felt, and sometimes still feel like the lyrics describes, and being 26 years old myself it hit me hard that I can relate myself to this song so much. Many of the people I graduated with have wives and kids already, sometimes I feel bad, not for not having a family but for, at 26 years old, not having half of the stability that It would require. Even though I'm not feeling like having wife and kids untill having at least 35. Anyway, this is a great song, lyrically and musically speaking.
+MiMenteOnLine Same here dude, same here!
hey MImente online, how you been brotha, I remember seeing your comment 8 years ago when i was a 18. I remember you had a cover video about of a certain band and i thought it was really good, but you took i off your channel. Anyways Im 27 now and lol i always come back to this music video cause it's my favorite and i just saw your comment again lol. Take care buddy
@@kfreedom470 hahaha must unexpected replied I have ever received. Yeah, I deleted every video in which my face was shown, for work related thing. That cover must have been of a song by Oasis, or maybe a cover of "Mad" by Emarosa.
Dude, it's really unexpected, didn't even remembered I left a comment here. Wow, that song really hit me then. I'm kind of in the same place, but not really; more experience in life, more emotionally stable now, and more work / career knowledge. Still without children or wife, not time for that for the next couple of years, got to stay career focused. It took me too much time to be mentally stronger, I used to had a tendency to feel down for some reason. Now it's time to Level up that bank account.
But yeah, it got better.
Hey, I appreciate you took the time to tell me about that. Cheers, "entertheMatriX", I really hope you're doing well, or better than "yesterday" at least.
Why isn't this song more popular?
Cause it's actually good haha
True. Haha
It's all about image they don't have enough sex appeal and most people don't like pop punk like this they want some songs about girls and tits.
Alex Kidd Actually Pop-Punk is a massive seller if you have that sex appeal mixed with the more generic pop side. Just look at bands like Fall Out Boy, 5 Seconds of Summer or Good Charlotte
***** its not there fault there just not lucky enough stumble on good bands at a young age anymore to much tech control.
This song came out when i was 19.
7 years later, that bridge just hits a little different.
“Jesus Christ, im 26. All the people i graduated with, all have kids, all have wifes, all have people who care if they come home at night. Well Jesus Christ. Did i fuck up?”
This song especially hit for me when I first heard this song. I was 26 and this song was literally how I was feeling with life at the time. I used to listen to this song a lot during my commute to work.
This song also hit home during that time too because people were talking already about the 10 year high school reunion which I didn't go to because I worked a Kendrick Lamar concert
...who else is 26 and totally feeling this way?
This, The Starting Line, Valencia... Philly has a sound and it’s amazing.
Grayscale too
2:41 This part of the song give me chills every time I listen to it!
If a better song was ever written please let me know
Many other better songs hahah all subjective tho
"I just want to sell out my funeral" by a band called The Wonder Years
Seriously though. I just wanna sell out my funeral is a fucking beautiful mashup of all the songs on the album that this one is on. It's fucking epic.
Shay By The Day it's so good. Still gives me chills when I listen to it. If you let the whole album play in order it makes the song even more epic.
Preach!
I remember when I listened to this song in my late teens, not fully understand the feeling of the bridge. As I turned 26, I felt it in so many level. Still, 2 years later, Jesus Christ, did I fuck up?
The Wonder Years, Modern Baseball, The Front Bottoms, Angels and Airwaves, Explosions in the Sky, and that new band A Place To Be really get to me...
Oh god, I'm 26 right now and to be honest... It's pretty scary how personal is this song for me. 🤷♂️
I've ridden the R5 many times, as I am also from Lansdale. I have thought many of the same things this song is expressing. Thanks for that, Wonder Years. Great band and great song.
The Wonder Years & The Story So Far are tha Best Rock Groups from this Era!!!!!
Been listening to these guys since the early days and it's crazy how every album of their's goes with how my life is at that moment in time it comes out (cliche I know, everyone says that) but being the same age as soupy, I guess it makes sense. These dudes just keep getting better. "There, There" is still probably my favorite from this album though.
Fell in love with this song when I was 21, and 26 felt like so far away. Now I’m a few months from 27, and the feeling this song gives me is indescribable. It hits… right where it hurts.
When this album dropped, I was staying in upstate PA for my cousins wedding in NJ. For a week I rode the trains back and forth, sometimes to NYC. I remember listening to this album (this song especially) on repeat. Fit the mood poetically.
Pretty neat how music can speak to us. I always put on this song or "Most Days Aren't Bad Days" by A Place To Be when I take a train anywhere. czcams.com/video/WZoGvFKPf30/video.html
the song is about that 'quarter-life crisis' that hits people in their mid twenties. Thinking about all the different paths you could have gone down, and wondering whether you've made the right choices in life. The video reflects that.
This band deserves a lot more attention
holy shit, never in my wildest dreams have I thought that i'll be coming back to this song at almost 26
One of the greatest emo bands of the 2010s.
Yo i was 18 when I saw this video and at a young age I don't know why but I felt the emotion get to me. I just started college and as everyone I was starting to figure things out. Now I'm 24 and I'm happy for myself but damn... I'm still soul searching myself and this music videos still talk to me. Everything around me feels like a dream. To anybody out there still jamming to this track keep on going don't quit. We'll get there.
Back in 2013, I saw the Wonder Years perform this song at the Warped Tour. I enjoyed the performance but was more excited for the next performer. Who would've thought 10 years later I'd be here hanging on by a thread
My 2013 song for sure.
I saw these guys live on the House Party Tour with All Time Low, Pierce the Veil, and A Day to Remember last month and they were so incredible live. I love them now.
This song came out when I was 24 and it hits hard, then I see them live at 27 and it hits SO hard, I'm 30 now and still loving it like the first time I heard it.
Just turned 26 today and saw these guys at the Worcester palladium last night! This was their 2nd to last encore. Such an amazing show!
Heard this song in 2014 (I was 20 at that time) when I was down and depressed. 8 years later, this is still my anthem and go-to song.
Me too, brother. It's okay.
Such a good song, and album. 35 and still feel this way...
I was 26 when this song came out. It still hits me just as hard now.
Likewise, I’m 31 now and it’s oddly relatable still.
Turned 27 last month, it hurts how accurate it is
can't wait to be 26 for this song to annihilate me harder than it already does. favorite song ever
I’m 26 now. Proud to say I got a wife and kid waiting for me at home. I don’t think I ever would’ve thought it was possible hearing this song for the first time damn near a decade ago. Weird how times does what it does.
why can't anyone my age listen to the wonder years.
I grew up in Lansdale, this video is so nostalgic for me :)
Still the jams...listen when I'm down and out... this whole album.
you still got a good amount of time. im 20 and this song hits a little close to home cause im starting to see people from 3 or 4 years ago just start off with their lives. either going further in their education, getting married. shit a few are going to have a kid. it does make you question yourself but instead of getting down i try building up on the fact i do still have time to set my life in a good direction.
I’m not a super big fan of TWY, but this album sits in my family’s van and this album is considered a family album, and my mom sings along at the “I’m 26! All the people I graduated with…” without hesitation cause she stresses how much she felt like that at 26. When my sibiling told her the lead got married the first thing she said was “so he has someone who cares if he comes home at night?“ this album holds a very unique place in my heart and my family.
I feel you man, same here. For past 2 years. Each and every one of us that works, can relate to this guy, once every morning and day starts being same, you start to question yourself is this life you want, and can you still change something, because even small things matter. We shouldnt be looking through window while our life is passing.
this song hits different listening now that im grown up
my friend nic and I have seen you 2 times in Nashville. This song always hits me. I used to feel this for a few years even past 26. This song is poetic for any human just going through it. Thank you for this music.
Actual masterpiece of a song.
Heres the thing TWY still hold Lansdale (where I am from) close to their heart. Them doing this still shows their connection to us back here. Lansdale is such a small town, and them putting it on the map is a huge deal. We respect them for keeping up the Lansdale pride!
dis song emotional boi
uatafoki
it's 2020 and i'm back here, how about y'all
First heard this at 25, now 28 and really wondering wtf
man, I don't wanna be the one to say this but, get your shit together.
William K when I first heard this I was a sperm now I'm a frog
Song is about a lot more than "getting your shit together"
First found this song just before I turned 26. I am 29 now. Shit is still real
This band, this song, define my life!
Even at 34 - this song still hits hard
It never gets any worse or easier to listen to
Aammennn
I was 16 when this came out and I knew I had to come back when I was 26. I turned 26 a couple weeks ago and it still hits just as hard
This is probably my all time favourite song
Just a thought I had but it seems everyone thinks this song is about an early life crisis but I’ve always taken it as a character suffering from PTSD. It fits the theme of the album and Passing Through a Screen Door is even an acronym for PTSD. This is also supported by the lines about being terrified like a kid in the 60’s waiting for the bomb to fall and explains why he keeps a flashlight and a knife by his bed because he is left terrified from his time in the military. The army green jacket of the man in the music video also could maybe be a hint. Not 100% sure but there is strong evidence to support this idea.
100% accurate. I’m a trauma therapist and often ask the clients I work with if they’ve ever heard this song.
For sure, the album is about losing his great grandpa as far as I pick up on. Being at the funeral and then going to look through his stuff with a “devil in his bloodstream"
THIS BAND
I LIKE IT
For me, it's when the train tracks are heard in the background as he walks off. There is a real sense of feeling lost in this song and video.
No song has hit me more in the feels than this in recent memory. This is how I discovered and I can't think of a better song to have done it.
28 and wow this song sums it up
I was not aware there was a video for this song until now. I love this song so much.
Same I had no idea, now it's even more relateable lol
I don't understand all the hate towards this video. Despite TWY not being involved, the concept itself shows just how much the band has matured. The new album is one of, if the not the best I've ever heard. Beautiful.
*tears up from relatableness"
The Wonder Years, Modern Baseball, The Front Bottoms, Angels and Airwaves, Explosions in the Sky, and that new band A Place To Be really get to me...
These guys seem to write at least one song I can relate to perfectly. This is one of them. It sums it up so perfectly.
This music video shouts such a powerful message.
Seriously man, it doesn't say much at face value, but it's really deep if you sit and contemplate it.
this song still gives me chills
I’ve been listening to them for over a decade and this song still gets me. So fucking relatable. Soupy is a great lyricist
Damn when he says "how could you understand" and "Jesus Christ, did I fuck up?" that shit hits closer to home then any lyrics I've ever heard. I'm 25, I guess I have one more year to make it before this song becomes my life.
So totally can't wait to see them! Next week!!
He is saying what we’re all thinking inside
This song doesn’t fuck around
I'm 27 tomorrow, today is the last time I can relate with the perfect outro of this song! #jesuschristim26
This band is such a gem after this song I bought every album and I was not disappointed
I absolutely love everything about this video.
Now that im 26 and have no achievement in my life this song hit home
I saw these guys at warped tour and the house party tour they definitely put on a great live show and there fans a so fucking insane! I love it man.
I saw them with TSSF and the gnarwolves never listened the wonder years till I seen them live and realized they are a bad ass band
warpedsavage shit you're lucky, I was gonna go to that but the parks and devastation tour was in my town a day before that tour was and had to pick one
Madison Paris dang that sucks you couldn't go to both , yeah TSSF had the crowd going crazy and then the wonder years came on after them and the crowd still was going nuts I was all sore and had bruises from getting kicked and elbowed by people it was a pretty gnarly concert you should have went XD
warpedsavage Yep, a big regret not going I love tssf too haha hopefully they come back here I would kill to see the live again
Madison Paris yeah they're a bad ass band same here, I hope they come back so I can see them live again too, I would punch a cop in the face to see them live again
Amazing how they got Nate Ruess to be in this video
This song gave me chills...
Such an honest and powerful song.
So this might be what I have to look forward to in 5 years.
azonic2002 You’re Almost There
welcome.
Are you 26 rn?
hey it's been 5 years. how's life going?
You okay?
Thank you Hopeless Records for once again introducing me to amazing music. These guys sound great.
love this band and their whole "sleepy knees" deal
"I keep a Fleshlight and some KY in the corner of my bedstand"
lmao
cursed
You wouldn't understand......
the video made this song so much more powerful, i absolutely loved it. keep it up wonder years!
Just figured out about this band and I'm absolutely in love with their music
These guys, the Front Bottoms, and that new band A Place To Be are something else lyrically... Have you heard this song? czcams.com/video/2C-vcZ9HUYM/video.html
Simply the best band out there today.
Man this gave me a new perspective on things. I was in a band when i was younger, and all i thought about was making music and making it big and not having to work a 9 to 5 job.These guys have it, travelling and making money doing what they love, and yet they long for what normal average people have. Guess you can't really have it all
Well this entire album is written under someone else's perspective. It's called the greatest generation for a reason. I'm sure they can relate to certain/many aspects though.
Been listening to this band since high school, today I’m 26 this hits me a lot more 😩
These guys are actually really good, best band i've heard from a comment link. Actually, probably one of the best new pop punk bands period.
Funny how I keep on listening to this song for the past few weeks and realized that's where I am right now. The whole lyrics is just on point on where I'm at, specially on 2:41. Never really pay much attention to the lyrics back then but now I've appreciated the song even much more. Listening to The Wonder Years really makes me happy and sad at the same time. 😂
