Ah, the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/essential-2000s-screamo-albums/brian-hauntly">2000s scene era</a>; a time when skinny jeans were tighter than ever, studded belts were a must-have fashion accessory, and guyliner was the ultimate expression of rebellion.

Don't be shy; cast your vote for your favorite songs and let us know which ones still tug at your heartstrings and make you want to rock that eyeliner like it's 2005.
