2001 was Fun
high-energy, guitar-driven pop-punk with a raw, rebellious edge, blending catchy, upbeat melodies with fast-paced, driving rhythms. It balances carefree, nostalgic tones with bursts of chaotic, almost anthemic aggression, featuring sing-along choruses, punchy power chords, and occasional frenetic bursts that feel like live, messy, fun-filled youth. The overall vibe is both raucous and celebratory, capturing the exhilaration of reckless freedom, adolescent rebellion, and late-night adventures, while maintaining an infectious, melodic sensibility that invites jumping, shouting, and endless singalongs.

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Skateboarding sidewalks, headphones on blast
Sunset chasing summers that we knew wouldn’t last
Ripped jeans and mixtapes, songs we’d scream out loud
City lights were ours, every night a crowd
We laughed at the teachers, flipped off authority
Wrote our names in bathroom stalls like a minor victory
Garage band chaos, speakers shaking the walls
We didn’t care at all, no, we didn’t care at all
(Pre-Chorus)
And I know, yeah I know
We were burning fast, not slow
Every day a fire, every night a glow
And it felt like…
(Chorus)
2001 was fun, we were young, on the run
Every wrong turn felt right under the sun
2001 was fun, made us proud, screaming out
We were kings of nothing, but we knew what life’s about
(Verse 2)
Punk shows in the basement, moshing in the heat
Sneakers full of mud, broken hearts on repeat
All-nighters at the diner, surge soda and fries
Watching life go by through half-awake eyes
We plotted world destruction, then laughed at the plan
Crashing every party, making every last stand
They yelled, “Get off the roof!” — we didn’t hear a word
The soundtrack of our youth was every song we’d heard
(Pre-Chorus)
And I know, yeah I know
We were spinning out of control
Every scar a badge, every fall a role
And it felt like…
(Chorus)
2001 was fun, we were young, on the run
Every wrong turn felt right under the sun
2001 was loud, made us proud, screaming out
We were kings of nothing, but we knew what life’s about
(Bridge)
Bouncing off the walls at midnight
Hand grenades in our hearts ready to ignite
Some day we’ll look back, maybe shake our heads
But in messy chaos, we were alive no matter what they said
(Chorus)
2001 was fun, we were young, on the run
Every wrong turn felt right under the sun
2001 was loud, made us proud, screaming out
We were kings of nothing, but we knew what life’s about
(Outro)
So here’s to the summers, the chaos, the friends
The nights that never ended, i wish it never ended
2001 was fun… oh yeah, 2001 was fun
