15 Best Rock Songs About Growing Up

15. Look Back And Laugh - Minor Threat

A staple of the American punk rock scene in the 1980's, Minor Threat's music was loud and brash, which resonated with the restless youth of the time perfectly. Moreover, their music was incredibly human; the type of stuff most would find relatable in some way or another.

This song in particular deals with the painful issue of loss of friendship. The lyrics detail the contemplation of young man who has fallen out with good friend(s), and attempts to move forward while the pain eats away at him. He goes onto say that while people in this type of situation may see it as a lost cause, we owe it to ourselves to at least make an effort to make things right, and that hopefully one day; we'll be able to take a look back at what happened and simply laugh it off.

The musical composition itself is a little rough around the edges, which is to be expected from the punk genre. However, what this track lacks in crisp neatness, it more than makes up for with its raw, uninhibited emotion. Definitely the kind of song one could listen to blow off a bit of steam.
