Wheatus
Wheatus is a rock band from Northport, New York formed by Brendan Brown (vocals, guitar) in 1998.

In 1999 the band signed with Columbia Records and released their debut album, Wheatus, the following year. This album contained the band's first, and so far biggest, hit, Teenage Dirtbag (from the movie Loser).
For the bands second album, Hand Over Your Loved Ones, Shannon Harris (from Relish) joined on keyboards.

For the bands second album, Hand Over Your Loved Ones, Shannon Harris (from Relish) joined on keyboards. Due to disagreements with the record label, mostly caused by Brendan Brown's wish to self-produce the album, the album received little promotion and did not sell well.
Michael Bellar (keyboards) then joined the band and they re-released their second album (containing two new songs) on their own record label, Montauk Mantis, this time named Suck Fony. In 2005 they released their third studio album, TooSoonMonsoon, once again on their own label.
In 2005, both Mike McCabe (bass) and Michael Bellar (keyboards) left and were replaced by Nicolas diPierro and Gerard Hoffman. Then the following year, diPierro and Pete Brown left and were replaced by Matt Milligan (bass) and Kevin Garcia (drums).
Current lineup:
Brendan Brown (vocals)
Matt Milligan (bass)
Gerald Hoffman (keyboards)
Kevin Garcia (drums)
Johanna Cranitch (backing vocals)
Georgia Haege (backing vocals)

Teenage Dirtbag
Wheatus Lyrics
Her name is Noel
I have a dream about her
She rings my bell
I got gym class in half an hour
Oh, how she rocks
In Keds and tube socks
But she doesn't know who I am
And she doesn't give a damn about me
'Cause I'm just a teenage dirt bag, baby
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirt bag, baby
Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me, ooh
Her boyfriend's a dick
And he brings a gun to school
When he'd simply kick my ass if he knew the truth
He lives on my block
And he drives an IROC
But he doesn't know who I am
And he doesn't give a damn about me
'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me, ooh
Oh, yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missin'
Oh, yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missin'
Man, I feel like mold
It's prom night and I am lonely
'Lo and behold
She's walkin' over to me
This must be fake
My lip starts to shake
How does she know who I am?
And why does she give a damn about?
"I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby
Come with me Friday, don't say maybe
I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby, like you, ooh"
Oh, yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missin'
Oh, yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missin', oh, oh

Dear Future Self,
I have to admit my expectations for you are pretty low right now, but I hope sometime in the future that will have changed. Just so you know, I'm procrastinating right now with english which is currently the bane of my existence (malec for life btw). Things are pretty mediocre. We've still yet to come out of the never ending pandemic and your last year of school did not at all go how you planned (I hope I didn't speak too soon with my final exams just around the corner). You probably still don't have the rest of your life sorted but THAT'S OK. I just hope you take some time out every day for the little things, going macadamia picking, walks with your mum, standing still in the garden letting your hair blow like you're the main character (it's weird I know don't judge). I hope you do a little less of that, worrying about what others think. Heck, right now I'm worrying about what you're thinking and we're technically the same person? Philosophers reply in the comments. Anyways, you're probably judging so there's no point worrying. I hope you're doing what you love, with the people that you love. Btw: If you haven't found your tilney yet perhaps lower your standards a little.
Here are some songs you need to check out, check out their whole discographies while you're at it.
Teenage Dirtbag (Wheatus)

(26) 500 days of Summer (Expectations VS Reality) - YouTube
Before you pass away from second-hand (or first-hand?) cringe I will end with a few of quotes that I currently dig.
"We didn't realise we were making memories we just knew we were having fun" Winnie The Pooh
"All those moments will be lost in time like pause tears in rain," Roy Batty from Bladerunner (still your favourite movie?)
check the scene out again:(26) Blade Runner - Final scene, "Tears in Rain" Monologue (HD) - YouTube
Regards,
(with a (un)healthy dose of self-deprecation)
you
