Remember the early 2000s, when pop-punk anthems blasted from every car stereo and MySpace profile?

New Found Glory wasn’t just part of that era—they helped define it, crafting hooks so infectious you’re *still* shouting them in the shower.

Here are 5 iconic NFG tracks that shaped a genre (and your teenage years), plus why they’ve stuck around like your favorite worn-out hoodie.

1. “My Friends Over You” (2002) – The Breakup Anthem We All Stole

Few songs capture post-heartache defiance better than this *Sticks and Stones* opener.

With its punchy riffs and Jordan Pundik’s signature whine, it turned “I don’t care what you think” into a generational mantra.

Fun fact: Warped Tour crowds still lose their minds the second that opening chord hits—proof that some grudges age like fine wine.

2. “Hit or Miss” (1999) – The Song That Put NFG on the Map

Originally released on their self-titled debut, this track’s 2000 re-record became pop-punk’s accidental blueprint.

Its palm-muted verses and shout-along chorus taught a million garage bands how to blend angst and melody.

Bonus points for the music video’s chaotic house-party vibe, which basically invented the “band wrecks stuff” aesthetic.

That opening scream? Iconic.

This *Catalyst* track bottled teenage existential dread into three minutes of mosh-worthy catharsis.

Lyrics like “I’m a disaster” resonated with fans then—and now, let’s be honest, still do during midnight existential spirals.

Few songs encapsulate NFG’s knack for turning high-school drama into anthems.

From its bouncy bassline to the cringe-tastic prom theme, it’s a time capsule of Y2K-era pop-punk at its most theatrical.

Pro tip: Play this at your reunion and watch former classmates air-guitar like it’s senior year.

Buried in *Catalyst*, this track’s breakneck pace and gang vocals became a live-show staple.

It’s the sonic equivalent of crowd-surfing into a stranger’s arms—terrifying, thrilling, and weirdly unifying.

Fun fact: Drummers still use this song to test their stamina (and regret it immediately).

So why do these tracks still slap 20 years later?

Because NFG didn’t just write songs—they bottled the chaotic, caffeinated energy of growing up.

Now go blast “My Friends Over You” and pretend your boss can’t hear you singing in the break room.
