Seventeen Forever

Metro Station’s “Seventeen Forever” (2008) is a synth-pop track that captures the carefree rebellion of youth. With its catchy electro beats and teenage-romance lyrics (singer Trace Cyrus muses about staying young in love and never growing up), the song resonated with the MySpace generation. Though not as big as their hit “Shake It,” it became a fan-loved anthem on the Warped Tour scene, encapsulating the sugar-rush of pop-punk inflected dance music and the fleeting feeling of being seventeen and invincible.
