Top 10 Angry Break Up Songs

Because sometimes a break up will fill you with rage instead of tears

I take a special kind of joy out of break up songs that avoid the “You broke my heart how will I ever survive” narrative in favor of the “I fucking hate you and also you sucked in bed” route. (There’s nothing wrong with the former, of course, it’s just that I enjoy being bitter and hostile a lot more than I enjoy curling up in a ball in the corner crying my eyes out.)
That said, here’s a list of my top 10 songs to drunkenly shout-sing to when I get my heart broken:

10. Hate (I Really Don’t Like You) – Plain White T’s

 

Hate is a strong word
But I really, really, really don’t like you
And now that it’s over
I don’t even know what I liked about you

I kind of forgot that the Plain White T’s existed once “Hey There Delilah” was dropped off radio’s constantly looped playlist, but this song is an absolute gem when it comes to angry break ups. Its message is short, sweet, and simple: bye, bitch. Bye.
