Feeling stressed? Want to get some of that aggression out? Here are 11 songs and 11 aggressive moods they speak to. Don’t take yo’ anger out through real drama! “Let the music take control.” – DJ Khaled

1. When your archenemy won’t leave you the gosh darn alone…

“I Don’t F**k With You” by Big Sean

You probably know this song by now. The title speaks for itself. We’re keeping it clean, but find the unedited version on YouTube.

2. When you need a song that’s catchy and has screaming in it, so that you can also scream while mildly enjoying yourself…

“Want U Back” by Cher Lloyd

For some screams or whatever those sounds are, see: every ten seconds.

3. When someone’s trying to use you for something, be it your Management 100 notes or your sick private jet…

Ugh I get so frustrated when people try to use me for my private jet!! #icant

4. When you = the green-eyed monster…

“Girlfriend” by Avril Lavigne

Avril is green with envy too, so you can shout about it together.

5. When someone is trying way too hard and it’s really annoying…

“No Flex Zone” by Rae Sremmurd

They just need to stop.

6. When the h8rs try to get you down…

“Who Said” by Hannah Montana

I threw in this TBT because Hannah is a timeless inspiration.

7. When you’re the only person who knows that the girl everyone thinks is hot is actually just not…

“Roses” by OutKast

A rose by any other name would STILL STINK.

8. When you catch someone lying to you…

“FU” by Miley Cyrus

Hannah Montana’s alter ego is also serving up some inspiration.

9. When you’re doing great despite everybody who doubted you…

“Look At Me Now” by Chris Brown, Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes

Side note: Please watch Chris Brown dance.

10. When someone is being a negative noodle but you’re just trying to have fun…

“B**ch Don’t Kill My Vibe” by Kendrick Lamar

Why are they specifically targeting your vibe and trying to kill it?

11. When you’ve officially decided that someone is no longer your problem…

“99 Problems” by Jay-Z

A true classic. 

 

Hopefully at least a few of these songs can help you to get out your aggression. Now go and be ~free~
