1.story of my life - social distortion
2.wasted youth - meatloaf
3.teenage bonehead - the queers
4.roots radical - rancid
5.forgotten rebel - the virus

reasons:

1. story of my life is the story of my life so far, the lyrics match up almost 95%

2. wasted youth is what me and my friends have been called since we were about 13 mostly for our "rebel" ways (asking questions and challenging beliefs and fighting nazis)

3. teenage bonehead, i am a teenage bonehead, madly in love with a girl who doesnt like me

4. i give em the boot stick to my roots im radical

5. forgotten rebel - the virus it just kind of fits
