Many rock bands in the 90's wrote songs about love and betrayal. Songs like "I Walk Alone" and "In The End" are still popular. The 90's were a time where words of betrayal met rock music. This is my favorite decade of punk rock music. As I was growing up, I could relate to most of these lyrics
- Unwritten Law
