In 2026, a wave of albums that helped define the sound of the mid-2010s turns 10 years old. From Panic! At The Disco’s genre-hopping dominance and blink-182’s post-hiatus rebirth to scene-shaping releases by Pierce The Veil, Modern Baseball, The 1975, and Waterparks, these records captured a moment when alternative music splintered, evolved, and exploded in new directions.
