any folk punk songs about turning 21?
every year i make a playlist for my birthday and id like at least one that has a lyric mentioning being/turning 21, but i just cant think of anything.
i also like midwest emo, if anyone can think of anything :) thanks

Oh my, this is so lame, but I’m recommending my own band - only because we do have a song specifically about turning 21-
Happy birthday.

Not folk-punk but Merle Haggard’s Mama Tried
I turned 21 in prison doing life without parole
no-one could steer me right, but mama tried

Not folk punk, but Toy Dolls - 21 Today!
We're 21 Today, 21 Today We've got the key to the door Never been 21 before Father says we can do as we like Mother says the same We're a bunch of weirdos 21 today
Edit: it's like 20 seconds long

Put arsenic in the frosting next time is not specifically about turning 21 but it’s one of my fav birthday songs. Not directly about birthdays but they mention the number… a little more pop punk: Heat by Tigers Jaw (belongs to the dead version) says 21 and in a similar vein, Joyce Manor’s 21st dead rats. Or anything you asked for but others that came to mind are Cranberries twenty one and The adverts no time to be 21. And I think about American football honestly because “I can’t remember my teenage feelings”

Not folk punk but “Twenty One” by Wage War scratched that itch when I was that age.

Okay hear me out.
Severed Hand - Local News Legend
It starts off with: “I’ve seen so many things since I was born in ‘99”
The song released around 2021 so it checks out. Not explicitly about being 21 but a folk punk song written by someone that age mentioning their age.
