If anyone (probably Rocky or Gowi but I've gotten some great recs from totally random people too) could rec me stuff up the alley of Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Crime In Stereo, Touche Amore, etc., that would be great. _________________
Looking for more music I have never heard before. Anything but Punk/Punk Rock music will be great. Just things you think I would like or seem to relate to me you know. :)
Maybe either of these, you may well know at least the first, though:

Gowie knows a ton more about this genre than me, but I can toss a couple things

Rocky and Gowi had some awesome recommendations! I think you'll love these albums, too:
I want some rap...pretty new to the genre, but something more intellectual (not sure if that's the right word). Something with really great production. 😄

These are all pretty standard / popular / whatever albums but if you're new to the genre that's a good place to start.
I could list way more but these seem to match what you want maybe idk _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.
Hard to choose a last one, but here's one that lyrically I'd say is towards what you're going for and is a great, great album, there's just a lot I'd throw here (Run-DMC, Liquid Swords, College Dropout, Speakerboxx, Black On Both Sides, and Jurassic Five were all also seriously considered here, and 36 Chambers, Ready To Die, It Takes a Nation, etc, only aren't here because I don't think they're what you're after, so much):
Actually, Cursive have always reminded me a little bit of Brand New. Well, not so much the band as Jesse Lacey. Tim Kasher's voice is pretty similar in my mind, and his lyrics have a similarity to them as well. Witty and cynical. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.

Great recs from babyBlueSedan there. Totally seconding all of them
here's a couple of my faves that I think fit what you might be looking for:

The Cold Vein by Cannibal Ox
Just gorgeous in every way. Masterful production, thoughtful lyrics, really unique voiceful delivery, the GOAT.
Selling Live Water by Sole
stream-of-consciousness modern-life cynicism in the form of hip-hop? yes please. (also killer production)

Fantastic Damage by El-P
More El-P production excellence with lyricism just as likely to be emotionally confessional as it is to cite classic sci-fi. Basically perfect
The Many Faces Of Oliver Hart by Oliver Hart
one of the least cool hip-hop albums you will ever hear, and also one of my favorites :p (also hey Ben I think you'd like this one)

Ceci N'est Pas Un Disque by TTC
I speak no French so I'll assume whatever they're saying is super intelligent. In any case the production is superb. Also Norman Bates approved
Celestial Clockwork by Illogic
this guy likes big words, emotional stories of the implications of teen pregnancy, and sampling The Who. Make of that what you will
