How do you think emo lyrics stack up to the greats of literature?

WHY CANT I

Sunny Day Real Estate > your favorite emo band

Snowing is pretty great.

Yeah, pasty white dudes singing contrived, immature garbage about teen angst while perpetuating a fake culture of elitism and "trve emo" is probably the definition of Veeky Forums.

> unironically liking Emo music
That's some next level numale shit lol

don't know if motion city soundtrack counts as emo, but these lyrics are pure poetry:

You're the echoes of my everything
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night
You're the laziness of afternoon
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom
You're the leaky sink of sentiment
You're the failed attempts I never could forget
You're all the metaphors I can't create
To comprehend this curse that I call love

SEE THE SUNSPOTS IN YOUR EEEEEEEEEYES

fuck my fucking shit life fuck this shit i'm too old for this website now

>SDRE
>Better than Mineral
>Better than Snowing
>Better than Indian Summer

more like pure garbage honestly man

emo is great but not because of the literary merit

awful, get out of here and read poetry that's not on tumblr.

Most of the only good writing to exist was pumped out in the 60s and 70s for music.

>inb4 wrong generation

Is this something we can all agree on?

No, crunkcore is the absolute worst.

It's not the worst, but the thing is that it's definitely bad and millions of people consider it a breeding ground for geniuses and masterpieces. It's the most hateable.

Not while Christian Rap exists. Christian music in general is really bad unless you mean traditional stuff.

not true, the best writing is from the beginning of the century

the early november
I can make a mess like nobody's business
ace enders and a million different people
Jimmy eat world
dashboard confessional
Rufio
the starting line
saosin
senses fail
hidden in plain view
second hand serenade
circa survive
go crash audio
Bayside
