Let’s face it: After a breakup fueled by leaving someone out of our Myspace top 8, we’d all sneak these lyrics into our profile page with a few pixelated GIFs if we could. The most overdramatic emo contribution to the surprise deluxe drop of Machine Gun Kelly ’s scene-stealing album Tickets To My Downfall proudly sassed its way through guest spots from YUNGBLUD and the Used ’s Bert McCracken. Lyric: “I’m not mad, I just cover up my temper/You’re supposed to love me better, baby/So put me in a body bag” Confronting the demons that “ god save me, but don’t drown me out ” drugs itself up to avoid, this track will make a lasting mark as an emo moment when we needed it the most. Lyric: “Hide self-deprecation up your sleeve and self-serving friends who leave when you are sinking”Ī late addition to our 2020 catalog, YUNGBLUD ’s sophomore record, Weird!, is packed to the rafters with classic emo lyrics, but none are as poignant as the neon title track. And it threw us back into the depths of our emo phase. A lot’s changed since we got our hands on this record, but its immersive retro rock styles have kept us distracted from the dumpster fire of 2020.
Delivered in a morose rock style fitting of country-emo, their album Sex, Death & The Infinite Void gave us several quote-worthy emo tracks back in July. We know a perfect AIM away message when we see one, Creeper. Lyric: “In the dark, I’ll creep to your heart/And soon, you’ll drink the poison, too” Read more: Billie Eilish’s reaction to losing 100,000 followers is what you’d expect Creeper – “Poisoned Heart” 2020 had to do something right, after all. In celebration of the songs that have kept us going throughout this year and the output that’s fueled the spirit of the emo revival, here’s a collection of the most dramatically emo lyrics this year has gifted us. But at least our music didn’t disappoint on returning classic emo vibes to our 2020. It’s hard to believe we had high hopes for this year back when it all began. The start of the Rawring ’20s- a decade that we anticipated would be a glittering revival of the golden age of emo, complete with painfully skinny jeans and hanging out at the mall as part of a cultural tradition-hasn’t gone completely to plan.
