There will always be a market for angsty, tear-inducing, fists balled up in vindictive anger-type songs. Blasting emo music is not just for adolescents going through their first break-up. Or for rebels not wanting to go home before curfew. Heartbreak and feelings. Dissatisfaction and frustration are parts of the human condition. As I learned during my post-graduate program, these desires are very creational. We were made to want something good, something better - perfection. When we face that lack of perfection, we're left with a void that wants filling. How will we fill it?
This song stirs up those angsty feelings of 15-year-old me who just wants to be cool, fit in, and have that senior boy finally notice me.
