Taking the same method, Daniels took a look at individual songs and ranked them by their emo words. It should come as no surprise that MCR's The Black Parade comes out on top, but it is a little surprising to see some emo-rappers come out ahead of bands such as Dashboard and FOB. Average Of Album's Track Lyrics That Are Emo:ġ9% - My Chemical Romance: The Black Paradeġ5% - Taking Back Sunday: Tell All Your Friendsġ5% - Juice Wrld: Goodbye & Good Riddanceġ1% Lil Peep: Come Over When You're Soberġ1% Fall Out Boy: From Under The Cork Treeġ0% Dashboard Confessional: The Places You Have Come To Fear The Mostĩ% Panic! At The Disco: A Fever You Can't Sweat Out Using this same method, Daniels took a look at how emo rappers stacked up against some of our favorite emo bands such as MCR and Dashboard Confessional-and the results may surprise you. 'I don't really care if you cry/On the real, you shoulda never lied/Shoulda saw the way she looked me in my eyes/She said, baby, I am not afraid to die/Push me to the edge/All my friends are dead' *Common words that do not generally evoke meaning such as 'the' and 'a', pronouns, prepositions, and basic verbs are removed from calculations. In order to compare some of our favorite bands to some of the biggest emo rappers, Daniels calculated the percent of each song's words that were associated with sadness or fear.įor example, 33% of the words in the chorus of Lil Uzi Vert's 'XO Tour Llif3' fall under the fear/sadness list which places it pretty high on the emo scale. It's an emerging subgenre of music that got Matt Daniels over at The Pudding thinking, 'Who has the most emotionally vulnerable lyrics, emo rappers or Dashboard Confessional?' RAP GODS-IS IT AN EMO LYRIC OR A HIP-HOP LYRIC?Įmo-rap artists such as Juice Wrld are quickly gaining popularity by mixing old-school emo lyrics over a hip hop beat.
