The Used, Dashboard Confessional and Other Emo Lyrics That Broke Your Heart | AP COUNTDOWN

#emo #sadsongs #altpress

When this style of music was first coming out, “emo” was saddled with a handful of negative connotations. It was generally looked down upon by the mainstream who saw the budding genre as distasteful, whiny teenage angst. But for those of us who clutched these albums close to our chests and put ourselves to sleep with lyrics that sympathized with the pain we were going through, emo was much more than that.

You may have moved on from these records. Your taste in music may have shifted entirely. But your heart will always respond to these words.

Damn now i gotta go stream the entire discography of The Used

[OriginalSketch]

This could just be 10 randomly chosen Dashboard lyrics and it would still work.

If anything that I remember that was EVERYWHERE (on Tumblr, IG, FB, etc.) was Pierce the Veil’s “…my love for you is bulletproof, but you’re the one who shot meh”

[katieKrKmo]

Even if you haven’t been in a relationship, this lyrics literally make you cry 😭😭😭😭

[AdamBrunson]

Armor for sleep is still one of my favorites. Dream to make believe always puts me in a mood.

[LillianAredhel]

A lot of The Used and The Fall of Troy stuff was pretty cry worthy

[Apollyon_Rev]

Came for The Used, "Blue and Yellow."

[famouslastwordsHR]

I've never gotten through "Hate Me" even once without crying. Just too real.

[darryljander]

How is “Don’t call me peanut” not on this list!? 😭

[teensupreme]

I only only 50% of these songs and that 50% did break my heart, but come on MCR broke a lot of people's hearts too with there music too. So why isn't at least 1 of there songs in here

The caption was so true... Now those who are teasing me are using these music for nostalgic/remembering their teenage past purposes. Like wtf? Do you guys remembered when you are telling me "Yuck" and "Eww" about the taste of music i love?

btw, my favorite emo music is "In Your Eyes by The Used" !!!

[banlambyrsat]

Say we can Fly should be included in this vid.

[Luzruem]

this hit me hard in the nostalgia feels.. damn alt press. i am at work. obviously not working if i'm on here, but still.

[PainRom]

You forgot Lifehouse songs but I have to admit it's a good ranking.
