Contemporary Poetry Review
Sell Outs and Stanzas: The Rockstar as Poet

It makes me feel old when this is called emo.
Panic! At the Disco- I Write Sins Not Tragedies
and I'm thinking of somehow educating the teenagers
THIS IS EMO
and listening to the Get Up Kids and Braid and Cursive
THIS IS NOT EMO
(holds up black eyeliner)
EMO REQUIRES CRYING, CRYING MAKES EYELINER RUN, BOYS WHO CRY DON'T WEAR EYELINER

(obvious goth problems aside, but goth sucks more now than it did ten years ago, and that's pretty bad)



I love Mirah.
