Music: The EMOtional Playlist

You’ve probably heard the term “emo” being used to describe someone who seems to dwell in angst; emo is short for the word emotional. Emo people, similar to Cancerians tend to be extremely emotional and introverted. The emo lifestyle became mainstream in the early 2000’s but has been around for way longer, it’s basically a goth subculture. 

Feelings of anger, lost, regret, sadness, heartache and/or etc. can all be very difficult to get past and it oftentimes feels impossible in the moment, but with the right resources and self-motivation it definitely can be done.

Lifehouse was scheduled to be on tour last year with the Goo Goo Dolls but the tour got postponed due to Covid. Anyway, since I didn’t celebrate their 20th anniversary last year with a “best of post” I decided to do it this year…check out all of my favorite Lifehouse Songs to date below:
