To be honest, I completely understand why people don't like Emilie Autumn. It's a really weird combination of music, and very uh... "angry girl" music.
To be honest, I think this is the part that has the most to do with my distaste for it…I went through the “angry girl” phase, Hot Topic and morbid poetry and all. I eventually shed the Hot Topic shit, but the morbid poetry stayed behind…she reminds me of me too much, actually, and I think that’s a huge reason I don’t like her
I used to write a lot of music during those times as well, and again—I swear I’m not trying to put myself up on a pedestal—her music reminds me of it. Not the technicality or talent, but the subject matter, the minor key tones, the lyrics. There was a time I loved anything that screamed “hate” and I guess I don’t want to go there now.
Like I said before, Cole showed her to me and I wasn’t “in the mood”…
Anyway. Now that you know my life story and all I’ll go back to listening to Devin Townsend with his comforting, meaningless lyrics.
