Sunday Music: Emo Kids Going Sober In Song (w/ Future Teens)

Future Teens have a new album out, and the self-described “bummer pop” band has a real gem in “BYOB” about struggling with sobriety. I feel like this is exactly what emo kids getting older is supposed to sound and feel like. A couple of lines from the lyrics with the video below:

If you bring your old bullshit

You’ll just be your own bad luck

You can be your own burden

Won’t be worth betting on

…

No one’s fault, but it’s my problem

Feeling best when I feel nothing

How long have I been at the bottom?

Feeling best when I feel nothing

Still rolling out of bed each morning

Feeling best when I feel nothing

Taking wins where I can get ’em

Feeling bad, at least it’s something
