| description | The aim of this paper is to suggest a few leads for a formal, cultural, and political study of the emo rap scene, and to start investigating some of these leads in more depth.

We then move on to analyze the correlation between drug consumption and psychological pain that lays at the core of the scene’s aesthetic, by situating it in the context of the broader history of American rap and commenting upon the aesthetic strategies that represent the emotional effects of addiction and other mental health disorders in a few chosen examples. |
