Re-imagining Trump Tweets as an Emo Song

February 14, 2017 Alan Cross 1 Comment

If you’re an avid reader of Trump tweets, you may have noticed something familiar about them. With their expressions of TERRIBLE! and SAD! and DISASTER!, they can be interpreted as a little, well, emo.

A band called Super Deluxe picked up on the same vibe. They turned a bunch of Trump tweets into an emo song that would have sounded just fine on the radio about 15 years ago.
