Who the hell needs talent and creativity anymore? Just use a few dumb Emo lyrics and you won´t even need colours or a nice concept. Be uncreative, be stereotyped, be without any statement and your work will definetely become a favourite.
What I like to say is: Many people at DA use lyrics written by Emo bands. Hey, so do I. But all these people put a lot of work, a little love and a small piece of their soul in their poems, pictures and avatars. They look for a nice background, they choose the colours carefully and they think about a concept, about a special statement within their work.
I don´t think that these people are worth being overlooked because of other people using popular Emo lyrics with the result of getting all the attention.
Being creative doesn´t mean copying popular words on a white background. Being creative doesn´t mean putting a blinking smiley next to the words and calling it "individual".
Being creative means giving people the chance to take a peek into your soul by creating more than just a few black letters on a white screen...
hmm... really? i haven't noticed... I thought it was crappy flavor of the month anime that did this...

I couldn't agree more... Every poem I've ever read on here has been exaggeratedly and sometimes ridiculously emo, and even artwork is frequently based of emo lyrics of some kind, because it's so popular.
Nice avatar
Gosh it is so difficult to find nice av's to fav in the gallery these days There's hardly any decent ones worth a fav because they're just so pointlessly stupid, and not even an avatar!
a dreadful font, and a red background...No! DUH.
I love emo lyrics, but i do agree with you here, its silly that most people dont even put time in..My avatars take me about an hour, possibly two if they're really complex, and then you get a guy with "this is how I feel" n a scribble ..Tis not art!

i understand what you're saying. that's what alot of people are doing around here now days. they don't even take the time to make the picture or avatar look nice, as long as it has a few lyrics from a popular emo song they get alot of favs i fav things for the quality and because i like that song it's after. but if it looks completely like crap i don't fav it usually
