Are Ayu's Lyrics Emo?

[Coelacanth]

I don't think so.

Ayu doesn't:

1: Use words that nobody has ever heard of in a song
2: Come up with metaphors that include random everyday objects and an organ in the body
3: Express extreme confusion and restlessness

Anyway, the 'emo' genre that most of you are thinking of, is actually not considered emo by some. It wasn't invented in this decade.

Her song titles aren't very lengthy either.
