about
Emo: Short for emotional, it represents both a musical and aesthetic style that emphasizes awareness of mental health and expressing negative emotions as an outlet.
Moe: A Japanese term for feminine cuteness, related to anime and harajuku-style fashion that is popular in Tokyo. Describes a girl who evokes feelings of protectiveness.
Put together, this pun of a song musically and lyrically experiments with a hybrid of genres that normally don't go together: Kawaii Pop, Progressive Rock, and Emo Metal. This song became both an outlet and a source of comic relief to Jojo, for years of depression, particularly in grieving of other musicians whose lives ended in suicide.

Lyrics:
E!
Mo!
Moe!
Emo Moe!
uwu and Rawr! are things I say unironically, uwu!
That's too cute, but to tell the truth,
I am too sad for you! It's true!
No matter how I look at it,
It's all your fault I'm popular!
(Domo Arigato!)
Your life matters,
I'm sorry that that is a controversial fact!
You may call me...
Emo Moe!
My music is taking over the world,
But I'm an adorable girl,
Kawaii Emo Moe desu,
Nande?
Why would I mind what my haters might say?
Watashi wa
The princess of prog rock,
A pastel goth,
A cringy post-ironic punk,
Who suffers from Chuunibyou,
And watches too much Anime,
Can you blame me?
Every time that I close my eyes,
I picture suicide...
Oww...
And even when I open them,
I think of it again!
Hahaha... MAKE IT STOP!
I cannot do this all by myself,
I need somebody to help!
(Hari Jojo desu!)
Sometimes I feel like I don't matter,
That's the craziest shit right there!
It's not fair...
Emo Moe!
I'm gay and transgender,
But I don't really feel like trying to explain.
I tried to die so many times,
And most of them were while listening to Linkin!
Maladdy and Malaisee,
All of my friends of Tumblr worry about me on my worst days.
I feel like they all saved my life,
By caring about me for even a second!
E!
Mo!
Moe!
Emo Mo-eee!?
(Band Solo)
Emo Moe!
Jojo Holly took over the whole world,
Even though she is just a girl!
Kawaii Emo Moe desu,
Naze!?
Why should I care what my haters will say?
If anybody needs me,
I will be in my room,
Tripping on LSD
By Myself,
Which once again reminds me of
The thing that I am trying
To put off of my mind!
Aurora Aura, owo!
Emo Moe!
Haha, haha!
