I'm joined by fellow therapist and buddy Chris White for another Emo Diaries, a segment-based show that gets in its feelings about one great emo song per episode. This week, it's "Adam's Song" by Blink-182 -- and yes, we know they are not an emo band. We unpack how humor, adolescent angst, and grief intersect in the band’s work, and how this anthemic ballad helped normalize talking about depression. Expect music nerd tangents, production breakdowns, and psychological insight into why dark lyrics can be healing.
