Is Juice WRLD from the Romanticism age?

 Hi reader,

The romanticism era started as a way for people to put emphasis on their emotions, and promote that emotion through art. Much of the art and ideas during the time were about the rejection of ideas of order, calmness, and balance, and one modern-day artist keeps the same ideals with art. That artist is named Juice WRLD and his art, music, is primarily focused on emotion-based lyrics and talks about his life through his songs. Songs like Empty, Feeling, Maze, Legends, and countless others all share similar themes of the emotions people go through when losing a person, or being in depression. His music allows people that are going through similar emotions to connect with his music because a lot of time he is going through many struggles and emotions that people feel every day. For example, in his song Empty, he says that his “world revolves around a black hole” and that “same black hole” is in the “place of [his] soul,” this causes him to feel “Empty.” These lines from this song are very impactful and emotional to the listener, and many people are able to connect with this type of song because people are able to cope with their own emotional troubles. This idea of emotion art or in Juice’s case songwriting is exactly what many romanticism thinkers promoted during the 1800’s, and Juice WRLD is a modern day representation of this movement.
