Craig Schuftan, author of Hey! Nietzsche! Leave Them Kids Alone, examines the contradictions inherent in the emo style of music. He discusses how both David Bowie and My Chemical Romance inspired "a mass movement based on the idea that everyone is a unique and special individual."

Who knew Lord Byron had something in common with My Chemical Romance? Armed with an encyclopaedic knowledge of pop culture, Craig Schuftan traces the history of romanticism in rock and roll, drawing comparisons between 19th century poetic giants and the heroes of indie, glam and emo music.
In this talk with Zan Rowe, Schuftan explores the links between music, philosophy and literature and why nobody wants to own up to being emo. - Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Craig Schuftan has been presenting "The Culture Club," a history of modern art and ideas, on triple J's morning program since 2001. He graduated from Sydney's National Art School in 1997.
