Tune my guitar to sad

This phrase is used to either be emo or to mock an emo kid. It describes the classic emo musician and poignantly mocks the ever-so-sad emo song.

A: I ran out of black eyeliner this morning, and my new hair isn't as black as I wanted it.
B: This is such a cruel world...
Bystander: Aw, I'm gonna tune my guitar to sad.
