Notes thy Romeo would heareth One of the most famous pieces of literature Romeo and Juliet, depicts a young man falling in love with a young woman but she is a member of a rival family. The families are very warring and there is a lot of drama involved. This is why if Romeo had access to today's technology he would probably listen to sad rap songs.

(Creator, 0:52) Romeo was probably thinking this in the moment where he and Julliet were kissing over and over
