Do you still enjoy the depressing music you used to listen to once you became happy?
>not starting out and becoming progressively more depressed and miserable as time goes onyou're doing it backwards
>once you became happy
>>131397801*starting out happy
>>131397790>became happy Yeah right. Became happy. This dude is going to say "became happy"
>>131397790dunno lol never became happy
>>131397802This
>>131397790I never really became happy but I do feel like I matured past miserable music. Wallowing in self pity feels pathetic now
>>131397801This
>>131399217>not doing something anymore because someone made you feel bad about itThat's the opposite of maturing
>I suffer in Connecticut
>>131397790No, I can't stand sad music for a long period of time
>>131397790I prefer depressing music when I'm happy, and happy music when I'm depressed
>>131402149Interesting. Why?
>>131397790Sure, I still enjoy Cure and Dino Jr. I recall though finding Red House Painters "Mistress" pretty cringe when listening in ripe old age.
>>131397790Yeah but I can't completely drown in it like I used to. You really start to realize constant negative emotion in music is just as destructive as surrounding yourself by other negative bullshit
Yeah... but then again it's not the stereotypical "Oh I feel like shit" depressing music either. More like "Que sera, sera" depressing music. I've read about the emotion/feeling that Russians call "toska", and I guess that fits:>“Toska - noun /ˈtō-skə/ - Russian word roughly translated as sadness, melancholia, lugubriousness.>"No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.” tl;dr: yes, but then again I don't think their music is overly depressing either.
