If you sorround youself with something it pretty soon becomes all you know. For me the time In my life when I started feeling depressed was exactly the same time I started listening to depressing music. I'm not sure to this day which came first.
that actually makes complete sense. i always listened to old rock n' roll music growing up, and the only thing close to new music i listened to was 80's pop and rock.. and some 90's bands.. it wasn't until i was 14 that i really got into tool.. then it opened up my eyes to all kind of depressing music. but i listened to tool when i was younger but hated it.. i was rather depressed but never tried to really understand myself till i was around 14 when everything was coming together yet falling apart.. then i listened to tool and i started to understand... and in some ways felt better like "something" actually new what was going on.. i've been listening to depressing music sense i was that age.. and relating to it.. its the only music that i actaully really get.. and i love it, i wouldn't say its holding me back from moving on and letting go of the depressing things, cause if anything it open's up my eyes and makes me question things, makes me think about things i don't think i would have thought about other wise. but when i do get really depressed, and lets say i'm listening to sad/happy by cold.. then it just gets me thinking about a situation like that one.. thus making me more depressed.. so it helps when i'm in my normal not happy.. but not in a killing myself type mood.. but when i'm depressed it just keeps me on that level.. doesn't make me what to die.. doesn't make me happy... it just keeps me mellow and sane..

does that make anysense.. or did you just read lots of spam?
