I'm a man...and I've cried over music. (pearl jam, member)

Pshh, sarcasm is totally '90s

This decade's all about irony.

Crying is just dumb. I don't lose (much) respect for dudes that do it. I just don't do it myself.

Now I'm gonna go crack a bud and get my bitch wife to give me a hummer, or else she gets another black eye.

I read your entire post, and I was not trying to squash your post. It was just my humorous attempt at your expense.

I know that there are many other ways to express yourself other than crying, and I have not called your personal preference of expression 'dumb'. Regardless of how you express yourself, there are others out there who cry (me being one of them). As an individual that only felt comfortable with crying a couple of years ago, I can honestly say I see/have seen it from your perspective. On that note, make sure she (your bitch wife) doesn't forget to fondle the balls.

Edit: My apologies for any "squashing".

I've never really had an album bring me to tears just certain songs. The one the gets me everytime is 100 years by Five for Fighting. It used to be just an ordinary song to me but then my Grandfather passed away a few years ago and he actually died at the age of 100. My family made a slideshow and put it to that song and now everytime I hear that song I get all choked up.

Good rebuttal.

I don't often cry at music, but it's not impossible.

Film has that effect on me more than music though.

The closest I've come to crying at music is on Eclipse from Dark Side of the Moon. It's freakin powerful.

Off the top my head:
"You Never Know" of Revolutionary Vol. 2 (2004) by Immortal Technique
"Pathetique Sonata" by Beethoven
"Earth Heals Herself" of Population Override (2004) by Buckethead
"Medicine Wheel" of Alaska (2005) by Between the Buried and Me

If its a movie scene thats accompanied by a some perfectly sad or happy music, my eyes can water sometimes I admit.

Never cried to music alone that I can remember though.

Usually when I hear something in my music that I really enjoy I actually scrunch my face up and inhale sharply I think. It probably makes me look really angry like I wanna fight someone. /shrug
