It's mainly so that I can sort of start from scratch, and figure out what I enjoy in its basest form. If I stuck to being influenced by genres, I honestly wouldn't know what to do. That wouldn't work too well for me lol.

If I am walking down the local high street with my cans on then I automatically assume a 'cooler than thou' persona when I listen to something upbeat and bass heavy. I sort of exist in a bubble and pity those around me because they can't hear what I am hearing. Of course it is irrational and pathetically self serving but I have never been able to shake off that side of my ego that presumes I am the only person in the world that listens to certain music.
There are certain passages in music that I wish others would 'get' when I listen to them but you have to accept that one man's meat is another's poison and beating yourself up about it is pointless. Songs that build rhythmically into big crescendo's really do it for me whatever genre. They feel like a catharsis; even a metamorphosis. You reside in one particular emotional state and emerge a different person. Uplifted, hopeful and revitalised. I guess I (and most others I would imagine) use music as equilibrium by proxy. If someone else feels the way I do in the music they make then perhaps I am not as ****ed up as I think I am.

That also applies to good music. I will think I have discovered my soon to be favorite band (while there good I am really just in the process of getting over that honeymoon phase)

I actually have had songs that I would pick on as my walking theme music and put it on repeat just for that specific reason.

When I was younger music seemed to hit me this way. As got older I understood that music was modifying my moods, I learned that if I was depressed I listened uplifting tunes, if I was high strung I listened to something mellow, and if I was pissed, hell with it. Some good ol thrash metal will do the trick. Anger is the easiest emotion to recover from IMO, it can just lead to other more destructive emotions, if not handled properly.

At other times when I'm feeling less emotional, even the saddest song has little effect on my feelings, and I can listen, unperturbed. Quote:
"Everyone I know goes away in the end." Okay, that made me cry the first time I heard it, but not the second time I listened to the song. Johnny Cash - "Hurt" (Cover)

Lately I've been listening to screamo on the way home from school. I have these stints for a couple of weeks where I'll sleep more than I usually do and still feel tired, as well as feel run down and all around ****ty. Screamo tends to fit my mood quite well. I usually listen to The Saddest Landscape. They're by far my favorite. The song that usually gets me is The Temptation That is You because of how it progresses and how his voice changes. What a song.
Usually in the day time it's Carissa's Wierd or Empire! Empire!. |
