What makes some songs sound depressing/happy to me without that being intended?
(I'm going to put a ****load of examples here for comparison sake, just skim through the songs a bit)
I tend to like really happy and aggresive music. What makes something like this sound (Melodic hardcore) really depressing to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=angFeKA9CAg It takes a lot more effort for me to like songs like that. Yet This Hardcore Punk song makes me happy, even when it's not necessarily happy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmgWNTsrr68. But I like this Hardcore Punk song more because it does sound happy to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KeplwDwEB4 Why does this poppy pop punk song by a metalcore band sound really happy to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN4IIgFz93k yet this equally poppy song by the same band sad and depressing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn-6eOxnEMI Why does this aggresive song with no sign of a happy sound make me happy(especially the first part): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBIK0cIbREI But this equally aggresive song by the same band give me a sad vibe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLvDU9STQ2Y Happy metalcore song to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gnO-YrRAQY Sad to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtQMBn25WmU Happy Punk Rock to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgpa7wEAz7I sad sounding punk rock/hardcore punk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifq24lljbQM Happy Thrash metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=863fYC-Mb_Q Sad Thrash Metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT516h7QwA4 Than there's songs that manage to sound really aggresive and happy to me at the same time, which I tend to really like. This sounds happy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFxVmRi-ZQo This sounds happy to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb3vdKs_Wg4 This sounds happy to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5DDxQCATp8 This sounds really happy to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjKA8f30Fxg Even these depressing lyrics seem to not stop me from thinking this sounds happy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1zl_xMcIRs What is it that makes these aggresive songs sound happy to me, yet other aggressive songs not? also, my mother, (except for the direct hit song) Can't differentiate between any of this. It all sounds depressing to her. If it has distortion guitars like that, it sounds depressing to her, especially if it involves screaming(but I only let her hear the instrumental parts anyways because if I let her hear the screaming her ears will bleed). |
