Eugh, computer...

I kinda just remembered I haven't posted for a while, and that the one before was just a review, and the one before that was some stuff I drew and didn't take any effort... so I wanted to post something. But then I couldn't think of what. Most of my ideas were either too stupid or depressing. So I decided to talk about how stupid and depressing my life is. But that's a stupid and idea.

hm...

well...

I listen to stupid and depressing music for several reasons. Mostly I like the sound of it. Happy, upbeat, and catchy music only goes so far. When your in a mediocre to downright bad mood, you just can't stand the stuff. Depressing music contains all of the loud, obnoxious songs like "Iris", "How to Save a Life", or "Marching Bands of Manhatten" (by Death Cab for Cutie, a very sad, slow, agonizing song). You can always turn to depressing music for anything. Coldplay played basically all sad songs until their Viva la Vida album (though Viva la Vida itself is something of a sobering song, poor king) which had tons of upbeat, catchy songs (which we'll get to later.) The Fray, so far, have like one actually happy, toe-tapping song, and the lyrics are still depressing. Matchbox Twenty's Happiest song is about the end of the world! And it's awesome! But seriously, people write music because they have an emotion to get rid of. I feel better when I'm sad if I play some angry scary music. But I'm less likely to want to get rid of a happy emotion, so I'm more likely to do something else. That's not to say people aren't expressing themselves when they play happy music. Happy music is for fun. But, going back, anything from apathy to depression warrants music that isn't upbeat and and major-chord'ed. I listen to something that agrees with me. Let's face it, catchy songs just get annoying after a while. But, rockish, emo, and sad songs you can listen to over and over again, progessively putting you in a worse and worse mood.

And I don't listen to rap, and I'm not sure what emotion it expresses. (Besides "I like to beat up people, steal cars, bad words, and Women.)

Anyways, besides rap:
rock-either really really sad, or really really angry, and sometimes, but less often, kinda upbeat
pop- usually just upbeat
techno- is it EVER sad?
jazz- pure, simple, bliss
blues- technically jazz most the time, but sad.
country- country
classical (like Bach and stuff)- whatever it seems was on their mind
film scores- whatever mood the movie is in (duh!)
polka- um... that's not fair, I don't listen to polka.
gospel- asking the lord for help, either really hapy or really sad
