Slightly related. One of my friends was trying to find music to listen to on my iPod about a half hour ago and he was like, "WHY DON'T YOU HAVE ANY HAPPY MUSIC?!?!?! D: D: D: D: D:"
And then I realized that: 1. I don't really have any music that is "happy" (even the stuff I find happy is apparently dismal to the rest of the world); 2. "Happy" music doesn't do for me what metal/industrial/etc does; and 3. Fuck the term happy! It's too subjective to be used broadly in terms of emotions inspired by music.
ah yes, Neurosis. My ex got me into them. I, at first, thought they were stupid, but now every time I listen to them, it feels like some primal instinct is awake inside me, ready to start some primeval mating dance or something. Especially the song Cleanse. 15 minutes of insane drum beats, incredible beat...it just takes me in and then spits me out.
Enemy of the Sun is especially jarring.
And yes, I am answering this post with a Hanson icon. I am metal, I am pop. I can't makeup my mind.
