for me depressive music makes me glad I don't do drugs(except cocaine which I only say I do and really don't do)...given the circiumstances my life could have been much worse...and the fact that it isn't makes me happy.
also salient makes me happy...his persistance to type in english is admirable(even though some people in this forum with me included speak fluent russian)
and is pretty good for a laugh.
so за твоё здоровье salient...or as we say in swedish jävla fitta

Wow, man, you serious? I hope not, but I remember kinda feeling the same way with my past job in the grocery store (midnight shifts.) In fact, I was so unhappy there I had to leave and find something else.
I'll be lying to myself that this world we live in doesn't disappoint me sometimes (ok, more so than not.) It's just so hard to face sometimes when it seems everybody expects you to be a certain person. And in turn, I sometimes feel I don't know who I am anymore. Even with television, which I can no longer bear, is full of so much garbage where nothing seems real to me. It's like, I feel everyone's pretending in a way - they're not true to themselves (just to let ya know, this is based on the crap you will see on those damn "entertainment" shows in hollywood, etc. You know, how many people dedicate their lives to the stars they worship by buying those stupid tabloids and such). It's so out of hand...and really, who cares?
Now, all this may sound like I'm a depressed person but I think I'm just more spiritual these days.
In the end, the music I cherish so much means EVERYTHING to me. It's something I can totally lose myself in and just escape from everything. Hehe, I agree that this depressive music we all listen to here is something that heals us rather than poisoning us with negativity.
Hehe, hey LifeDepraved - I know what ya mean when you say something like being depressed keeps ya going. Sometimes we need to reflect like this. But, isn't it also true that some can argue what's the point of living if you can't be "happy" all the time? And I know it's not realistic to be happy all the time (life can be hell on earth, I know), but I think it's safe to say that the majority would wish this for themselves.

I can be happy sometimes...it disappears pretty fast though. I know I'm way different then the norm in which I rather have a frown on my face than walk around with a fake smile all day trying to get accepted. I'm actually too old to even think about that stuff anyways. I have my few friends and I consider you guys friends and that's all I really need. I sometimes get sick of people coming up to me trying to make small talk when it just comes to music. Sure I love talking about music, but is there anything else we have in common? It always leads to someone partying or being with larger groups of people whether it be at the mall or theatre...and I hate that. I'm not a large group people person...I get paranoid and really agiated. I prefer to be in a small enclosed space with either a few good friends or just in my room and listening to some tunes.
And don't get me started on the media. That is depressing. This country is depressing. I don't want to turn this into a political comment, but this country needs to stop being the world police and just keep to ourselves and take of its own people.
And knowing our president rather nuke some innocent people that have nothing to do with my country than care about his own people just makes me sick and drives me to not give a shit.
But thinking one day I can leave this place makes me go on. Music makes me go on. Kevin Smith movies make me go on. Drinking is always a good one too.
Hails and cheers!

Would be cool if say since Jonas did a guest vocal spot for a band, that the Norrmans could guest spot in a Thursday song...or not...

In regards to the original post, about the only input I can give is this:
There are some people who I think are afraid of their emotions/feelings, and are too weak to embrace them.
There isn't anything wrong with embracing feelings like despairity, depression, hopelessness, sadness; etc etc.
They're the antithesis of happiness and joy. They exist for a reason.
Just because the music might have that sort of atmosphere to it, doesn't mean that it's going to affect your daily life in a negative way. The only person that decides to let that happen is one's self.

@Kellan: i think your description pretty much could be used as a disclaimer for people who doesn't understand depressive music

it could also attract emos to katatonia...then we would have someone to beat up our sadness and depression into...and at the end of the day feel a lot better about ourselves.
