Favorite Mood in Music

[hibernal_dream]

Melancholy/depression actually should have nothing to do with metal. It implies somewhat monotonous and dull music that slips you into a coma, something i'd associate more with Coldplay or the Beatles than metal. That's why i'd choose happy - metal is what makes me come alive when i'm depressed or melancholy, not vice versa. With a touch of misanthropia, of course

So I take it you've heard zero doom metal bands.

how can you be happy with a bit of misanthropia?

Coldplay is only depressive because it is such a horrible excuse for music.

Seriously though, I find that type of music to be very superficial, not to mention disengenuos.

Hey guys, "unkown" just pm'ed me saying that he listens to emo bands secretly and also that he is a closet homo!

I'm generally misrable and not happy so listen to music that seems similiar. I notice a lot of people listen to metal because it makes them happy and brings them above all the negativity which really does not make much sense in metal music unless you listen to power metal. I can't think of a lot of metal bands that seem like they're happy people. People generally don't see happy to me.

Well, you're wrong. Coldplay and the Beatles are not metal, you're WAAAAY off.

Um...you completely, entirely, and laughably missed the point.

Point taken, but I still consider the doom bands i listen to (Esoteric, Candlemass, Skepticism, Solitude Aeternus) happy. I'm not a huge My Dying Bride fan.

What about early Katatonia?

Mediocre at best

I wouldn't consider any of those bands happy at all. Although those bands exluding Skepticism and Esoteric are traditional doom bands which are usually less depressive and monotonous as other forms of Doom, such as Funeral Doom.

I lol'ed at this one.

 

[Carcassian]

WHat is your favorite mood in regards to the music you listen to?

Drunk.

I would. End of argument.

I am in awe the overall mood set in Bathory's "Blood Fire Death" and "Hammerheart". No other album in black metal (or perhaps even metal itself) has instilled in me a sense of daunting, poetic nobility.
