Gitta Rensolo Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 it's a quote from Nick Hornby's High Fidelity what do you think? "....People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss. The unhappiest people I know , romantically speaking, are the ones who like pop music the most; and I don't know whether pop music has caused this unhappiness, but I do know that they've been listening to the sad songs longer than they've been living the unhappy lives."

Crests Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Makes alot of sense actually. This makes me thnk of something else, I'm about to go off topic :uhoh: Halloween. It doesn't make sense. All this time of kids being told not to take candy from stranges and then sending them out to take candy from a million strangers :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 That is a great song but wtf is that woman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitta Rensolo Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 yeah I think that first part is rather exaggerated...I mean violence and guns harm other people in the first place....sadness harms yourself in the first place....but that part that music causes more sadness is actually true sometimes...or maybe it's not the reason for the sadness it just sets the emotions free....(that expression was weird...)

MK Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 If people don't want to be sad, they shouldn't listen to music that makes them sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickahidalgo Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 ^I sorta kinda agree with this... But maybe it's the sadness that leads them up to violence and guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grace Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 i think music often helps people wallow in self-pity. i know that when i'm sad i love to listen to sad music to get it all out and to live through the emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 If your life is so pathetic that listening to sad songs will depress you for life, then you were gonna end up depressed anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LiquidSky Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 So I'm sad because I listen to pop? Speaking of depression..I remember when I was about 4 or 5 yrs old...that I would go running upstairs and cry my eyes out on my bedroom without a 'reason'. As I got older the same emotion never quite went away..it just makes me wonder why I would do that...specially for a kid who had everything.
