Cos nobody loves me, it's true, not like you do

- Do you listen to miserable music?

- Did you listen to more (or less) miserable music than when you were a teenager? Or is the balance still about the same?

- What do you 'get' out of listening to miserable music?

Definitions of 'miserable' open to interpretation, of course.

(Guess who was listening to the new Portishead album last night!)

Like, I hate that freaking Wombats song because it makes dancing to Joy Division out to be an ironic activity. Bitch plz, "Transmission" and "She's Lost Control" are totally unironic dancefloor fillers where I come from.

Heh, rage on!

I'm interested in the idea of drug preference, though - partly because I have a weird metabolism for drugs, having mild ADHD, and preferring speedy drugs as a simple correction to my own imbalances. I think a study of that nature would be fascinating, if probably impossible.

(I also like low-energy music when in non-angry mope.)
