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!)

I dare say I do (and I'll certainly be buying the new Portishead) but its miserablist elements wouldn't be the reason why. That's always been the case, I guess. I liked Pink Floyd a lot in the 70s and the Smiths in the 80s, but not because I wanted to wallow in the misery Waters and Morrissey were offering.

heh, this (http://everything2.com/e2node/Miserablism) made me miserablelaugh, esp. the mention of Tegan from Doctor Who.
