Dominant emotion(s) in your music?

It dawned on me this morning that the dominant emotion
running through all of my music is a form of melancholy.
Probably not that healthy! Do you have a such a factor
pervading the music you own?

same here, mostly melancholy

the other day a roommate came in and said "hey let's play
some happy music", i was like 'err.. i'm not sure if i have
any..'

in my opinion most melancholic/emotional (radiohead/sigur
ros etc.etc.) music is more serious than 'happy music', i
don't really know how to put this, it has more 'feeling' in
it..

my stuff is often real moody.. i rarely do anything cute.
its all my idea of fun at the time tho, messing around.

looking at ep2 subtle t theres a bit of aggro stuff (like
shimatta, paperball)

but sometimes itll be reflective in a positive way (smiling
quiet, overcast)

the goal behind doing music for me is to suggest some kind
of sensation, so when any of the above happens, im pleased
(geo team & free to hold give me intense images)

your feet' ?)

Id go with the melancholy. Theres also a lot of positive
emotions in some of the things I listen to--Cure and Bjork,
mostly. Then theres this air of sadness, betrayal, and
longing in some of my Tori.

and hungerr... I need breakfast. ;(

Yeah, my ex said, "You have a lot of depressing music..."

Personally I fail to see what is depressing at all about
Kosmik Kommando, Prodigy and 187 Lockdown, but there you go
:)

ditto. That's what my girlfriend said this morning and I
thought 'well apart from some metallica .. no, not really'.
She likes 'stone in focus' though which is good as it's
sheer bliss to far asleep to.
I agree with you on the emotion front, not that I dislike
less emotional stuff it's just that it doesn't really do
anything much for me...

far = fall
would donating dough to Phob give me the ability to amend
spelling mistakes in previous posts?

i think i misread the question :)

my shelf has got 90s bunny techno cds and the joy division
box set falling off it at the moment, so its hard to say.

I used to love 187 Lockdown. I have a load of stuff by them.
The video for Kung-Fu was mental. :>

Uh... pretty varied! Equal parts abstract/cold/emotionless,
happy pop rock, depressing dirges, melodramatic... I can't
pick out one dominant emotion anymore.

hmmm most of my music is a base for my emotions. i can mold
it to be whatever i want it to be. music without words is
so much better than music with words cuz theres no
restrictions on what the song can mean.

The emotion of static.

Fear, cynism and melancholy. My ex gf said it sounds so
somber which made me reply :'Well, I'm a somber guy.' :)

I can't stand 'happy' music, it makes me running. :) I got
the same thing with overhappy people.
I once had a nice cartoon stored where there was this guy
smiling all the time. Someone asked his wife what was wrong
and she answered :' It's some kind of chemical imbalance,
he's happy all the time." :) (I hate writing down cartoons
but I can find the damn thing). ;)

happiness only appears to be so for those who have it.
