Anyone here go through something similar? Share albums that make you feel like anything in the last 4 lines of the greentext. Stuff that has an impact on your mood and makes you feel strongly. Or just moves you out of a state of dull monotony into something more passionate.

>enjoying music
What's wrong with you man, just use music to enhance your depression like a normal person.
James Foster
Yeah same here, also this board made me be open to trying new genres and sounds
Luis Jenkins
I don't enjoy music, I only listen to music for the social value of it
Juan Thompson
man, I am just a loser who isn't particularly great at being a human desu. Don't go out much. Not many friends. Feel sort of alienated from the people I'm around. I go out but only for strolls/walks or to the university to study or attend lectures. Avoid people because I just can't seem to find a comfortable state/rhythm with most of them.
Music has begun to offer an escape more and more lately. Made life slightly better by allowing me to feel something other than detached apathy and cynicism and self hatred and anger at myself for all my fuckups in life and how I failed to be a decent normal likable human being. Between all this misery I can now find moments where I can forget all that shit and listen to stuff that evokes other emotion or come here to have my taste trashed by contrarians.
Sebastian Brown
Who are your favorite artists?
Zachary Nelson
I'm just busting your balls man. What do you like?
Mason Taylor
Are you trying to tear into me for making a post about something as generic as enjoying music on a board dedicated to it?
In my defense, I did ask people to post music that was special to them or stuff that made them feel really strongly.
Henry Green
Do you browse r9k?
Hunter Murphy
Ahh he's just trying to fuck with you. Btw what are your favorite artists?
Gavin Perez
Dude unironically I think this is the best song I've ever heard about male loneliness/alienation/romantic failure. Read the lyrics. I mean, I know it's 80s pop by a teen idol but it's actually pretty powerful shit.
Connor Williams
THIS So uplifting.
Easton Lewis
glad you asked anons. I am not a patrician to be honest. You might not approve of the stuff that I like right now but I understand that my taste is changing and evolving.
I'll list a few artists/albums that I enjoy which I discovered thanks to this board:
Animal collective (favorite album: stgstv) slint (spiderland) my bloody valentine (loveless) Brand new (devil and god are raging inside me) smashing pumpkins (siamese dream) godspeed you black emperor (lift your skinny fists..) sigur ros (agaetis byrjun) the microphones radiohead (almost all their albums) weezer (blue album, pinkerton) why (alopecia) manchester orchestra (simple math),
and so much more but here are the few artists i've been listening to lately.
haven't delved very deep i know but i'll discover more obscure stuff over time.
no. i've heard it's not a very nice place and becomes an echo chamber so i stayed away from there.
Benjamin Sanders
are you me?
Noah Moore
Same here OP. Started listening to music since it was the only hobby I could get around while being a depressed faggot since all I had to do was listen while laying in my bed. Now it's become something I really enjoy. I'm not a musical person myself and I love hearing weird stuff. Music is really fun for me because of the exploration of trying to find the perfect album. I'm always downloading random stuff because that album you found a shady Japanese website can become your new favorite album.
William Adams
feel free to post your favorites too anons. i'd like to know.
it's a really nice track. thanks for recommending it.
>random stuff because that album you found a shady japanese website can become your new favorite album agreed. I've found some random japanese stuff (some with vocals and some without and surprisingly ended up liking it quite a bit)
Matthew Howard
I've felt for a long time that all my emotions are concentrated in a burning point of my belly and the rest is emptineses, pure emptiness. But when I hear pic related, and the voices come in suddenly after 1 minute of percussion on the first track, I become filled with them all.
Owen Adams
I didn't really mean Japanese music specifically, more just there's very odd places to find / get music. Also, I never pay attention to ratings since everyone has unique hearing and brains so I always give every album I listen to a listen for myself because albums that are hated by mu, p4k, melon, or any other "reviewer" could maybe be my all time favorite album. I never know until I give it a listen.
Samuel Lee
it's ok sammy
Thomas Gray
Favorite artist now
Milo Flying Lotus Frank Zappa GY!BE Gonjasufi Boards Of Canada CAN
Xavier Jones
Forgot to add actress
Kevin Ortiz
The albums that do it the most for me atm are:
>Music Has the Right to Children >They Spent Their Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons >Holy Money >Feedbacker
They just give me the strongest response. They either invigorate me or make me more so contemplative on the deeper meaning of living life and its experiences, and the shared experiences of others.
I found Sup Forums roughly six years ago and life has never been the same, musically (at least).
Matthew Foster
I've always been insecure and music has been both a comfort and a confidence booster because when i got onto this board i was introduced to soo much mindblowing music that makes me just feel numb and happy and the experimant sounds like CAN, Captain Beefheart ( and yes i liked TMR, that shit just clicked with me instantly WTF IS WRONG WITH ME), Tom Waits or XIU XIU just made feel really attached to this medium of entertainment.
And i was always wierd and insecure, it was hard to fit in with people, and when i found Sup Forums i feel like its a community i can finally fit in with all the wierd people and thier tastes
