Music And Depression, Epilogue

Flavio, I hope you'll excuse me. It was impossible for me not to make this reference

"What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"

  1. that's why i picked sum 41 as my introduction to pop music. can't be miserable with that. "i don't wanna waste my time, become another casualty of society... nanananananana"

    (actually my introduction to pop music was probably the spice girls. but even that was all-empowering: "if you wanna be my lover, you gotta get on with my friends... nanananana")
