Do you avoid certain music because of it being associated with your past? |
|
You know, like, let's say you got into a bad car accident when "The gambler" was playing. Would you change the station whenever that song came on? Or maybe the music from a bad time in you life... like you listened to alot of U2 during a depressed period... will you avoid listening to U2?

but it wasn't music associated with a bad time, it was music from a good time that later went horribly wrong.
i listen to it now and remember the good times rather than how it all ended.

For me it's mostly music I associate with old boyfriends, love interests, etc. that went sour. You know, "our song" type of deals. Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" used to make me cry because of that, but I find I'm slowly getting over it. It still makes me kind of sad to listen to it, but I've found if you can sort of re-program yourself and listen to it in a different context, it helps sometimes. :)

3. That song makes me cry cause it sucks so much |
|
But yeah, it's weird how the tune can trigger all the emotion and stuff from a certain time period.

You know, it's funny.. you'd think high school heartache would go away when you hit like... 19, but it doesn't sometimes. In fact I don't think it will go away until I get the chance to piss on her grave ;-)

I went almost 15 years without listening to it. Now I can listen to it, but not a whole lot.

I used to sit in the dark and drink and cut my arms up to that music. (I'm talking 20 years ago).
Now it doesn't have a strong effect on me as much but it really can bring my mood down

Many groups are depressing, but they achieved a level of....blankness is the only way I can describe it, that no other group did. I can handle Another Brick, but anything else played from that album gives me an immediate sense of "Oh no, I'm not going back there".

12. i guess the older stuff really, anything with really twangy type sounds |
|
the newer stuff i haven't given a fair shot. Steel guitars in particular really bother me.

When I quit smoking four years ago, I started listening to music that I had used to listen to long ago, before I started smoking. (I started late). I was trying to remind myself of times before I started puffing the evil weed.
I did manage to stay quit, too.

18. For a very long time I would not listen to music my mom |
|
listened to because it reminded me about her partying and drug use. I was a little kid and didn't like that at all.

19. Dave Matthews Band "Crash" |
|
because it was when I was deeply lost in depression during my freshman year of college - I would always have my walkman on and this song would be playing on the radio whenever I was on the train riding back to my dorm on Sunday nights - back to a place that I hated and just did not want to be. Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

20. Yes. I bought an iPod and filled it about eighteen months ago. |
|
None of the music on there can I stand to listen to because of negative associations.

21. just the stuff I used to avoid anyway, it was crap back then, it's still crap now |
|
It is played on VH1 nowadays rather than MTV, or whatever young people listen to for the latest groovy beat music.
