"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? "
this opening statement made by john cusack's character, rob, in high fidelity is something i refer back to a lot.
im pretty sure i listen to certain music because its what i like. however, i know whenever i am miserable some songs take on a whole lot more or different meaning then when i first listened to them.
so i guess the answer is listen to more operation ivy and get happy.
