music The Origin of the Lavender Town Theme Official Thread

[Vemillia Nightshade 2,247]

I know what you are thinking: "Oh no, not this creepypasta story again. Dude, this has been beaten to death. Just give it up already."

 

I assure you, that I know for the fact that a lot of the creepypasta is over exaggerated. But I cannot discount some of the facts it had entirely. The Japanese can sometimes be crafty. But I actually have a legit copy of the song that was uploaded to Youtube. I've even asked some friends who actually have played the original green if this is legit. They said that it was.

 

Just a fair warning: If you have sensitive hearing, then some of the tones in this song could affect your hearing. Listen at you own risk.

 

 

While listening to it and just focusing on the song, I ended up feeling a sense of sadness. It was rather depressive sadness. The symbolism in the music piece is rather dark if you pay attention carefully. If you hear loud bangs, that is the bell and if you hear a odd static, it's symbolizing rain. That's rather dark for a music piece of that era. But I can see the possibility of some physiological effects. When you think about it, some music can energize you and sometimes calm you down. What this theme does is tell a tale of the pokemon that have lost their lives.

 

In fact one of my friends who played it said he had nightmares for a week or two after playing Pokemon Green. The music piece of lavender town has a odd effect on people, though it's different for each person. I personally am not too affected by it though I do feel sad and to some level depressed after listening to it. So it maybe not too far-fetched if maybe a few people may of committed suicide because of this music piece. I'm not saying though that people will commit suicide all the time because of this, but those who may be more sensitive to the piece could have the possibility.

 

So what do you to ponies think? Does what I'm talking about sound bogus? Or does what I said have some possibility? I'm curious what you think. Though please keep this a calm and level headed discussion. I don't want outright bashing on this, or a flamewar to start.
