music What do you listen to when you have a meltdown?

[Midnight Dragon 264]

Do you have some specific music you listen to when (and if) you have an emotional breakdown?

 

For me it's usually something like Birthday Massacre...

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

I usually listen to the "Leave a Whisper" album by Shinedown.

The tracks in that album are very vengeful and dark, so it kind of sets the mood.

[Shift 4,272]

I listen to every single Pokémon song.

 

Then I go off to read shipfics.

[Lagom 204]

Basically whatever song I have in my mind.

[Scootalove 10,689]

I listen to Save Me by Shinedown, when in doubt listen to Shinedown in the crisis of a meltdown.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

When I am having an emotional melt down I listen to the pleas for mercy from my enemies.

 

Usually this, or something similarly loud (Warning for language, I guess):

 

[Grimm Cheater 16]

Well I've never had a meltdown for say. But when I'm upset or angry for what ever unknown reason,

I listen to white noise or snow as I call it. But that's just me.

[CT-1138 3,182]

Pony music, or even watching ponies. MLP is great for getting me out of a bad mood.

[Katana 298]

Not to say that it *helps*, but I often listen to the Spec Ops: The Line soundtrack. It can often be a somewhat depressing game.

 

[FlutterShiny 19]

Depends on the type of 'meltdown'. If something has made me inconsolably angry, I'll listen to heavier rock/metal, Nightwish, that sort of thing. If it's something that's made me feel sad, defeated, or like I really just can't do anything right, I'll usually pick instrumental soundtracks. Two Steps From Hell makes music for film trailers, it usually picks me back up again.

This song. Instantly calms me down, and helps me realize that my problems are small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things:

 

[Acchan 232]

I listen to Rokkenjima in Love, a happy song about stabbing the person you love repeatedly.

 

I'm disturbing.

[Static Electricity 729]

This thing:

 

 

Helped me through a lot.

[Game Twinkle 43]

I listen to comedians or funny podcasts. Those usually cheer me up.

[Stormbringer 346]

@@Harmonic Revelations,

 

OH MY GOD.

 

THE FRICKIN' CASUALITIES.

 

AND UNKNOWN SOLDIER, TOO.

 

TONY HAWK UG2 CHILDHOOD FTW.

 

For me, I listen to Good Charlotte, His Infernal Majesty, some Led Zep, Pink Floyd ('specially 'Brain Damage/Eclipse' and 'Comfortably Numb). Sometimes, Three Day's Grace. 

[Deesinn 393]

Haha, great thread.

 

Dave Matthews Band.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

 "White Light, White Heat, White Trash" 

This album by Social Distortion is something I listen to when I feel emotionless or angry. It has a very dark vibe from the songs and lyrics yet I can relate with the lyrics. Perhaps one of the best albums I have ever listened too. But there are songs such as this that are self reflective

 

 

 

This album or any of Metallica's older stuff
