i listen to 'depressing' music because it fills my chest with a familiar kind of weight i think. It just feels right because I'm used to that feeling. Also depressing music takes away the loneliness because you feel in a way connected to the artist through your feelings that they experience and express so perfectly for you

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned The Caretaker's 6-staged work called 'Everywhere at the End of Time'. That shit goes beyond depressing, it is hauntingly scary. I listened to the first half an hour of the first stage, which I'd been told is the easiest to get through, and I could not go any further. The shit literally made me have trouble falling asleep because death and dementia (themes that are explored quite frequently) were so heavy on the mind. Edit: I got through the first 3 stages 4 days ago. It was in one listen, and it just got even more dreadful. I also finished the first part of stage 4, and it...well, if you've listened, you know, but putting it lightly, it's really heavy dread. Edit 2: Apparently there were mentions of EATEOT earlier in the year than what I had seen at the time since they had very few likes compared to now. Also I finished the thing around 2 weeks ago, the last 5 minutes were sad, and I recognized what they were meant to symbolize, but it was not enough to push me to the point of tears. (Thanks Mr Flibble for the reminder) Edit 3: I have no idea why I did this, but I came back to EATEOT and listened another time. It's really unsettling still, but honestly, this time around, it lost its luster. Though it did reaffirm my belief that alzheimers should be a disease that can allow you to be eligible for Euthanasia, that suffering is something that we cannot comprehend, and we shouldn't let those that we love go through it.

As someone who listened to the entire length recently, the way that it replicates dementia is incredible. It feels like your listening to the audible deterioration of this in-universe character, and eventual death. Anyone who has heard the last 6 minutes will agree that there is a certain grief at the end of the album, and throughout the whole six hours you really start to think about the impact of dementia on people. Probably the most comments I've ever read on a youtube video

@@johnstamos75 It's a combination of ballroom music from the 20s-40s that becomes more and more distorted as you get further through it as your 'dementia' worsens and gets more severe. It's also really really long (clocks in at around 6 and a half hours I believe). I can't describe it super well, but that's a really shitty description of it. You'll understand once you listen.

John Stamos give it a listen, even the most elegant description from Kirby (the artist) wouldn’t even scratch the surface of what the album/work does to ones mind and body when listened to. If possible I’d dedicate a day to listen, it’s 6.5 hours, broken down more or less to 6 1 ish hour long albums that build upon the last, until a finale that is a literal metaphor for death. It’s free on KZbin, the description has it broken down very well, with apt descriptions of each stage, and has some amazing artwork as well, although it does it rather unsettling by the end.

I think what makes OK Computer by Radiohead such a depressing album is that it’s universal. The instrumentation, lyrics, production, and vocals are cold, disconnected, and isolated but also impassioned, powerful, and raw. The overarching message and theme of the record is that we constantly try to fill an emotional void in our lives with superficial and temporary thrills to indulge our senses until we inevitably return to the inescapable emptiness and mundanities of everyday adult life. It’s definitely a bleak portrayal of how we conduct ourselves and interact with one another, but still a very honest and real account of the human condition nonetheless

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral is probably one of the most depressing albums I listen to on a regular basis. I'd listen to it less, but you just have to appreciate how clever it is as a concept. You can even listen to it to get you pumped up too. It's a weird mixture of feelings that it brings out. It also has some of NIN's best material.

I listen to depressing music because I relate to it a lot. It seems to help me knowing that someone can be depressed and yet contribute something I percieve to be of great value. Particular themes can be especially beneficial to explore if they relate to someone. In my case, I've been listening to music about drug abuse, unrequited love and lack of commitment. Sometimes a well placed happy song is just the thing too, depressed or not. Right now because of my age and who I grew up with I find myself going back a lot of Fall Out Boy, Blink 182 and Green Day's older material again, partially for nostalgic reasons and partially because I still relate a great deal and have an even deeper appreciation for what in this case is fairly simple, yet catchy crunchy chuggy riffs and melodrama about girls and identity.

He's the most underrated musician ever, all of his albums are filled with brilliance, love the way he twists european folk music, and his songs trilogy is like the most depressing thing ever. My favourite album of his is the Howling Songs. That one is the best album I've ever sat through in my life. Gotta mention his starter album which is the Drinking Songs ehich got me hooked on. Everything this man does is just perfect. Highly recommended, sadly he doesn't get the publicity he deserves but I hope I'll get some of you to try his music.

Hey theneedledrop, I know this is an old video, but I have something that might answer your question. Coming from a super emotional person (I feel each emotion extremely deeper and more intense, which is good and bad at times), when I am going through the days or times of depression (clinically diagnosed, not Mayo Clinic lmfoa), sometimes what helps is to listen to some really depressing music and allow myself to wallow in it, to really feel it with every part of my existence, that way it goes away quicker, kind of like crying when you just let it all out. But if I try to hide it or whatever, it prolongs it. It's like, I accept it, acknowledge it, allow myself to feel it, embrace it, and then in time, say good bye to it. And there are other reasons we like it too, like you said, to hear something relateable. Sometimes I like to pretend I'm in a movie when I'm riding my bike or something at night, envision a camera angle where it shows me riding my bike in slow motion, and depending on how I'm feeling that night, I'll put on some depressing music to add to the "movie scene", just like how you would see it in a movie, if that makes sense. Hope that helps!!

Been thinking about the questions asked at the start of the video. Lately I've been listening to The Antlers' album Hospice a-ddic-tive-ly. This comes at a time, let's call it a year, that's been pretty difficult personally. The idea of an album that tells the story of someone going through an emotionally abusive relationship, while simultaneously telling the analogous story of a hospice worker working with a difficult patient at the end of their life--well, I can't say it mirrors what I'm going through exactly, but there are certain things that really hit home. Hearing certain lines helps me is therapeutic, it helps me to process. People, I think, are attracted to lyrics that resonate with them and help them to process their own emotions. The harder it is to deal with the emotion, well, the more you might listen to the song. I think the circumstances of my life at this time have kind of colored the tone of the music I listen to, and indeed, my tracklists lately have been generally down-tempo or mid-tempo, if they are not as overtly depressing as this album. Wasn't always this way, but it's been a tough year and yes, I do think it affects the music I listen to. Maybe if you're thinking, why do I get requests for depressing albums, as opposed to albums that speak to any other emotion that people would be feeling; well, I'd think it's because you don't really look to music to "process" other emotions, but when you're depressed, anxious, or something of this sort, it's something you do actively.

In the last track he seems to move on from whole nightmare, but it comes back to him in haunting dreams - and this is one of the major appeals of the album for me, stating that mourning is such a complex process, dealing with anxiety, shame/blame for yourself and for the world. One of the best, heart wrecking albums i've ever heard, haven't had such an emotional listening for a while now.

Brand New, dude! Tracks like millstone, sic transit gloria..., handcuffs, Jesus, and You won't know (yes I know these are only from two of their albums) are some heart wrenchers. These are usually the "rage against the dying of the light" style depressing songs. Often dealing with themes raging from losing your potential and favor in the eyes of your peers, to dying alone because of your own fear, t being used because it's the only thing you know how to do. Jesse Lacey's voice sounds like the last breaths of a dying animal, demanding it's last moments to burn out rather than fade away, and vincent acardi's guitar work is both subtle and blaring, mixing dissonance from bands like Built to Spill, to more hardcore influences that are very power chord driven from Bands like Bad Religion and turnstile. A tight rhythm section (at it's peak in Sic Transit Gloria...) paints a driving, tank like, background that the leads scrape over, like they're tearing through sheet metal. I've more often than not angry cried through "The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me". Great for emotional validation and anguish.

For me, the most depressing songs come from an album or a band not conventionally known to exhale depressing music. Prime example is Ween - Birthday Boy, right near the end of their first album godweensatan. You're almost an hour in, and you've been listening to completely ridiculous and otherworldly forms of humor and musical expression. You think that these kids (Gene and Dean) are completely nuts. Then, birthday boy happens. Push through godweensatan, and you'll understand the impact it can have. When an album is nothing but depressing songs (OK Computer), it is still an emotional experience, but the attack is dulled by the fact that there's nothing to contrast it. Nothing to make it seem THAT much more emotional.

I had to warm into it as a record as Overgrown was a much more accessible album (except for Voyeur ugh), but in the end the breakup narrative is so relatable from different angles and so charged with emotion to convey that the peaks and valleys resonate deeply with me. I know it got a 5 over here but he always says it's just his opinion so ehhh.

Speaking of nihilistic albums, lets not forget Kid A. The lyrics on that albums are haunting, but impossible to interpret; they're meaningless. Halfway through the album you realize you're trying to attribute themes or meanings to the songs that just aren't there. Kind of a depressing when something that inspires so much interest, turns out to be nothing but chaotic. C'est la vie. Great album.

I've seen Pink Floyd live, and was high as fuck, but the show stayed with me to this day. I feel like I could gush endlessly about that show, but you just had to see/hear it, to believe it. Every single sight and sound, is engineered to take you directly to the darkest, most isolated places in your mind. I fucking love it, and would have to count it as some of the most beautiful, deep, and yes, depressing music, ever created. Even their happiest tunes still have a palpable amount of melancholy, and beauty to spare. It's still my best music related memory, even decades later. Pink Floyd reached directly into my chest that night, and squeezed some of the life out of me. For that, I am eternally grateful to them.

Townes Van Zandt deserves more than a passing mention, the man embodied sadness. On that note, Jeff Buckley - perhaps 'depressing' isn't as good a term as 'haunting'. If you've never listened to the mostly-unreleased "Manic-Depressive Named Laughing Boy" by Modest Mouse, it is BOTH haunting and depressing, especially when you discover 'Isaac' means "laughing boy" in Hebrew and so the song is probably their most nakedly personal. The ominous reverberating metal 'clinking' of the guitar in the intro, the oppressive march of the instrumentation once it kicks into the song, and the shrill cries of "WHY'D YOU DO IT!?" directed at the protagonist of the song (and thus at Isaac Brock himself) in the chorus make it one of the most disturbing songs for me, lent this "snuff film" quality by the over-all audio quality which is post-Sad Sappy Sucker but pre-Long Drive. (That is to say, shitty)

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut. The album tells the story of a WWII vet turned schoolmaster clearly suffering from PTSD as he struggles to reconnect with his wife, children, and life in general, all while being tormented by the memories of the horrors he both witnessed and perpetrated in the throes of war. The album climaxes in his aborted suicide attempt (to which the title of the album alludes) and closes with his nightmare vision of a nuclear apocalypse. There is no happy ending, nor any real resolution at all. Roger Waters' poignantly poetic lyrics and heartfelt vocal delivery, along with Michael Kamen's affecting orchestrations and David Gilmour's incomparably soul-wrenching guitar work, ratchet the tear-factor up to 11. On a side note, for those who don't know, this album is actually kind of a sequel or spin-off to the much more famous "The Wall," as its lead character is one and the same with the schoolmaster from that album. In fact, most of these songs were written for "The Wall," but were rejected for various reasons. A short film was made as well, featuring the same actor who played the schoolmaster in the film version of "The Wall."

When I felt the real urge for depressive music to inhabit my ears, I listened to a lot of different things. One band I listened to were The Exploration, and it's funny, can't go back to listen to them anymore. Though, I also listened to Merchant Ships, and the one song that people think of when they hear Merchant Ships and depressing is "For Cameron" but I found "Something That Matters" stuck with me most. It captured a sense of nostalgic depression, the idea of lost youth. Now I'm not saying these songs are great or super deep and complex, they both just bring out specific emotions and my interpretations are what bring some depth. The one song I would say is objectively great, and one I related to the most, playing it almost exclusively (along with Solace by Earl) is "u" by Kendrick Lamar. A beautiful track, a great source of healing for me. If anyone read this rant, I love you. Hope you find your way soon if you haven't yet.

Nina Simone has a vocal style that can grip you and lead you up or down pretty well. Her song, "Strange Fruit" not only has very very dark lyrics but her voice calls a deep ache into the soul. Feelin Good is a song that is uplifting by her. So, enjoy if you've never listened before

Feeling This I fucking hate Alice In Chains. They make some of the most boring ass music I’ve ever heard. They have three good songs, Would?, Down In A Hole and Bleed The Freak. Everything else they’ve done is starving African baby grade garbage. Never understood why people love them so much.

For me, it's The Bends. Although it's one of my favorite albums, I feel sadness every time I listen to it. I don't find The Late, Great, Nick Drake's Pink Moon to be depressing at all, though. I actually find it beautiful in both the sound and lyricism, and it actually makes me feel motivated every time I listen to it. It's such a wonderful, amazing album imo.
