I was about to make a comment about how blatantly stupid this chart is leaving out many bands (Nirvana, Tool, Pantera, etc) and getting alignments completely fucked up (NIN, No Doubt, L7…). Then I looked at the community it was posted in.
Well played @ickplant@lemmy.world. Well played. 👏🏻
Nirvana is on the blue line by Sad, Tool is above it in the pink/purple
I’m apparently blind as a bat 🤦🏻♂️
So like, is Ween not on here because they’re off the charts horny?
Ween is on the Z axis
I would but deftones in horny tbh. Especially on the Queen of the Damned soundtrack. Everyone was horny on that soundtrack.
Angry vs horny as a single axis…
NIN seems to have an angry tone. March of pigs, wish, hand that feeds, head like a hole. There is one sad balad as a cover. There is one horny lyric song, that also happens to be on the happier than sad side.
That’s why they left Manson off the list. That band was just horngry.
I went to NIN, Manson opened and Jim Rose Circus sideshow ran in between.
I had shitty seats in the back corner of my mid-sized venue. There were parents all around me in the cheap seats. There were no kids with them, but they were obviously looking for their kids.
The main floor was a sea of 90% under-aged goth chicks smoking.
The parents were all solemn and quiet.
Lights went down
Spot came up, the screeching cheer of 10k girls pierced my eardums. Manson walked out on stage
MANSON: “HOW MANY 14 YEAR OLD GIRLS WANT TO FUCK ME”
The GA seats double down on screaming.
All the parents went from disinterested concern to outright anger.
If you want the angriest horny song ever, it’s definitely NIN - Closer
In OP’s perpective, placing NIN where it is is entirely based on Closer, and nothing else. Hurt could be sad without being horny.
It is possible to view Closer as horny and happy. The infactucation bringing him closer to god, is a successful antidote to the sadness he expresses them curing. Also the horniness infatuation in itself is a pursuit of happiness. IMO, if you see the cure for your sadness right before you, you cannot be/no longer sad. So, as it resonates to me, closer is happy and horny, not sad, despite lyrical evidence of sadness.
March of pigs live is totally different to the Fragile version. Latter is sad, Live is insane angry.
The Perfect drug is a bit of remake of closer, lyrically. Cleaner, but same. Drugs make you happy. More of a rhythmic masterpiece. Only is also post 2000 great that could be in the sad tab.
also, hand that feeds and head like a hole have core NIN angry sound and lyrics, but happy dance beat/groove.
The angry/horny axis is silly. Go listen to Stinkfist by Tool and tell me a song can’t be both.
Title: 90s bands
My brain: Morbid Angel, Obituary, Sepultura, Corrosion of Conformity, Eyehategod, Dissection, among others.
My brain: 4/6 of those are 80s bands
This otherwise insightful chart suffers from the lack of NOFX.
I can’t believe they’re quitting! I refuse to believe it.
Where would we put the FX?
I still listen to Punk in Drublic <3
the NIN position , is not making any sense
Yeah I noticed that and thought WTF?
Someone has never listened to No Doubt or NIN.
Also Morphine, Offspring, Tool, and Veruca Tools, Blink 182 is way more happy and horny than Sublime. Weezer belongs where the Flaming Lips are and RHCP is hornier than both of them.
This chart is awful.
I was gonna say how is the Offspring sad!?
If they were happy then the Kids would be Alright.
Well fuck you got me there.
Also: What emotion would you say Self-Esteem represents? Cuz I would consider it split three ways between angry, sad and horny.
Idk, Tool feels about right? Maybe slightly more angry and slightly less sad
Or Korn
the offspring is definetly not that sad, nirvana should be sadder, blink is absolutely hornier…
Limp Bizkit should be smack bang the middle, they’re happy angry sad and horny.
I wonder where Linkin Park would fit
sad n’ angry
Nirvana is both quite horny AND quite angry more than neither.
I’ve been licking the walls of her anus.
And that’s one of their songs that ISN’T about sex. Honestly it’s been awhile but I’m honestly struggling to think of a Nirvana song that is actually about (positive) sex rather than using it metaphorically. It makes sense from someone with a very unusual relationship with sexuality. (Ie. Kurt was likely trans but didn’t really have the opportunity to discover that)
Sad music is the best. Deftones are way more horny than angry.
Green Day was peak sad and horny.
Yeah. Really questioning how they got labelled as one of the happiest bands here. But tbh you could never expect one person to make something like this accurately.
In the 00s I can see you saying angry but upbeat. In the 90s though? It’s all my girlfriend/boyfriend left me, I’m lonely and depressed. I wanna be your dominated love slave.
Smack me in the forehead with a chain
Where the fuck is Ween tho
Ween is a giant circle around the entire graph that’s too large to be depicted here
Ween signifies more than these four basic emotions. They’ve even created new emotions just to write songs about.
