My attitude: people can feel however the fuck they want about the music they listen to, and don't need random strangers on the internet who don't know a fig about music telling them how they should live.
That being said, Irohanihoheto came out during the worst period of my life... I'm trying to develop better associations with that song because I really like its composition, but it reminds me of very dark times. I find myself listening to "It Was You" (how could Bacharach NOT have written this about his daughter after she died?) and "Carnation" when I'm most depressed.

Also Ichijiku no Hana is a song I listen to when I'm depressed. So beautiful. |

SR's music encapsulates the idea of mixed emotional states to me. So Tsuki ni Makeinu could be hopeful while Mittei Monogatari might be bleak.

Ouch. From what kind of music you always post in the "Currently Listening To..." thread, I'm surprised you enjoy Ringo's music at all. Let alone enough to be an active member of this forum. People enjoy music in different ways. I personally just can't listen to thoughtless dance pop. |

I posted hundreds of songs in CLT, "the kind of music I always post" you are referring to is probably k-pop. A lot of it is actually melodic pop music not dissimilar to what Ringo songs offer. It is definitely not thoughtless but in reality smooth, carefully crafted music, and listening to Ringo doesn't necessarily evoke more thoughts or makes one more intelligent.

Suberidai and Rakujitsu are my faaaavorite songs to listen to when I'm going through relationship troubles, and are some of the few Ringo songs I'll frequently crave to listen to specifically by themselves, not in the context of an album or anything.
Tadashii Machi has been helpful to me whenever I go to study abroad and have to leave my friends and family and boyfriend behind, and Tegami is good for scary life transitions. And OSCA, Killer Tune, and Gunjou Biyori are good if I'm feeling spunky or if I need to hype myself up for something. Sigma and Kenka Joutou are nice when I'm pissed. I definitely frequently turn to music when I'm in a bad mood, and having SR and TJ's music here for me (spoiler: to get drunk to and sing along with) during hard times has really helped me.

Intelligent things can be said for any sort of music if one tries hard enough. Like nursery rhymes. By that same token, there are a lot of people who thoughtlessly listen to 'high culture' (a piss-awful arbitrary label anyway) things all the time. I have to say for all the backlash Inseu's comments tend to evoke I agree with the general sentiment of what he's said. It's become increasingly difficult to move me with music (the more you listen, the less you are surprised/delighted, etc). Which is why things like a good pair of earphones (to uncover nuances in songs I didn't use to notice) and a good live show (the emotional significance of seeing an artist in flesh, also the general atmosphere), have become the predominant ways in which I experience Strong Visceral Pleasure from songs. Which is to say, 80-90% of the time, barring the first couple of times I listen to something new and try to really CHEW on the new stuff, I'm really just listening to things on the subway, with a good groove to move my day along.
