I listen to a lot of heavy, anger filled stuff. My counselor told me to listen to only “uplifting” music for a month. I made it about a week before I gave up, because nothing was changing. Not that I would ever change (I love my music too much), but I’m curious: What do you guys listen to, and have any of you noticed what type of music you listen to helping/hurting your mood?
Also, I created a suicide project group at last.fm if anyone else is on there. Maybe we could share sweet tunes. Or maybe not. http://www.last.fm/group/Suicide+Project

My music taste varies, but I listen to both depressing music and uplifting music. None hurt my mood in the long run, – when I listen to ‘depressing’ music it just gives me a chance to think.
I like all types of music but lately I’ve been listening to The XX a lot, I don’t know something about her voice is just very soothing to me. But my mood never really changes because of the music I listen to.
I like all kinds of music, not gonna lie. But I have a special fondness for rock, especially progressive-rock. And I also like slow rock, the kind that sounds like slow, romantic sex XD cliche, but so good!
I’ve listened to mindless self-indulgence and, for a while, they were one of my favourite bands. But I can’t stand listening to them forever. My music has to be versatile.
I listen to mainly heavy metal, black veil brides, Suicide silence, tonight alive, motionless int white etc. But i listen to sad songs when i’m very depressed, such as, you can let go now daddy and concrete angel :3
I listen to the good lapfox, svix, some industrial, and pretty much everything else.
Allow the examples to speak for me. (OH MY GOD! I just found a new svix song. I am happier than a manic on lsd) http://svix.bandcamp.com/track/audacity

Wow too much awesome music.
Yah, I love MSI too, but it’s not something you can listen to for hours on end. Other than that I listen to a lot of breakcore, IDM, deathcore, and tons of other garbage. And I do have a playlist of hugely depressing songs that I play every once in a while (Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton is so beautiful and depressing that it makes me want to jump off a bridge).
I listen to a bit of everything pop, rock, screamo, grunge,etc.
