Unpopular music opinion...

I've tried to get into Soundgarden but I just can't. I just can't get into Chris Cornells screaming. I try to keep an open mind with music but Soundgarden is one band I can't enjoy.

I haven't even heard of the band/group/artist before 🤔

@LordBarbossa really? ...have you ever heard of the 90's? ..as in 1990's? ..from the 20th century? Lol I'm joking, of course. But seriously, thanks for the wakeup call. This is one more subject i can't assume everyone's aware of. ..meaning, another subject i needn't attempt to use to strike up a conversation with my son. He's into 80's music, but only the main stream ironic stuff. Not the good stuff.. 😄

Have a nice day✌

@Jayciedubb I was a kid during the 90's and almost all of that music gives me anciety, so... Also, I'm Norwegian, so not all american or english music reached my ears

@LordBarbossa does anciety = anxiety? If so, that's what it's supposed to do. Anxiety isn't always a bad thing. ...🤔 wait a second. ..Norway, did you say? Lol are you trolling me or something? Norway? ..as in Norwegian black metal and Norwegian death metal? ..and that mellow, 30 year old, heroin junkie music makes you tense? 😁

If that's true, I respect that. If anxiety is a problem in your life, I hope you find a healthy outlet to vent it off before you let it rob you of any time or requires any prescription medicine.

Takk for svaret ditt og ha en fin dag, venn

@Jayciedubb I ment anxiety, yeah.
90's music gives me anxiety bc it reminds me of my childhood, not bc of the music itself

@LordBarbossa i see. I didnt mean to make light of your issue. I know we've all got our own crosses to bear. May i share my perspective with you? if it doesnt fit, forget it. But its my belief that its not good to let our tragedies define us. We're received better when were known for rising above and persevering in spite of tragedy. What ive noticed is that the difference is like taking your place at the top vs having to crawl up from the dungeon your tragedy keeps you in. You derseve to be at the top. You derseve to be loved and respected. Sympathy and pitty are ok, but they're not necessarily love and respect and if you get in a habit of accepting them or expecting them as such, you run the risk of only ever getting sympathy or pitty from someone you're trying to make a deeper connection with.

Like I said, if any of this stuff applies, I hope it helps. But if it doesn't, just drop it here and forget I said anything about it. I tried to explain the same thing to my son a couple months ago and I missed the mark, and almost lost him to his own hand when he had been confusing Sympathy For Love and his heart kept getting broken. I'm happy to say he's in a much better place now and a healthy relationship with a woman who loves him and respects him and I've never been the I Told You So type but I was so happy to tell him I told you so LOL

Damn, I wasn't planning I'm bleeding out like this, I just thought maybe ...

@Jayciedubb thank you. I manage alright for the most part, but some days are harder than others. Then again, who doesn't have bad days, right?


I'm so sorry to learn about your son. Very glad to hear he's doing better, and it sounds like you're a loving caring parent. I'm sure he feels that too, and appreciates it.
