Bummer.

https://open.spotify.com/track/2qKW8a2tzBmBYONQk3xXAP

Edit:chose a different song that might fit better.

This is probaby one of those songs that has a genre like GlaswegianSadCore. I am basing that on the fact it's sad and the accent sounds vaguely Glaswegian. Not what I'm after, but very cool nonetheless. What do you think about Glasvegas' stuff? (Truth be told I haven't heard anything since their self-titled album.)

The context here is that the singers wife died a quick death from cancer.

I understand the context and say NO.

See, I even bolded it.

This is the curling up and dying kind of nihilism. I want at least a smidge of angry nihilism that's not entirely teenage.

honestly though those songs made me sad and I cried and I don't want to hear it again but I'll probably listen to them again. Consider them two points in favour on the chart "Why Kakapo would really prefer to die before his wife. Hopefully while both his children are adults and have produced children (purely because one of Kakapo's irrational regrets is that his father can't meet his kids)".

Clarifcation: my wife's nor my mortality is currently in question. That said, I hope I die first. Just because I know my kids will be hurt most by their mum dying. I'd be happy shitting myself and dying if it means they keep her.

Behold the titular song from an album so apparently nihilistic, bleak, and sinister, a passing mod instantly banned me for posting a happy encouraging song from the album, because, clearly, from the cover art alone, it is known it was going to make everyone commit suicide, from the brutal, nihilistic, malicious stylings of..... Cheeseburger.

https://youtu.be/VEksNQfEs0Q

Sorry none of the songs in this thread can compete, as this album and it's suicidal mind controlling stick figure on a napkin cover art has been officially decreed as so nihilistically dangerous it must be banned on sight, no questions asked, and this thread, thus must be ended.

hopefully one of these suckers scratch the itch

Ah yes, the shotgun approach to sniper school.

The first one sounds like a vaguely maudlin, drunken colleague. That said, I'd listen to again.

1995 by Molly Nillson actually accurately encapsulates, well, 1995. I'd listen to again, but it's not it.

An abundance of strawberries - OK, but not what I'm looking for

Damien Durado - quite solid and a nice song, but not it. A little bit like a gentler Flaming Lips.

Bonnie Prince Billy almost scratches that itch, but is a bit too folksy.

Ok. So, I'll post without even a smidge of archness and spite for a second.

This is just the most amazingly cute wannabe classic rock song I've ever heard. They sound like they'd have given 3/4 of their blood supply to be on some of the cheap 'heavy metal' compilation CDs I had as a 13 year old. I like it. Nay, I love it and I wish I was this exuberant.

Unfortunately, I am not. Thus, this topic.

Lollipop Lust Kill - Not what I'm looking for right now, but by GOD I'll be giving them a listen when I'm not "IN A MOOD".

#2 Thank god I'm pretty, don't need to listen to this one.

Klank - They sound like they kinda want to be Fear Factory.

Argyle Park - that's a JPEG so I listened to the one with JG Thirlwell. Then I listened to the one feat. Celldweller. Not what I'm after, but I can neither confirm nor deny whether it's getting saved to a playlist somewhere.

[Actual youtube link] OK this is pretty cool. Also going to save to a playlist.

In fact, the entirety of Obsidian is horribly depressing and nihilistic. One of my absolute favorites albums. Beautifully constructed and undoubtedly inspired--The artist was stuck for months with a debilitating illness prior to writing this album. You can really feel it.

That's a super accurate description of the joke band cheeseburger. I think of them as a modern 10cc, except not as ridiculously musically talented, I'm not saying they aren't talented, they do their style very well, but 10cc does.... So many different styles so stupidly well, they are just ridiculously talented, so talented they are the worst band in the world.

But, that doesn't matter, gamefaqs mod-dom has officially decreed...... cheeseburger as the most dangerously hardcore suicidal nihilistic band of all time, so much so they require bans upon sight of the big night down the drain album cover, no questions asked or allowed. Nothing else can compete, by official decree.

Fuck your friends. The first (kind of second) studio album of The Mountain Goats, and what I consider to be their first true masterwork.

https://youtu.be/x9IMOrF_6EE

Trapped within the unsatisfiable confines of feminity. U.S. Girls best album I believe, depressing vibes from top to bottom. Fresh perspectives.

Upbeat nihilism! When you're so detached from reality that tragedy means nothing!

A bit of modern-classic Hardcore Punk nihilism.

Let's explore some different spectrums of fucked up mental anguish.

How about a delightfully upbeat song about going through puberty, so your dad gives you pictures from his old smut collection so you can beat off, you fall in love with the porn star as your first crush, and then find out she died before you were born. And then decide to beat off fantasizing about fucking the dead lady anyways.

All apologies, my attention span has ascended to Nirvana. Can you please condense, after removing the obvious Bowie, Nick Cave and Amanda Palmer (who I love and if you besmirch the name of either three - well, I can't say I'll cut ye, but I'll be pretty peevish).

Also someone already recommended No Children. (Besides, I have two, so it's too late. LOLZ).

Brief autohagiographical moment. I dated a girl with an Ampersand tattoo. Yes, from that song. I still love Amanda, even if the actual typographic symbol has soured for me somewhat.

Brief autohagiographical moment over.
