Metal

Angry anti establishment punk rock

 

I blast Nine Inch Nails until I feel better usually

but for those who like happy music try the bands Grouplove, Passion Pit and Morning Teleportation

 

Sigur Ros

 

Mika!

Basically anything Mika has done.

But especially the song We Are Golden.

 

Yeah I agree with thedreamwatch Mika is really good for those times, also the song Mr. Brightside always puts me in a good mood

 

Oddly, Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne makes me feel awesome. Also also also, Blink-182 and basically any Boston will kick start my good mood.

I have a playlist on youtube I call my Dancing Tunes list. I play it when things feel like they suck, and usually dance around my apartment in my underwear. I know I'll add things to it, but currently it features:

Linkin Park - Burn It Down
Half Moon Run - She Wants To Know
The Black Keys - Sister
Awolnation - Kill Your Heroes
USS - Damini
The Heavy - Short Change Hero
Imagine Dragons - On Top Of The World
Of Monsters And Men - Little Talks
Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body
Daft Punk - Get Lucky
Pharrell Williams - Happy
Paramore - Ain't It Fun
&
Michael Jackson (with Justin Timberlake) - Love Never Felt So Good

I tend to start dark, like my mood, and work my way up to light.

 

i have a playlist like that too!
this is it:
crowd surf off a cliff - emily haines & the soft skeleton
c'est la mort - the civil wars
the last unicorn - passenger
the grand optimist - city and colour
skinny love - bon iver
kiss me - ed sheeran
cold moon - the zolas
she's thunderstorms - arctic monkeys
snow - the zolas
paradise - coldplay
something beautiful - needtobreathe
just keep breathing - we the kings
san francisco - the mowgli's
i wanna get better - bleachers
in the summer - loon lake

really, it's just a bunch of songs i love in order from slowest/saddest to fastest/happiest... :lol:

 

You have great taste in music, my friend. I'd opt in for some twenty one pilots near the beginning, per say, Trees from their debut album, but other that that, I find nothing wrong with this,which is surprising, considering how nitpicky I am when it comes to music.

 

thanks friend. you're got great taste in music too

 

Florence and the Machine

like the only music that can make me happy these days

Give it a go - Molotov Jukebox
Wannabe - Spice girls

 

That is a fantastic list! I thought of another one that I find picks me up: Frank Turner - Recovery. Even though it's about (or seems to be about) drugs, I find it really connects with me in regards to the dysphoria thing.
