Surprised to not see Sugar Ray or Everclear, unless I’m blind.

Sublime should definitely be more towards center, unless you’ve never even tried to listen to the lyrics.
FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This explains why I never liked Foo Fighters.
NotNow@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I doubt that the person who did this chart ever listened to Morphine. Imho they sound like right out of a funeral.
freddydunningkruger@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Thank you. Morphine is unquestionably in the Horny/Sad zone.
frog_brawler@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Pretty sure the chart was made by someone born after 2000.
Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Yeah, I love Morphine, and “happy” is quite possibly the last adjective I would use to describe them. Some of it’s kind of playful maybe.

RATM makes me horny

No Doubt is more angry than horny? What?
humanspiral@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
least horny band ever! aparently. Gwen victorian image to blame.
Delphia@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The Offspring just pingpong all over the fucking place really.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 months ago
Sometimes even in the same song.
GoatTnder@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Nine Inch Nails isn’t nearly that horny. Hell, even Closer is angrier than it is horny.
troyunrau@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Starfucker and other songs would be considered quite horny. But it’s always more “rage sex” than sexy sex. So I mostly agree. Except when I don’t ;)
GoatTnder@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Starfuckers is about media execs fucking over artists. Nothing at all about sex.
AtariDump@lemmy.world 2 months ago
…So I mostly agree. Except when I don’t
Why did I read this is Douglas Renholm’s voice?
aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The Cranberries are way hornier than that.
Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 2 months ago
no counting crows
They missed the saddest band
selokichtli@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
It’s one problem that both angry and sad are opposed to happy, ate least for me. While the opposite to horny is frigid, and in my experience, depressed.
superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
You can be happy and angry at the same time, i.e. your girlfriend saying you have the biggest sick amongst all your friends; but its much harder to be happy and sad at the same time, that takes someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, of you.

Leaning to walk again, learning to talk again, make my way back home when I learn to fly, it’s times like these you learn to live again, it’s times like these you learn to love again. Guy just loves learning.
selokichtli@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
I’m not saying that you can’t have some specific cocktail of unfamiliar-together feelings. Who am I to say what anyone can feel? I’m saying they are conceptually opposed, but hey, happy cake day or happy angry cake day, whatever you want!
janus2@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
horny should be a perpendicular axis. you can be very angry and horny.

Title: 90s bands
My brain: Morbid Angel, Obituary, Sepultura, Corrosion of Conformity, Eyehategod, Dissection, among others.
arken@lemmy.world 2 months ago
My brain: 4/6 of those are 80s bands
SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Some those did get their start in the 80s but all of them hit their peak in the 90s.
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Beautiful work OP and I love the discussion and debate it brought about … excellent!
ickplant@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Can’t take credit for it as I shamelessly stole it. But it’s generating exactly the kind of discussion I was hoping for!
hungrythirstyhorny@lemmy.world 2 months ago
the NIN position , is not making any sense
djvinniev77@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Yeah I noticed that and thought WTF?
BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No Primus?
0100110100110011@lemm.ee 2 months ago
That’s the sarcasm belt.
LengAwaits@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What about Ween?
BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Or at least their own heading. Like how winamp just to say their genre was “Primus”.
roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Green Day was peak sad and horny before dookie.
FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Yeah. Really questioning how they got labelled as one of the happiest bands here. But tbh you could never expect one person to make something like this accurately.
roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 months ago
In the 00s I can see you saying angry but upbeat. In the 90s though?
FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Someone explain the sarcasm belt to me and why Radiohead is sad sarcastic
AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m not sure sarcasm is the right word. I’d say it’s more “self awareness”. Cake is a good example. They’re not serious and their music is almost a parody of pop-alt-rock at the time. Radiohead is borderline self-aware; they’re sad and they know it, but not so sad as to be “serious” about it like Dashboard Confessional.
S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
It only works if you believe they put a man on the moon…
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No
brokenlcd@feddit.it 2 months ago
Kind of curious where KMFDM would fit. I would think top for sure. But i feel like most of their songs would make them swing left and right like a metronome. Example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ3lsxONdiw
Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 months ago
Kill motherfucking Depeche mode
SPRUNT@lemmy.world 2 months ago
KMFDM is a drug against war!
exixx@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This one’s most appropriate for today’s times. My most listened song for 3 years running
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Why can’t you be angry and horny?
StellarSt0rm@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Exactly my thought! Why not both!?
Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Missing queens of the stone age in the bottom right.
eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Where would They Might Be Giants and Barenaked Ladies be on this? BNL, despite the name, isn’t horny.
redwattlebird@lemmings.world 2 months ago
Hmm. Missing Everclear.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 months ago
Just like that Father of Mine…
redwattlebird@lemmings.world 2 months ago
Tell me where has he been?
karl_chungus@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Where the fuck is Ween tho
mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub 2 months ago
Ween is a giant circle around the entire graph that’s too large to be depicted here
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 months ago
Ween signifies more than these four basic emotions. They’ve even created new emotions just to write songs about.

dryfter@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I was about to make a comment about how blatantly stupid this chart is leaving out many bands (Nirvana, Tool, Pantera, etc) and getting alignments completely fucked up (NIN, No Doubt, L7…). Then I looked at the community it was posted in.
Well played @ickplant@lemmy.world. Well played. 👏🏻
faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
Nirvana is on the blue line by Sad, Tool is above it in the pink/purple
dryfter@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I’m apparently blind as a bat 🤦🏻♂️
kerrigan778@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Nirvana is both quite horny AND quite angry more than neither.
uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 2 months ago
I’ve been licking the walls of her anus.
kerrigan778@lemmy.world 2 months ago
And that’s one of their songs that ISN’T about sex.
PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 2 months ago
Many of these bands are misplaced.
Gin Blossoms is sad. NIN is incredibly angry. Mazzy Star is a little bit horny. Deftones is pretty happy. Radiohead is at least a little horny.
derfunkatron@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Weezer is a tough call because most of the time they’re sad because they’re horny.
