so uhh... somewhere between summer of 2023 and autumn i discovered these sad/trauma core slideshows and music of artists like sign crushes motorist (all his projects) one heart, grouper, flatsound and etc...
the more i was listening to it the more i thought about it as a mental form of a selfharm even though it somehow relaxing and realy soothed my depressive thoughts for a bit (i was so done in these months).
anyway i saw many people discussing it and i think i need to hear your opinion on that because for me now it's clearly not a good thing (i still have a playlist with 17+ hours of music like this.
also, in my pov 'hope core' is not good too because it seems like requiem for a dream honestly
what y'all think about it?

It is important to allow yourself to feel negative emotions because there is no other way to process the feelings associated with them but it is also important not to wallow in them. Wallowing can lead to obsession or fixation which will only exacerbate those feelings.
If you are finding yourself fixated on music that makes you feel depressed or whatever else then it may be worth exploring why you feel the need to do that (preferably with a licensed professional or someone close to you but depending on your emotional maturity this may well be a process you can comfortably handle on your own).
I am not familiar with the music in question so I cant really comment on that specifically but as someone who does enjoy extreme music (in an emotional sense) I will say that there is a great deal of catharsis in it. The value of having a healthy outlet for dark emotions is immense and where some people hear morbidity others may find validation and release, both of which are important for any person to have.
THANKS A LOT!!^^ i need to think ab it...

all i know is that i was in a real deep hole around that time and the slideshows and music were NOT helping... that is my personal opinion though
same... it's like drowning deeper
