List of bands that have changed my life (TW mental health, sexual content)

Let’s start from the beginning:

Nirvana. This band introduced me to grunge and I’ve never looked back. I found who I was because of this band. I started doing diy because of them, and they taught me to not give a fuck abt what ppl want from me. They taught me to do what makes me happy and to stand up for what is right. 

ICP (Insane Clown Posse). These guys saved me from a bad time in my life. I was so angry back then. Angry at the world, at myself. They gave me a community. They gave me a family I could lean on when I needed it. Their music was angry for me and it helped me regulate my emotions. I will always be a proud Juggalo. WHOOP WHOOP!

MSI (Mindless Self Indulgence). I know they are bad and that sux ass. They did so much for me and I am really disappointed that they are bad. They were kinda like icp 4 me. They helped me through my strong emotions and helped me block out my thoughts when I was overwhelmed. They helped me understand my feelings and they also helped thru depressive episodes. There was one song I would listen to which would say “boo fuckin hoo you’re not the only one whose live’s a piece of shit, and yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it, did anybody think you would really seriously slit your wrists, in fact I think that everybody thinks you’re seriously full of shit”. That song has literally prevented me from doing things to myself ironically. 

Korn. I started listening to korn recently but it has helped me so much. I relate to their music and Jon’s lyrics have helped me process my thoughts and feelings. I am a victim of COCSA and their song “Daddy” has helped me process what has happened to me. I also have family problems which their music has helped me with. Seeing them act like a family and supporting each other through their own struggles have made me realize that I don’t owe anybody my friendship. it showed me that I should find people who love me for me and people who will be there for me when I need them  

All of these bands make me who I am today. They are my therapy, they are my family. I am so thankful to have found this music because I wouldn’t be who I am without these bands. Hell, I might not even be here without these guys lol. Yea. that’s it :/
