YankeeDudel 03.21.13	i read this article a while back. anybody who stays inside all day listening to music might be a little depressed yea but you could say the same about alot of things.
CaptainHadouken 03.21.13	I havent seen that simpsons episode in a long time, that audio just made my day.
DominionMM1 03.21.13	couldn't find the video of that clip so had to settle for the audio
CaptainHadouken 03.21.13	Haha, i might just look up the episode. Im sure ints online somwhere. I think its the one where homer is a carnie.
antigravity 03.21.13	definitely true in my case
DominionMM1 03.21.13	It's the hullabalooza episode where they shoot homer in the stomach with a cannonball
Kman418 03.21.13	tbh getting into more music got me out of depression, this article is silly
antigravity 03.21.13	it's not really a correlation thing but it makes sense - music has a very powerful influence on your emotions and if you're already feeling kinda bad staying in and listening to depressing music can make you wallow in your own self-pity and it kind of encourages that
CaptainHadouken 03.21.13	Sweet! I wonder what season its in.
dammets 03.21.13	article is right i never even knew i was depressed until jesse lacey told me about it
antigravity 03.21.13	lol
CaptainHadouken 03.21.13	heh, damn
Chortles 03.21.13	title is pretty misleading
DominionMM1 03.21.13	"Sweet! I wonder what season its in." season 7
ZilbelPing 03.21.13	Nope. I love music and I'm not, nor have I ever been, depressed. That being said, I'm not a teen anymore but when I was ^^^
CaptainHadouken 03.21.13	Well season 7 i getting watched. It can be misleading thought the article was interesting/humorous
Calc 03.21.13	this wouldn't be off base, nor anything surprising, if the answer was yes.
CaptainHadouken 03.21.13	Agreed. i really think music history should be required with the taste of this younger generation.
Sapient. 03.21.13	I think a lot of teens who are depressed or have been depressed at one point or another go to music as a source for comfort and inspiration(at least that is how I've seen my situation). It helps more than harms
YetAnotherBrick 03.21.13	what sixdegrees said basically
amemento 03.21.13	listening to kings crossing by elliott smith makes me want to kill myself so excellent research scientists i admire your work
CaptainHadouken 03.21.13	It depends really, some teens do use music as an outlet to escape the shitty situations they may have (lack of social interaction, bullying, depression, Family issues). If they listen to a certain type it can aggravate it to make it worse, but the side i hope for is that outlet actually helps them. I have had some friends off themselves , and you would have never known it. Even if you asked them, they would deny anything is wrong. Its a shame to see things like that happen.
sinisterplague 03.21.13	I've always listened to more music when depressed than I did read books. There really is no evidence that music plays a causal role in this, unless you're playing Joy Division all of your waking hours.
CaptainHadouken 03.21.13	Yeahhh joy division i could see doing it. I think it would help more, but i can see both sides of it too.
antigravity 03.21.13	it IS the ultimate depression album
Trebor. 03.21.13	I think it's more that depressed people are drawn to music and not the other way around
CaptainHadouken 03.21.13	Treb makes a good point.
antigravity 03.21.13	pretty much
Acrosstheshield13 03.21.13	I'm depressed about most of the shit on this list..
CaptainHadouken 03.21.13	Most of this is good regardless.
CaptainHadouken 03.21.13	Why am i not surprised.
tommygun 03.21.13	hmm
Dolving999 03.21.13	I swear to god, teens nowadays have such shitty music tastes... When I was 10 I heard RATM, now kids that age listen to bands like Asking Alexandria or Black Veil Brides.
Wolfhorde 03.21.13	Sounds like the logical fallacy of equating correlation and causation.
ConorIsNotHere 03.21.13	Considering teens are full of unnescessary angst (me being of no exception), it makes sense. Though: Treb makes a good point. [2]
