Melancholy, dark and angry for sure. I’ve preferred it that way for as long as I can remember. Been into Metal, Punk, Industrial or Goth stuff since Jr. high and it goes with all my moods. Admittedly I am enjoying more mellow folky music these days.

@forestGeek I mean what songs do you listen to in each of those moods :D

-When I’m down, I usually listen to more upbeat music, such as baroque classical music. The music of Lully is good for that.
-When I’m happy, I listen to happy-sounding music from any genre. I want celebration music. Something bubblegum-dancey by Aqua or Toy Box. Or a magnificent classical piece like Pines of Rome.
-When I’m angry, I listen to Danse Générale by Ravel. Fuck yeah. I swear this piece exists just for this purpose. I saw this in concert; I leapt out of my seat to clap for it.
-When I’m nostalgic, I listen to sentimental music like Le Jardin Feerique, or music that reminds me of a specific time in my life.
-When I’m feeling romantic, I listen to songs that make me think of my boyfriend like “I’m Like a Lawyer…” by Fall Out Boy or I’ll listen to romantic classical music.
-When I’m feeling a little sexy, I listen to sexy music like Eurodance or Japanese pop by Koda Kumi such as “Shake It”, “Taboo”, or “But”.

Ever notice how “mood music” usually denotes a bad mood?

mclaugh's avatar

Upset/Depressed – anything with a bit of a hard edge
Happy – stuff that’s more accoustic
Angry – metal(even if it’s cliché and it’s not really my style, i find it takes some of the stress out)
Nostalgic – backstreet boys or any type of boy band.. lmao
Romantic – not really a romantic kind of person. i guess anything that reminds me of the person i’m thinking of
Feelin’ a little sexy – pour some sugar on me is my ultimate sexy song. =)

@chelseababyy post yours where’s yours

nxknxk's avatar

I tried answering this question but it was hard. I hope these answers are accurate.

Upset/sad is apparently every song on Hospice, an album by The Antlers.

Happy is mostly electronic music and The Beatles.

Angry is I don’t listen to music when I’m angry.

Nostalgic is somehow Fireworks by Animal Collective, the music video for which even has a YouTube comment about nostalgia. What is this phenomenon?

Romantic is I don’t know.

Sexy is Zeppelin like @rasputin6xc said.

This was really hard.
