Careful, that can be fatal
I am confusion. (What do you mean?)
A lot of rap is lower vibrational. Talking about material gains and sexualizing. There's some good stuff out there though.
For me, early 2000s contemporary Christian music.
I wasn't allowed to listen to secular music. So I made a lot of emotional connections to contemporary Christian music. Which is pretty cringe in retrospect. Whenever I'm reminded of it, I have a pretty conflicted set of emotions about it.
I usually only listen to that music that I listened to in my early teens when I feel like wallowing in self pity. But I can't deny that I feel extremely nostalgic about it. It makes me wish I would have made those same emotional connections to music that wasn't associated with really disturbing fundamentalist Christian ideologies and propaganda.
Oh hey, I was in a similar boat. I was such a big fan of Skillet that I got them to sign a skillet at one of those Christian music festivals. I listened to them again recently, those lyrics are definitely propaganda.
I had a friend that was in that scene. He played this stuff in his car all the time. Wasn't terrible music, if I recall, but I never listened to it when I wasn't bumming rides.
which is pretty cringe
Ehhh you had to adapt to what you had access to. I wouldn’t judge you for that, no way.
A music lover since the day I was born ... and I've heard it all ... I've never heard any 'dark music' per se. If by music you mean music with lyrics, that's different.
There's no such thing as a 'musical shadow'. Jung's 'Shadow' consists of psychological parts ('garbage pit') you're not aware of because you're hiding them from consciousness (for various reasons). What 'you consider' isn't a part of it.
Love songs in Spanish, especially from Arjona, Enrique Iglesias or Luis Miguel but not limited to those.
Also christmas songs, very annoying
Niles Crane?
Anything that's written primarily for commercial purposes?
(I don't know much about Jungian philosophy)
