Is it weird that I listen to black metal, i.e. dark music with lyrics about hate and destruction, and that makes me feel better when I am depressed, Cred Forums?

Weird? No.
edgy and gay? Yes.

I listen to burzum,and ive enjoyed listening to it while depressed. perhaps there is a connection?

It's not just Burzum, back when I was in college I just hated it, because it was in the city, there were people everywhere, it was disgusting, I hated them, I hated being there. So I listened to Dissection as well. The Reinkaos album. The album whose writer tried to design it with occult power to destroy the universe, and killed himself after recording it. It always made me feel much better.

Black metal just makes me feel like i can take on the world... gives me self confidence i guess

Truth

No. That's what metal is for.

No. You are not special.

No. You're not special for listening to it. You're just a faggot.
People like you are even worse than emo kids. Kill yourself.

I listen to DSBM when I'm depressed. It's the relief to know that they're as mentally fucked up and feeling hopeless as you are.

BURZUM which means darkness in the black speech of Mordor uses the lord of the rings as a metaphor for the honour and nobility of euro-pagan ayranism and white supremacy

You're not special. Go somewhere else snowflake.

I don't really understand it. When i feel depressed, i like inspiring music. But as i understand it, no it isn't weird.

I know, I am a National Socialist (i.e. Nazi) so if you're trying to make me feel bad or something, you're wasting your time.

Varg Vikernes has said before that he saw Sauron as Odin
The darkness of BURZUM is for aryan souls who hate the modern world for it is a disgrace to the Aryan Paganism

Used to listen to a lot of black metal/Satan music and thought it cheared me up. Would play bands like ACDC and GNR and think it helped when in fact it was just letting more negativity in. Try pray or meditation when you're down down if you really need lightness and stay away from satans charm

Well then you should be smart enough to not ask stupid questions about "dark music'' being weird.
Like Varg has said, being weird can be good.

Sure, whatever floats your boat.

Sad songs make me feel better to OP.

It's not so much sad, it's more like hateful, and powerful. For instance one of my favorite songs of all time is "My Journey To The Stars" by Burzum. In this song, he speaks about traveling to the astral plane in order to consume a spectral sphere of power and become immortal, and subsequently returning to Earth to bring worldwide hate-war between all the races. Just this idea of destroying everything this filthy world stands for, from a position of power, makes me feel soothed.

Obviously truly dark music does exist, because man is capable of creating darkness, even though it's true that most people who claim to create dark music are purposely trying to fake it in a pathetic and weak manner and just stupid and ridiculous.

it sounds good so it makes you feel good, just like good food has the same effect. Burzum is pretty fucking lame though, try some better black metal like Mayhem or Immortal

It's completely normal to enjoy good riffs and good metal songs. Burzum is inspired by classical music.

You're not serious. I know you're not. I'll pretend I never read that nasty pile of shit.

Immortal are good musicians but it doesn't possess a fraction of the spirit of Burzum, Mayhem and Darkthrone
These are much more serious bands

I always thought Burzum was just ok, I like Hvis way more than Filosofem. The only reason its getting so much attention now is because hipsters flock to it like its a "long lost art piece".

>immortal
kek
don't be grostesque, would you

It's always been an extremely popular band with an extremely passionate fan base. And also, an insane amount of bands see it as their number one influence.
Even tons of famous brands will never be anywhere near that worshipped
