Okay, so, being a good

Okay, so, being a good student, I'll restate the question:

<TOPIC>Is there a difference between "Name one band that you listen to when you're upset" and "Name one band that you listen to when you want to feel good"? Topics can and should include examples of artists and situations, and the general topic could easily transgress into what are your favorite bands for the proposed questions. Ops are encouraged to reply to any previous responses before theirs. Multiple responses are welcomed.</TOPIC>

NORMALLY, when you're upset you want to feel good, so in that case there shouldn't be a difference. If you want to wallow in self loathing, you can listen to a different band when you're upset. See, the thing with saying "a band you listen to when you're upset" is that it doesn't ask how you want to feel, it references how you already feel. Whereas, with "when you want to feel good", it's in the future tense, asking what you'd do to get a certain result. Apples and oranges, my friends, apples and oranges.

Now. On to bands, and I'll answer those questions. In my case, there is a difference, and there isn't a difference. See, it depends on the band. I can name one band that I listen to when I'm upset (Oasis) and a band that I listen to to feel good (Oasis.) Or, I can name a band for upset (Travis) and one for good (Doves.) It really does depend on what bands you name...

Why Oasis for both? Well, when I'm upset, if I want to stay upset there are a few songs of theirs that can do that to me. But when I want to feel good, they can do that.
