Does listening to Lana Del Rey make you depressed?

[Anonymous]

Or any other artist at that.

She makes me sooooo depressed and I don't know if I should stop listening to her songs cause I love her so much and she gets me but at the same time puts me back into depression that I keep trying to fight off.

Music definitely affects the emotional state of mind.

As a hip hop fan, I can empathize with u.

Most hip hop music isn't necessarily optimistic and happy. Even the most hardcore. fan of the genre can't refute this.

I've noticed years ago that listening exclusively to deep lyrically dense hip hop, would negatively affect my mood and slightly 'depress' me

So I branched out and listen to more genres; and my mood is way more balanced.

So all things are good in moderation... including Lana Del Rey. Make sure to listen to some more happy and optimistic music to balance yourself out. 8-)

I have been trying to branch out definitely but it doesn't help that I went from Lana del rey to The weeknd... if you know who that is you will know he is just as depressing lol. Anyways I think I need to move away from artists like this for a while as much as I love them.

i love lana and i listen to her music all the time and honestly it does make me feel really melancholy when i hear it so i would say so

[Asker]

she's amazing

I've only heard two songs from her (I don't usually listen to music in English) These songs were on movies.

Young and Beautiful (from the Great Gatsby), I felt a lot of emotion and yeah it did make me feel depressed, but I really like that song.

Once Upon a Dream (From Maleficent), I cannot explain the disappointment I had after hearing this song, It was monotone, emotionless, and she sounded bored (and I was super angry because my favorite Disney song was ruined)

So I'm not sure how I'd feel with her music...

Try listening to Blue jeans, born to die, body electric. Those ones are amazing. And depressing of course.

[isabellemarss]

Yes. I'm addicted to her music. And the depressive, sad, empty, heart-gripping feelings that go along with it. I feel like I'm the star in a tragic old novel or film when I listen to Lana del Rey.

But if her music triggers your depression then it might be time to stop listening to her songs as much as you do now, because I don't think that's cool :(

[Asker]

That's the thing I went through a stage where I was listening to her and oNLY HER haha but it's because I was really depressed and she calmed me down. Now I feel like I want to get out of that depression but listening to her both helps me and takes me back a step... I can't explain it. Like happy pop music makes me want to puke to be honest I just find that stuff so cheesy and unrelatable to my life.

[girlandhermusic]

I know right! She has an awesome voice and usually good music behind her but I don't think a song is worth much if it makes us blue. there are too many good things in life to focus on. :)

[Opinion Owner]

Me either XD

[meatballs21]

Could it be? That you and me... are the lucky ones.

(I find if I'm in the right mood, it suits me perfectly)

[Asker]

That's the problem haha I am depressed over a guy and listening to her makes me even more depressed but also makes me feel better in a way cause I feel like she gets me.

[Luv2BRealExotic13]

Yeah. It's either that or she kind of makes me feel as if I were stoned 5 joints in. My favorite from her is West Coast.

[abundantlyrich]

Yes she does. I only listen to her songs that are sung by YouTubers. Lana 's preachin' depression here!

[misscoffeehead]

Young and beautiful is probably my favourite, that one makes me sad

[Klaatu51]

never interested in her tbh

[Arab_Cutie1033]

Yes 😔 blue jeans is so not the business.

[Asker]
