Any kind of song that mentions or depicts suicide. Every time I DO listen to one and people hear it or know what it is, they always ask me why I’m listening to something like that, like they think I’m planning on killing myself.
I mean, I probably will sooner rather than later, but holy shit not everything is symbolic, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. My taste in music has nothing to do with my failure to find reasons to continue living.

and you chose nsync over all the other questionable music options like backdoor boys??? its no wonder millennials are described as the worst society has to offer
in all seriousness though my idea of a guilty pleasure would be or perhaps
the first being reminiscent of all the carnival floats and the second being better than Brittany

This is songs that you'd never let people know you'd listen to...

Any song that I like enough to listen to by choice is good by definition. I don't care what anyone thinks of me for music I enjoy; it's they who need to get better taste. I'd be far, far more ashamed of showing myself to be a closed-minded person.
The funny part is, the genres that actually make up most of my musical self-identity (basically, all variety of rock) are the ones that catch people off-guard the most, not the stuff I like that is a departure from that. I always get reactions like "You're so chill, how can you listen to music that doesn't fit your demeanor?!" That's the point, dum-dum.

That hotline is worthless. They don’t help people, they put them on hold and feed them the same bullshit platitudes that any random stranger can give without actually knowing the person in question. “Oh I’m sure there are people who really care about you”, “oh you have so much to live for” but in that way that you can clearly tell that they don’t really mean it. Hotlines don’t help, any kind of security or comfort they provide is temporary and hollow. If anyone has even the remotest interest in preventing suicide or saving a life, all it takes is being that person’s friend and being there for them, listening to them talk, and wanting to spend time with them to show them that not everything is so hopeless. Directing them to a hotline and suggesting they talk to random strangers who have no investment in their well-being is almost an insult. That last bit wasn’t directed at you, but more just a general statement at people who DO do this.

Well, I have this discussion with myself fairly regularly, and have survived it for 40 years now. The collateral damage from suicide is pretty heavy (a first cousin, a couple friends, and an Uncle have both killed themselves in my life) - people do care about you.
Your family situation may be fucked (I get that), or perhaps your health is failing... Depending on your situation, I can sympathize with your position.
We have disagreed a bit on these forums, but I have always considered you a strong intellect and a valuable member.
Depression sucks, and can be a heavy burden. Find someone to share some of it with, preferably a professional. You are worth it.
All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.

Okay, I really didn't mean to sound pithy or dismissive with my post, and I don't know exactly how the hotlines work. But maybe you might look into local resources instead? For whatever it's worth, I am a pretty socially isolated person who's fought ongoing battles with depression and OCD, and I have found the mental health services in my area to be worthwhile (even though I was reluctant to seek them out at first). Not that it's solved everything for me, but I can say that I have one new friend that I probably wouldn't have had the nerve to socialize with in the first place if I didn't have a therapist who knows me pretty well and can give me a fresh perspective on life's frustrations.

I don't care what some people say depression and suicide are linked. I wanted to know once what depression felt like... Due to a mis-diagnosis I found out... Hot-lines may work for some but others... can tell when they are being "toyed" with. Also just being a friend and showing them that it is not hopeless matters little. Since some depressed people don't care about hope or it is in their mind so alien an concept as to be avoided. Some take this so far that they simply start "faking" their state of mind so people will just leave them alone:
In some cases they can't even ascertain reality or care to be a part of it -nor can they feel or give any emotion. If not for the hands-on approach of my family tackling me and taking away the knife repeatedly I doubt this would be being typed.
If someone ever said: "I know how you feel" I would have asked: "Have you been depressed and suicidal?" They would have responded: "Well... no." To which I would have said: "Then keep that trap you call a mouth shut or I will shut it for you!"
Most people just simply don't understand depression. Just being there and listening and being a "friend" is not enough in the most extreme cases. It takes actual "hands-on" & "being there" prevention to circumvent the worst of them ending...well... as these usually do. Alas I will NEVER EVER go back there!
Should have seen that coming. Fool me twice won't get fooled again.
oh i like a bit of rick now and then, its on my public playlist and regularly gets inflicted on the kids (both songs) its catchy with a nice summer rhythm despite the underground theme of the music vid
