    Beautiful work OP and I love the discussion and debate it brought about … excellent!

      Can’t take credit for it as I shamelessly stole it. But it’s generating exactly the kind of discussion I was hoping for!

    NIN should be all over the place.

      NIN is the blue ring. 😆

    Foo Fighers in the eye of blandness.

    • Peppycito@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I would have put Ween there, not because they’re bland but because they’re everything.

    Kind of curious where KMFDM would fit. I would think top for sure. But i feel like most of their songs would make them swing left and right like a metronome. Example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ3lsxONdiw

      This one’s most appropriate for today’s times. My most listened song for 3 years running

    Didn’t Mike Patton from Faith No More eat a tampon from L7?

    So I guess that makes sense they’re close.

      No metal 😓? (Judas, Metallica, …)

      86 Korn, but we got peppers, pumpkins, cranberries, eels and cake.

  • PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Many of these bands are misplaced.

    Gin Blossoms is sad. NIN is incredibly angry. Mazzy Star is a little bit horny. Deftones is pretty happy. Radiohead is at least a little horny.

    • derfunkatron@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Weezer is a tough call because most of the time they’re sad because they’re horny.

    I may not fully agree with your chart, but i love the effort that went into this

    Glad to see Blur blurring the line

    RHCP is so much hornier than Weezer.

    Nine Inch Nails isn’t nearly that horny. Hell, even Closer is angrier than it is horny.

    source
    • troyunrau@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Starfucker and other songs would be considered quite horny. But it’s always more “rage sex” than sexy sex. So I mostly agree. Except when I don’t ;)

        Why did I read this is Douglas Renholm’s voice?

        Starfuckers is about media execs fucking over artists. Nothing at all about sex.

    No Ween?? No Mr. Bungle???

    • SPRUNT@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      They’re on their own chart that’s just variations of “Weird”.

      It’s my favorite chart.

      source
      • SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Melvins probably on that chart, too.

        source
  • aeronmelon@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The Cranberries are way hornier than that.

    source
  • Mustakrakish@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Sublime should definitely be more towards center, unless you’ve never even tried to listen to the lyrics.

    Smashing pumpkins in the happy half???

      Someone only heard “Today” and never listened to a single other track before making this meme.

      source
      • CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Also even “Today” is not a happy song lol. From Wikipedia:

        After the release and minor success of the band’s debut album, Gish, the Smashing Pumpkins were being hyped as “the next Nirvana”. However, the band was experiencing several difficulties at the time. Drummer Jimmy Chamberlin was undergoing an increasingly severe addiction to heroin; James Iha and D’arcy Wretzky had recently broken up their romantic relationship; and Billy Corgan had become depressed to the point of contemplating suicide and plagued by writer’s block. Corgan recalled that “after the first album, I became completely suicidal. It was an eight-month depression, give or take a month, and I was pretty suicidal for about two or three months.” … The dark, ironic lyrics of “Today”, describing a day when Corgan was feeling depressed and suicidal, contrast with the instrumentation. Michael Snyder of the San Francisco Chronicle said that the song is “downright pretty as rock ballads go” but that “Corgan manages to convey the exhilaration and tragic release he seeks.” Corgan told Rolling Stone that “I was really suicidal … I just thought it was funny to write a song that said today is the greatest day of your life because it can’t get any worse.” Corgan later compared writing the lyrics of “Today” and “Disarm” to “ripping [his] guts out”.

        The problem is they put horny and angry at opposite ends but NIN are both horny and angry.

      I think they’re just generally placed in the center white area, meaning they are equally angry, horny, sad and happy. Everyone in the center white is equally part of all four no matter where in the white they were placed.

      It wouldn’t be easy to list everyone in the center and say that if their name was slightly to one side or not meant they were more angry, happy, horny or sad. I think that’s why OP just made a huge white area in the center.

    • troyunrau@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yeah, no kidding one of the most depressing songs ever: youtu.be/T69Yk6IccL0 – The end is the Beginning is the End (Batman and Robin soundtrack)

      Also one of the best tracks ever.

      • blarth@thelemmy.club ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I would argue To Forgive is.

    can’t be angry and horny at the same time, that’s discriminatory to incel music /s

    source
    • aeronmelon@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Angry & horny = Limp Bizkit

      source
      • troyunrau@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Big Naked. Nine in Nails. Marylin Manson. Our Lady Peace, Alanis Morissette. There’s quite a few that could be both. But, alas, this is only a two axis graphic ;)

        Also, how to tell I grew up on Canadian radio…

    Wouldn’t Deftones be in the horny section?

    source
    • atomicorange@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Deftones and NIN need to switch places.

      source
    • FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      This is what I came here to ask, I specifically was looking for Deftones in the horny section and when I didn’t see it I assumed Deftones was excluded.

      Imagine my surprise when it’s all the way on the angry side.

      All the songs are Chino moaning into the mic, make it make sense.
