Smashing pumpkins in the happy half???
And NIN not in the angry?
The problem is they put horny and angry at opposite ends but NIN are both horny and angry.
Same with Deftones.
It’s not a good chart when there is no difference between all emotions and no emotions.
They have only heard one NIN song and it shows.
“Killing in the name of!!” Tchum tchum tu tchum tchum !!

Someone only heard “Today” and never listened to a single other track before making this meme.
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”.
Lily is kind of happyish.
same about Sublime lol
Idk, sublime has pretty happy melodies even if the lyrics aren’t
sure I’ll agree but the lyrics are kinda important
no amount of cheerful can make a song about losing to a heroine addiction happy
For sure, this meme is all kinds of wonky.
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.
Yeah, no kidding one of the most depressing songs ever: https://youtu.be/T69Yk6IccL0 – The end is the Beginning is the End (Batman and Robin soundtrack)
Also one of the best tracks ever.
I would argue To Forgive is.
The amount of comments saying “ANGRY AND HORNY IS A THING!” has me a little worried about y’all.
You’ve never had angry sex?
No, I sleep in a race car bed alone.
Lucky
I guess horny anger describes the incel condition pretty well.
Not saying it’s not a thing… More that everyone needs that to be in this shit post
Ah yeah, fair observation

May I introduce you to Electric Six?
Just keep fuckin walkin with Danny you fuckin bitch!
They definitely hit horny as well.
Is there a way to put NIN into both extremes of Angry and Horny?
My first thought exactly. To do so, we must bend space itself? We’d need a wormhole.
All you need is a piece of scotch tape and loop the graph back on itself.
No, we need to go further, we must turn the graph into a torus for ultimate alignment across all possibilities!
spoiler
(I have no fucking idea what im saying)
Uh, they put sublime under happy because it’s Ska-like. I don’t think whoever made this chart ever listened to any of the words.
What I got is arguably their happiest song, and it’s painfully obvious it’s a depressed person reminding himself that life can be enjoyed, is worth living, even when everything is shit.
Fuck it, fine, and it’s all the same, living with Louie Dog’s the only way to stay sane.
Yea Id put them a lot closer to angry. Id still slant them a little towards happy because of the sound.
While there’s a lot of disagreement on where bands belong, I think Rage Against the Machine as the pinnacle of Angry Music is one we can all agree with.
Yeah, especially printers. Fuck printers.
Great chart. RHCP is so much hornier than Weezer though.

Oh, is THAT where they’re from? Only they never seem to mention it in any of their songs
California?
Edit: I had written Calipornia, but didn’t notice that autocorrect changed it.
Bear fuckers
Steady on with that kind of comment, please. They might be sequoia fuckers.

I’m assuming every ska band is so far off the left edge we can’t see them.
If your band has a brass section, jump immediately to horny.
Especially if they’ve got a tromboner
If it was just a little but longer we could
PICKITUP PICKITUP PICKITUP
The happiest in sound, but the lyrics are definitely usually on the sad or angry side lmao
the mysterious unreadable watermark in the lower left is actually a blurred-out rude boy
The Cat Empire fell off the left, near the bottom
This otherwise insightful chart suffers from the lack of NOFX.
I still listen to Punk in Drublic <3

I can’t believe they’re quitting! I refuse to believe it.
Where would we put the FX?
90s NIN was very angry… then Trent went weird.
“I focus on the pain…the only thing that’s real” super horny.
“I wanna fuck you like an animal” -real sadboy hours
“Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot I’m going to come all over you”
Wouldn’t Deftones be in the horny section?
This is exactly the kind of discussion I’d like on this post.
Deftones are VERY horny
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.
The entire chart is wrong. There’s no “happy” alignment at all in 90’s bands.
You’re twisting my melon man.
Deftones are way hornier than that, most of their songs are about fucking
I disapprove of the idea that angry and horny are opposites.
Thank you for your wisdom “straightjorkin”
No Doubt on the happy side? Have you listened to the lyrics?
It’s the ska effect.
Sublime too!
