i wish there was a name for a kind of song that’s catchy, upbeat, and worth dancing to, but also bittersweet and tinged with an unexplainable sadness.
the best i can describe it is ‘songs you would put in an amv when a long series is over and you’re reminiscing on the journey while holding back sobs’
good examples:
little talks (of monsters and men)
what you want (two door cinema club)
glad you came (the wanted)
sun is shining (axwell ingrosso)
i lived (onerepublic)
mr. big shot (anarbor)
Y’all I love this post and had to make a spotify playlist of all these songs, (including ones in the tags+replies)
Enjoy!
i’m glad to see people coming together with the same musical interest. i highly recommend looking through these, or adding your own!
General observations about this post coming back to it after making the initial playlist;
Lots of Imagine Dragons. So much Imagine Dragons.
Several people have come up with names for this genre, my personal favorites being “dance melancholia” “musical reprise” and “depression bops”
I see the homestucks in the notes/replies. I knew putting How Far We’ve Come in would pull y’all out of the cracks
I put it in the playlist description but if you have suggestions pop me an ask or put them in the tags/your post reply! The playlist is still a work in progress, so any additions are welcome!
long live taylor swift
For sheer existential terror I would recommend this song:
What a lovely upbeat, bouncy song about why the everlasting fuq did you write a song about that?
