What music do you avoid and worry about popping up again?

What music do you think is a cultural or collective shadow you’re aware of?

    Love songs in Spanish, especially from Arjona, Enrique Iglesias or Luis Miguel but not limited to those.

    Also christmas songs, very annoying

    For me, early 2000s contemporary Christian music.

    I wasn’t allowed to listen to secular music. So I made a lot of emotional connections to contemporary Christian music. Which is pretty cringe in retrospect. Whenever I’m reminded of it, I have a pretty conflicted set of emotions about it.

    I usually only listen to that music that I listened to in my early teens when I feel like wallowing in self pity. But I can’t deny that I feel extremely nostalgic about it. It makes me wish I would have made those same emotional connections to music that wasn’t associated with really disturbing fundamentalist Christian ideologies and propaganda.

      Ehhh you had to adapt to what you had access to. I wouldn’t judge you for that, no way.

      Oh hey, I was in a similar boat. I was such a big fan of Skillet that I got them to sign a skillet at one of those Christian music festivals. I listened to them again recently, those lyrics are definitely propaganda.

        I had a friend that was in that scene. He played this stuff in his car all the time. Wasn’t terrible music, if I recall, but I never listened to it when I wasn’t bumming rides.

    Anything that’s written primarily for commercial purposes?

    (I don’t know much about Jungian philosophy)
