Smashing pumpkins in the happy half???

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.
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.
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.
Great chart. RHCP is so much hornier than Weezer though.

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.
deleted by creator
Oh, is THAT where they’re from? Only they never seem to mention it in any of their songs
Seems like Californication
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.
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.
slow clap 👏
Especially if they’ve got a tromboner
I’m not sure Cake qualifies.
If it was just a little but longer we could
PICKITUP PICKITUP PICKITUP
the mysterious unreadable watermark in the lower left is actually a blurred-out rude boy
The happiest in sound, but the lyrics are definitely usually on the sad or angry side lmao
The Cat Empire fell off the left, near the bottom
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.
Deftones and NIN need to switch places.
Someone has never listened to No Doubt or NIN.
Also Morphine, Offspring, Tool, and Veruca Tools, Blink 182 is way more happy and horny than Sublime. Weezer belongs where the Flaming Lips are and RHCP is hornier than both of them.
This chart is awful.
I was gonna say how is the Offspring sad!?
If they were happy then the Kids would be Alright.
Well fuck you got me there.
Also: What emotion would you say Self-Esteem represents? Cuz I would consider it split three ways between angry, sad and horny.
deleted by creator
Idk, Tool feels about right? Maybe slightly more angry and slightly less sad
Or Korn
So you can’t be Angry and Horny?!?!
Sure you can. All of the bands I the middle of the y-axis are equally angry and horny.
Not in the nineties, you couldn’t. 😉
can’t be angry and horny at the same time, that’s discriminatory to incel music /s
Angry & horny = Limp Bizkit
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…
Fellow Canadian here … you spelled Bif Naked wrong
Autocorrupt
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.
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?
Angry vs horny as a single axis…
NIN seems to have an angry tone. March of pigs, wish, hand that feeds, head like a hole. There is one sad balad as a cover. There is one horny lyric song, that also happens to be on the happier than sad side.
The angry/horny axis is silly. Go listen to Stinkfist by Tool and tell me a song can’t be both.
That’s why they left Manson off the list. That band was just horngry.
I went to NIN, Manson opened and Jim Rose Circus sideshow ran in between.
I had shitty seats in the back corner of my mid-sized venue. There were parents all around me in the cheap seats. There were no kids with them, but they were obviously looking for their kids.
The main floor was a sea of 90% under-aged goth chicks smoking.
The parents were all solemn and quiet.
Lights went down
Spot came up, the screeching cheer of 10k girls pierced my eardums. Manson walked out on stage
MANSON: “HOW MANY 14 YEAR OLD GIRLS WANT TO FUCK ME”
The GA seats double down on screaming.
All the parents went from disinterested concern to outright anger.
also, hand that feeds and head like a hole have core NIN angry sound and lyrics, but happy dance beat/groove.
If you want the angriest horny song ever, it’s definitely NIN - Closer
In OP’s perpective, placing NIN where it is is entirely based on Closer, and nothing else. Hurt could be sad without being horny.
It is possible to view Closer as horny and happy. The infactucation bringing him closer to god, is a successful antidote to the sadness he expresses them curing. Also the horniness infatuation in itself is a pursuit of happiness. IMO, if you see the cure for your sadness right before you, you cannot be/no longer sad. So, as it resonates to me, closer is happy and horny, not sad, despite lyrical evidence of sadness.
March of pigs live is totally different to the Fragile version. Latter is sad, Live is insane angry.
The Perfect drug is a bit of remake of closer, lyrically. Cleaner, but same. Drugs make you happy. More of a rhythmic masterpiece. Only is also post 2000 great that could be in the sad tab.
OMG. I’m not the only who hasn’t forgotten about Eels.
Still on rotation over here
Life is hard. And so am I.
No Ween?? No Mr. Bungle???
They’re on their own chart that’s just variations of “Weird”.
It’s my favorite chart.
Melvins probably on that chart, too.
Only ones I’ve ever heard are Radiohead and Rage against the Machine.
Sincerely, genZAnyway are yall telling me there are no bands that are both horny and angry?
Edit:
I was probably wrong about Radiohead. Maybe I mixed them up with radioactive by imagine dragons?I was probably wrong about Radiohead. Maybe I mixed them up with radioactive by imagine dragons?
This is Almas caviar quality bait.
Then my friend, you have some awesome tunes ahead of you to listen to.
Check them out. Some are great (Cranberries and Blur for example). I also guess you’ll know more than you think.
Nirvana In Utero is my favorite record of all time.
They aren’t my favorite band, but my god that record hits me right where I need it.
Not trying to throw an unrelated comment, just hoping the commenter gives it a go too.
If your curious, this chart is full of great artists.
Every band on this graphic is amazing. You’ve just been given an assignment to give each and every one a listen.
