Song; Hunger Strike by Temple Of The Dog
Bands: Linkin Park and Soundgarden
Kurt Cobain was the first death that really freaking hit me as a teenager, but I am not bothered by Nirvana.
When Dime got killed it took me a while to be able to listen to Pantera again. That was a damn gut punch.
Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington still haunt me to this day because I felt like I was seen when I listened to their music — especially Chester. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life and have attempted 3 times (along with being an alcoholic). Those two bands just remind me of the dark times and I never want to go back.
Hunger Strike just because Cornell was part of that band and I loved the hell out of that song.
Bonus song: Bother by Stone Sour
Take everything I said above and multiply it by 100 with this song. Every word feels like a mirror on my soul and things get ugly


As someone from the U.S., given the history we know about the Trail of Tears and trying to erase Native Americans from existence, this isn’t surprising in the least. Sad, yes, but not surprising.
