I missed this earlier. What is this, speed/black metal? I had a phase in high school where I went through different metal sub-genres but I quickly concluded I need my music to be more melodic, with accent on lyrics, I rarely listen to even rock nowadays. :feeling old:

I wonder if one can make any connection between a PD and a musical genre, I see a difference on this topic between pwPD and codependents/nons?, I think the latter tend to identify with more emotional/sadder/self-pitying songs. I do however share the dark-and-twisted-sadness kind of taste in music with my ex, but some of the shoegazy things I like he finds "gay" (I'd also describe a certain part of my personality as "shoegazy" lol).

I think its actually Anime Metal, I'm not sure. Its rather typical japanese thing.

Shoegazy is not in the dictionary o_O
In any event, PD music, after the weird boring stuff the SPDers listen to I dunno. But lets get you started with this ->

Nope, I just made it up, but shoegaze is:

Defined by highly distorted guitars, and vocals, usually high-and-breathless or low in the mix, sometimes absent.
A psychedelic style, but not "trippy" psychedelic, more a dreamy, distant feel.
Pioneeered by My Bloody Valentine, but few bands actually sound like them anymore.
Loud guitars and quiet vocals is a usual dynamic.

Hahaha, I honestly feel a bit physically strange after listening to this, as if it's about to trigger a panic attack in me. I do like listening to experimental stuff.
Does this song (is it a song? a dj set? I don't know? ) elicit any reaction in you, what kind of? It makes me feel a bit disoriented.

I once played in a shoegaze band... I can remember fantastical shows in bars and fests even, truly staring at my shoes manipulating my multitude of pedals for a while, yet having an aggressive and foreboding stage presence. It too had some odd jazz and punk aspects, I'd like to play with those boys again although they all have drifted, fools they are, but good music men. Playing music brings a good quality attention towards one, if they play well and look very interesting. I like when people look at me, and oh the applause and grand comments at night time funs...

Did you go to a music school/had private lessons or did you learn to play an instrument(s?) by yourself. (I play piano) I must say I like the diversity of your education, bA, it reminds me of my own, a bit , it was very important for my father to invest in my education/sports/travel/various hobbies, I can never forget this, it did make me a person I am today.

I never took lessons or had education in music, so I would say self taught. Many many hours fiddling around and messing with music books and playing along with music I like. I started on a carious old hunk of wood and steel around 13. I went through a brief YouTube learning phase, but it's not really my things. So many summers noodling on basses and guitars and reading tabs... I am a happy man being alone playing with my synthesizers and guitars. Playing in a band is always extremely tumultuous, I can be a bit dictating, but astute and hyper productive.
I would second what you said, learning music must've shaped the way I see things and what I know. Piano is very fascinating, such an urbane instrument. I'm glad you play, it increases intellect and processing speed and coordination, how much better does it get? Did you have lessons in piano and what do you most like to play?

I would say my primary instrument is bass and guitar, but I can record drums and keyboards and horn, but my piano playing isn't very admirable.. the lack of real training sortof shows in an experimental and wild way.
