for me I write a lot of bullshit and journaling mainly about pulp fiction to creepypastas and black metal helps out a lot. For example I am working on a piece/story about how me and my partner almost being abducted by some sketchy Native American in Blackfeet/Crow agency of SD MT area and I find this music Wedard a good representation of how me and my partner felt during that time.
A certain theme I have noticed especially when I go deep in my rabbithole of emotions and reflect, I see false hope clouded with I hate saying this victimhood as I do have a no means no fuck off attitude, as I get older I tolerate less and less bullshit as I'd rather be alone and content with my small circle instead of letting outside influences get under my skin. To hell with letting outsiders in my circle, I'll be civil but that's as far I trust anyone.
Another great tune to just cruise on a bike or board to. Ideals of maintaining and holding onto friendships that have long since gotten stale and futile are why I find myself in a contradiction of wanting to be sociable/have a yearning to find a new friend, but soon thereafter it's either myself who assumes this or there's a vibe that I am not good enough. Doesn't matter if I have the skills or can show how it's done I'll never be good enough to be taken seriously. So instead of fighting I just leave and write more bullshit.
Here's something I really really like not black metal but damn if they aren't channeling the Autopsy and Repulsion as of recently.
