ReplyDeleteI had not heard Hatsune Miku before nor Hitorinbo Envy ... or at least I had not talked about the latter.
If there was just one of these, I would probably recommend I'm Sorry.
Rolling Girl.
"Try to figure out why": some are very obvious like the Tokyo Teddy Bear.
We have ten criteria, yes, in the DSM-5. I wouldn't draw a linear relationship to the ones in the criteria.
Thinking about the "playlist effect" ... like when you [I] listen to Kim Carnes or Laura Branigan or that country/R and B singer who works with Carnes in the last year or two.
Rolling Girl is fairly obvious as being about sensory issues and social demands.
Okay:
ReplyDeleteHatsune is about being a star; a performer; losing yourself.
Envy is about a carefree childhood; being loved and cosseted by parents or important attachment figures. Then those figures might be older and loved/valued peers.
I'm sorry I'm sorry is about body dysmorphia and learned helplessness.
ReplyDeleteI know that the first four are about temperaments and situations. If I could poke into relevance for the parent.
ReplyDeleteJust received a contact from Liz Becker: author of THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MATT. In 2015 she wrote a useful second book. She let me into the Webs.com community which she created. Lots of wonderful pictures, videos and insights.
You can enjoy THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MATT as well.
I think I'm Sorry I'm Sorry is more about the effects of gaslighting, but your suggested meanings work as well.
Delete"the effects of gaslighting".
Delete[The spell checker claims there is no such word, at least when I write it all in one!].
Definitely the first eight lines create a situation where gaslighting is implied/inferred. When I hear I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I think of Little Red Riding Hood; the Wolf and Grandma, and in particular how Grandma talked to the Wolf.
And maybe Red Riding Hood was gaslit by her mother at points, which is where I'm Sorry I'm Sorry comes in.
Only last week [5 April 2016] in radio drama serial THE ARCHERS there was a storyline of domestic abuse that had "classic elements of gas lighting", so it's definitely not for 1920s-1930s movies any more, if it ever was!
One of my favourite resources on gaslighting:
Steve Hein from EQI and contributors on gaslighting and its effects
Ah - manipulating small elements of the environment!
Thanks for sharing your playlist with us! They all seem very depressing to me! I know you have been going through depression yourself. Do these songs help or do they make you more depressed. I am wondering because sometimes when I'm depressed I like to watch depressing movies. I'm not really sure why or if it helps or makes things worse!
ReplyDeleteIt helps me and, honestly, I just like sad, dark, and twisted songs with thought-provoking messages. I feel like these songs address some very important points that tend to go overlooked.
DeleteAnna....
Delete"Honestly, I just like sad, dark, and twisted songs with thought-provoking messages." Interesting that you should express that, Friend!! Because some of my most very favorite Bruce Springsteen songs are considered dark with thought-provoking messages!! I guess we have that in common!! ;)
