The problem is they put horny and angry at opposite ends but NIN are both horny and angry.

[-] hobovision@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago

Same with Deftones.

It’s not a good chart when there is no difference between all emotions and no emotions.

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

They have only heard one NIN song and it shows.

Yeah, seems a bit misplaced. They were always a fairly bleak and moody band... and it only got darker when Billy Corgan started losing his hair, bought a synthesizer, and entered his Nosferatu era.

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.

Idk, sublime has pretty happy melodies even if the lyrics aren't

[-] baines@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[-] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

For sure, this meme is all kinds of wonky.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 weeks ago

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.

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.
