      This was back in '89 and '90 but my freshman year of HS we had a juke box in the cafeteria. One song that got played a lot was GNR's "Mr Brownstone". About drugs.
      But yeah, a lot of times the older generation doesn't pay much attention to the new generation's music. Even if they do, every generation had plenty of sketchy songs. Not sure why your principal freaked out over "pumped up kicks". I guarantee the music he grew up with probably had a more negative message.

    "It's alright" by Mother Mother
    Ok, this would not make the list because it both does and does not fit, but I want to mention it anyway. The song doesn't exactly sound like it's full of energy and happiness, but it has a bit of it. And the "it's alright" is not sarcastic, for those who guessed that. It's about coping with mental illness and forgiving yourself for things you did or said or just thought. "It's alright, it's okay, you're not a monster, just a human, and you've made a few mistakes".
    It also talks about the fear of finding out who you are "behind your meds", feeling lonely and lost, etc.
    It's just a song that's... heavier than it's cover (title? Vibe?)? If that makes sense.
    And I encourage anyone with mental health problems, of any kind really, to give it a listen. It's healing, trust me.

    Other than "Pumped Up Kicks" who is about school shootings, there are also two more songs with a happy sounding music but with depressing and dark lyrics that I honestly love so much. The first being "Little Talks" by Of Monsters and Men, who has a really energic and cheerful music, but it talks about depression, loneliness and madness manifesting in a person who lost their loved one and is slowly dying and allucinating, communicating with their lost loved one. Some of the most heartbreaking verses are, for example: "You're gone gone gone away, I watched you disappear. All that's left is a ghost of you" or "Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear". The main strength of this song is also the fact that there are two singers: the girl doing the woman slowly losing her mind and the guy being the dead husband trying to communicate with his wife.
    The other one is "Enola Gay" by OMD, which is one of the most iconic 80's song. Classic elettric and energic melody, that sets your mind immediately to the 80's musical background, together with songs such as "Take on Me" or "Walk of Life" or similar. This song is actually about the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, more specifically about the pilot, whose mother was called Enola, and if I'm not mistaken, the bomb or the plane was named after her. It's says it really clearly in some of the verses such as "This kiss you gave is never ever gonna fade away" and "It's 8.15, and it's the time that it's always been. We got your message on the radio, collision's normal and you're coming home" referring to the release of the bomb and the explosion and "Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today?", which makes obvious the reference and the real story behind the lyrics.

    I'm shocked that nobody even heard about "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. It has a catchy beat, but the lyrics are pretty dark and disturbing. It's about poverty, and the lyrics are stating insane fantasies like hijacking a plane, the pre-chorus "Don't push me, I'm close to the edge, I'm trying not to lose my head" sounds like someone warning others not to put more misery to their life, because one day they'll just absolutely SNAP.

      Which is how they also wound up with the nickname "fun dot" from some fans. And speaking of their lead singer, Nate Ruess, many of his songs are like this. They hearken back to the fact that he's from Glendale, AZ and left his duo, The Format, to move to NYC. This method of songwriting has been incredibly popular out in that desert sun for decades now. If you don't believe me, the Gin Blossoms' songs Hey Jealousy and Found Out About You are a good place to start.

    What about Rehab by Amy Winehouse? It has a great happy sounding beat with a catchy tune yet the story of the song is Amy’s saddest and most disturbing resulting in it reflecting her death.

      You're aware school shooters are as much of victims as the people that get shot, right? The system causes them depression and the need for revenge, righting a song about it is the ultimate way to stop it cuz it's healthier.. it's like "Teenagers" by MCR, where they have a message at the end of the music video for teenagers that feel like they want to do sth like that.

    • @ev6564
      @ev6564 3 роки тому

      ​@@peacefulleo9477 I have to respectfully disagree with the first sentence of your comment. School shooters, though it's definitely horrible they are lead to those things, are not as much of victims as people who are getting murdered in a place that is supposed to be safe. I've been bullied before in school, so I know how it feels to not feel safe socially in school. But to fear for your life?
      Also, sadly, a lot of school shooters will shoot indiscriminately and aim to kill as many people as possible, even if that person never hurt them or was bullied themselves.
