A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

•Pale blue eyes- Velvet Underground
•When you were mine- Prince or Cyndi Lauper versions are both great
•Gave you everything- The Interrupters
•I will always love you- Dolly
•I hate myself for loving you- Joan Jett
•You can have him- Nina Simone
•Fast Car- Tracy Chapman
I feel like being able to listen through this whole song without sobbing during a breakup is a clear sign of progress.
•Flowers on the Wall-Statler Brothers.
OG big unhinged breakup energy
Also doesn't necessarily have to be an official break up song to fit the bill:
•Sweetness- Jimmy Eat World
Always really loved that song, but just recently found out that it's apparently about learning how to not find validation in others. Maybe I was always drawn to it for a reason.
•Wuthering Heights- Kate Bush
Checks off the unhinged/codependent/doomed from the start relationship box even if it's not necessarily a "breakup" song
I will never know that kind of progress. I love that song but I cannot listen to it without crying, it’s so sad.
