Is there music that alleviates your dysphoria? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

Edit: I'm a little worried I may have misused the word "alleviate", which I thought means "to ease a little bit in a non permanent way". Sorry if I accidentally made you all confused. xD

I wrote this in another community the other day:

As to why I insist on buying female centric vinyls, I’m not quite sure, but it could have something to do with my gender dysphoria. I believe the psychological mechanism is too complex for me to even begin to understand, but I think I listen to what I want to become or what I would have wanted to be in the first place, gender-wise (voice, body, clothing, etc.). Maybe vinyl, being an older medium, brings me back to and helps me imagine a childhood that I wish I could have had? I just spitballing here though…

Here is the original post: https://piefed.blahaj.zone/post/821181/comment/4976422#comment_4977719

Can you relate? Is there music that alleviates your dysphoria?

Disintegration by the cure. Makes me focus on crying about other things :D

Holy crap.

The album marks a return to the introspective gothic rock style the band had established in the early 1980s. As he neared the age of 30, vocalist and guitarist Robert Smith had felt an increased pressure to follow up on the band's pop successes with a more enduring work. This, coupled with a distaste for the group's newfound popularity, caused Smith to lapse back into the use of hallucinogenic drugs,[citation needed] the effects of which had a strong influence on the production of the album.[citation needed] Following the completion of the mixing, founding member Lol Tolhurst was fired from the band.

Those are quite the production circumstances xD

Music is best when the musicians are high

tbh these production circumstances aren't that wild
