Anti-Love Songs

Perhaps a Millennial could explain Taylor Swift's song "New Romantics" to me. It sounds like a horrific way to live. I like the song a lot, but the reason I like it is because it helps me to experience a mentality that I can't fathom.

"Don't Go Away Mad" by Mötley Crüe inspired this thread. It popped into my head when I was thinking about a woman I know.

Does the song below belong here? It's always struck me as being a sado-masochistic-type thing.

I'm not a millennial, but I get it.

However, this album introduces Taylor’s new mindset and approach towards love. We see her transition through a breakup and making the discovery that love is not a fairytale, and the chances of a happy ending is very unlikely – so it’s better to live life freely and not take relationships too seriously.

After feasting on Netflix this winter, I find that in the movies featuring the younger set both domestic and foreign that hooking up without the attachment of love is common and the angst is clear. Yet many of the movies have fairlytale endings. Perhaps the reality of percentages of divorces and long-term splitting of partners is making itself known across our cultures.

Every generation's "younger generation" goes through that.

Chris Cornell "Murder of Blue Skies"

Has the line "I can't wait to never be with you again". The first time I heard it I was like wait..what?

There's profanity in the song if that bothers anyone.
