Fun fact! I was literally tortured (yes, actually for real) by Collective Soul so anytime I hear one of their two "hit" songs I get flung into PTSD flashbacks. I have to cover my ears and basically sink to the floor or immediately leave the area if that's possible.

Suffice to say I hate them.

Also I was a retail slave for over a decade and hate all Christmas music. Super mega hate.

Edit: abused by the music, not the band. Sorry I didn't mean to be misleading.

Is there any way you can explain this a little more clearly because this is a shocking statement.

[–] weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'd rather not trauma dump about it. I forget and accidentally over-share sometimes, my bad. What I'm comfortable sharing is it was basically sleep deprivation through very very loud, repetitive music over a prolonged period of time. I'm mostly fine now, it was a long time ago.

Okay, at first I read it as the artist in collective soul like literally abducted and tortured you or something. I appreciate the clarification and I'm glad to hear that you're doing better now.

Yeah we really need some details about this. Who? When? Where? Why? How?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 10 points 3 days ago (3 children)

The band tortured you?

That's Heavy.

[–] weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Haha no. Just their music. I realize I worded it in a misleading way.

I typed up the whole story but realized I don't need to trauma dump about it. Tl;Dr: It was bad, it's in the past, I'm fine now. But I can't listen to the songs that were used.

I worked at a christmas tree farm for three years, we had a christmas 8 track. Same 8 versions of the same 8 songs blasted at full volume on a 1970's unit with those giant speakers.

It was 15 years before I could stand christmas music again.

Abusedby Collective Soul or with their music?

[–] weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

With their music. Sorry I realized later it was misleading.
