the game of thrones theme music really annoys me because the harmony just moves between tonic minor and tonic major with no modulation
*sad and brooding* "der-da-da-da, der-da-da-da, der-da-da-da, der-da-da-da" *suddenly happy* "der-da-da-da, der-da-da-da, der-da-da-da, der-da-da-da"

the obvious explanation for this obsession with making young people "hear things that upset them" is some sort of weird psychosexual boomer castration complex
Not once have I seen an explanation for why teenagers must hear things that upset them in virtue of the unspecified speech-acts being upsetting, nor have I ever seen an explanation for why teenagers will be forbidden to express displeasure with upsetting things.
