ITT: Famous people that suffered from real depression
ian wasnt really depressed. he was an emo chad who cheated on his wife and was the lead singer of a popular local band that turned famous. He was just an asshole with personality issues.
tom york
No one who gets famous is depressed.
For example, you don't remember any of the countless suicide bombers, but you do remember OBL, the organizer and mastermind.
The depressed people listen to that guy's music, if they feel comfortable enough.
It's obvious in hindsight.

joy division is terrible
i really don't understand why anyone likes that music, its fucking shit

I don't see how you can say a man who killed himself wasn't depressed. That's as dumb as the normies who get a little sad about their favorite Netflix show being over, and saying they're depressed.
>>24553987
He was a stupid attention seeking Chad tosser who made shit "3deep" tumblr music.

>arent we all waiting..
>>24554036
Who still killed himself.
Plus, how in the fuck is "tumblr music" even a valid criticism, for a band that was around like 30 years before tumblr was even thought of?
>>24554072
>>24554036
Lol yea his music was alright man considering the time it was made? Kinda paved the way for a lot of music today. Tumblr ruins it in a way though I agree. Ian was depressed... but he brought it upon himself. He was 6 feet, singer, confident, famous, cheating on his wife with groupie whores... so its hard to feel sorry for him.
>>24553807
>mfw from listening Unknown Pleasure and Closer I can tell that Ian just fucking gave up by the sound of his voice.
it took me a while but he was really out of it.
>>24553807

perhaps this was the last piece of music he heard, great choice
>>24554109
Man, I don't even fucking like Joy Division in the slightest, I just know the man killed himself, and if that's not depression then I'm a fucking peanut-filled log of shit.
if you're not dying of some horrible, terminal illness, and you fucking kill yourself, you're depressed, plain and simple.
>>24553956
This guy was it.

this is a terrible album to kill yourself to desu

Robert smith
>implying robin williams was depressed
literally impossible
>>24554036
yeah total chad here with those devilish good looks. seriously, listen to his lyrics and its pretty apparent that he was experiencing depression.
>>24553807
Billy Joel desu
>>24553807
>depression
>real
Keanu Reeves but let's be serious, millionaire actors and famous people don't have depression.
He only became famous after he died though.
>>24554042
Damn. That ending hit my feels too fast too hard.
>>24556537
Which proves you know nothing about depression. Depression has nothing to do with money or status or fame, it's a disease. Don't post in threads you know nothing about.

The album closer is a masterpiece, Yan was beyond salvation on that point.
>>24553987
Killing yourself can also be a pragmatic solution depending on your situation.
You have a pistol with one bullet left, and a Grizzly bear is eating you, for example. One bullet won't do shit to a Grizzly, but it'll prevent you from being alive while you're being eaten.

closer sucks dude

god awful, unknown pleasures was 10000000000000000x better

reverse searched this to find out he wrote Jesus, ect. glad/sad to know he is a truely depressed guy. If you're still online can you recommend more songs by him
>>24554132
IT WAS MEEEEEEEEE WAITING FOR SOMETHING MORE HOPING FOR SOMETHING ELSE
>>24553913
I used to have a Fred Rodgers soundboard (for prank calls, mic spam) around 10 years ago where one of the lines he'd say "When are you going to realize that you don't matter?" That line really stuck with me...
When am I going to realize that I don't matter?
Phil Ochs was pretty bad at the end.
>>24557195
So, you're saying that, in your opinion, a wealthy, famous, and desirable musician was most likely in a situation unrelated to any mental illness that no one knew about in which, practically speaking, killing himself was the best option of escape?
Please, illuminate me on what this situation could have possibly been.
What about this dude right here?
>Ian was a chad
I've seen it all now.
>>24554191
Or mentally ill in some other areas. In reality he probably had the love of his life who was faithful and was the perfect emotional and psychical release for him. He realized fucking groupies is just stress relief short term and that he fucked up big time. Being a bitch who couldn't have his way, he decided to make a mark on his life and others, especially his ex-wife. Very different depression than the kind people here feign. The depression that is soul crushing. Not to sound edgy but I my worse I felt like that one quote "And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." applicable to him yeah but in reality if he would have not been such a bitch he could have moved on. He killed himself over a girl, pretty shitty reason imo
This guy desu kouhai
>>24561763
Ribbons still kill
>>24559028
I saw it so I posted it to tell you about it
>nigga looks like Brandon
>to whomever gives a fuck/knows who Brandon farming weenies is
>>24561763
his depression was just a meme. he killed himself over parkinsons
i wanted to live and die like him for the longest time
his story is pretty heart wrenching
Michel Houellebecq always felt depressed due to his inferior genetics. r9k didn't exist back then, so he wrote everything about being a manlet trying to get tight hotties in his books. Read his books, he's a robot.
>Leonard Cohen
>Morrissey
The universe is suffering
Embrace your emotions as they are very legitimate. Logic and spirituality will collide and at this point you will realize that your differences are a necessary part of everything around you.

I tend to think the same but his lyrics hit home so much sometimes I can't see how he was able to write that without being depressed.
Lovecraft must have been one of the most depressed guys out there, after Poe probably..

Don't forget he was a spastic
elliott smith

does anyone have the wojak of ian hanging himself with "the idiot" by iggy pop in the background
>>24564720
He wasn't depressed, just frustrated by his own autism and inflated ego.
>>24562154
The Jar of Flies album carved out a place in my soul.
>not being from Manchester if you're from England
>not being at the capital of good music for england; Joy Division, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, Oasis
>London is passable music wise because of The Rolling Stones, The Clash etc. but doesn't compete with Manchesters influence
>Liverpool isn't an option because the only actual good band to come out was The Beatles and that's it
>>24558617
>tfw when you don't have Ian's looks or talent, but you do have his sadness
>>24568296
Joy division are from Macclesfield mate, oasis are shit. The Smiths and Stone Roses are the only good manchester bands.
>>24568296
>from cumbria
>pretty much nothing except wordsworth
being northern I like to associate myself with Ian and the Smiths and such, but I know deep down I won't understand those Manchester feels
>daddy issues
>drug addictions
>stabbed himself to death
>>24558001
The title track has some good ideas in it, musically; had their father given them enough time to actually learn their instruments, they could've written some unironically good songs.
>tfw the only solutions I know are suicide or alcohol
>Not posting the true robot musician
I guess you could argue he's not really famous but more of a cult musician, but fuck you he's famous enough.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeDfTiwYNg4
>>24553807
posting an obvious one
Seems like he was there until he got a lot more famous.
>>24554042
He did say with after his wife died of cancer, so he was depressed not not clinically depressed.
>>24570326
You won the thread, no story is sadder than Daniel's. Every single aspect of his life is just utterly heart-wrenching, and yet he just keeps on trucking.
I'm going to bawl my eyes out, the day he dies.
Which, btw, he is 54 years old...
>>24553852
Thom*
god bless him
>>24571454
pls summarise his story for me. I have listened to a lot of his music but never really read about his life, other than i know he has mental illness
>>24570943
Yeah he got fucked. Real, incurable, clinical depression. No amount of drugs, surgery, EST, nada could fix him.
P. spooky desu
>>24571585
There's the part where he actually scored a major label deal, and then had a schizo meltdown, became convinced that the label that signed him was from Hell because they had Metallica on their roster, and ruined that for himself. Then, he got signed to Atlantic, but his records didn't sell.
He never scored.
He still lives with his folks.
Probably the saddest part is that millions of hipster indie qts wear his shirts and listen to his tunes, but the same chicks would never give him the time of day upon meeting him, as evidenced by the fact that he never scored despite all the "groupies".
Never found true love, in the end.

BUT LOSE THE FEELING

I feel a lot of sympathy for him and like some of his songs (most of it is very bad imo though) but if he was born 30 years later he would have made videos on youtube where he would film himself talking to the girl he was infatuated with and be made fun of on reddit cringe where people would call him a talentless beta awkward creepy loser.

Somewhat legendary is some circles, Elliott Smith.
tfw no one cares about your sadness
tfw no one will remember your suicide
>>24553956
Life is but a memory,
Happened long ago.
Theatre full of sadness
For a long forgotten show.
Seems so easy
Just to let it go on by
Till you stop and wonder
Why you never wondered why.

I assume so.
Just thought I'd let you guys know what I'm very impressed that no one has posted Kurt Cobain yet. You've reminded me that you're not just some chubby, hormonal, teenage moralfags.
>>24574678
whoops, i meant normies not moralfags....i'm just used to calling people that because I'm a degenerate,
Not that famous but still.

Don't forget Dwayne "The Conehead" Johnson
Patron saint of /r9k/ comin through here
It's possible that he committed suicide. He said he didn't want to be singing 'Light My Fire' after 30, that the magic would be gone by then. He was coughing up blood from smoking and drinking so much and yet still continued to his ultimate demise.
