NIN, Mudvayne, Chevelle, RATM, Tool… Might get more specific if I am pissed at a specific thing that has a song that fits that I know of. Mad over a breakup? Might put on All-American Rejects. Capitalism? RATM, Muse, and even Arlo Guthrie.
When you’re angry, what general mood of music do you tend to gravitate to?
I feel like angry uptempo stuff is better for when you are not angry enough about shit. I’ve never sought angry stuff out to reinforce anger, like the anger to me has always seemed like a symptom of boundaries not being in place to prevent greater harms or annoyances
Absolutely NOT to discount anything here but thats my experience which has me curious about your position. Im interested in a general music mood theory but its tough stuff, everyone’s different and it seems challenging to universalize anything to any kind of global benefit or at least nominal effect
Can i break the 4th wall here and ask an example of what makes you so angry? Totally none of my business but do you mind for educational and relational purposes here?

First instinct is to listen to something equally angry. I also sing along with everything, so it can help get some aggression out.
But if I am trying to calm down, I would throw on some Lo-Fi Girl stuff or the playlist I use for sleep.
