The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

The Arcade Fire's Haiti
https://youtu.be/tGvpUgo7ayY Controversies with members of the band aside, this song makes me cry every time. I have no connection to Haiti but the poignant vocals really pulls at your heart strings and makes you mourn for a lost homeland. The French lines really help too.
I have an AF song too that used to get me so emotional about my daughters - but I couldn’t remember the title yesterday. A line about “if I had a daughter”, maybe from Suburbs??? But yeah, the song is in me now.
