Welcome to the Tweed Trends Podcast. Hey, Evette, what's trending today? Hey, I'm Evette, hey girl, and you are tuned in to Tweed Trends. It's the quickest way to find out what's trending today.
Hey, hey, hey, today's episode title is Neural's Peak Depression. Let's get started. Hashtag depression. You know, depression is really big.
There have been a number of celebrities that have taken their own lives due to depression and the inability to cope and deal with it, and possibly even not even getting any type of help for it. Well, now Twitter is all about because Michelle Williams has checked herself into a mental health facility for depression. And in case you're unsure of who Michelle Williams is, she's the third member of Destiny's Child. But the funny thing is, she's been the butt of so many jokes.
She's like Destiny's Step Child, the one that everybody says didn't make it. She didn't turn into the big star like Beyonce and Kelly Rowland did. Then it's just Michelle. So it's no wonder in my mind that she suffers from depression because there are constantly people at her.
Well, then, you know, Katy Perry also opened up about her, what they call the situational depression, and I don't think that's a type of depression, but that's how they described it because her depression came about from the release of her album, Witness, and how it was received. She went into a depression about that. And I can remember going through depression that I know of twice. And when I guess she would consider it situational, did you catch my ear quotes there?
And you know, it's a tough thing. And you have to be strong enough to realize that you need help because in some cases, people just think, oh, I'm just sad right now or I'm just not feeling it. But depression is real and it's serious. So serious that over in India, middle schoolers now take classes on happiness to try to combat low self esteem and depression.
So what do you think about that idea? If we got started earlier, could it possibly have a better outlook for adults over here in the United States? Hmm, that's worth a thought. Hashtag musical peak.
Did you know that you'll likely stop discovering new music right around the time you turn 30 ish? Well, streaming music service these are surveyed adults from the United States, the UK, Germany, France, and Brazil, and found that music fans tend to reach their musical peak several years before entering into what they call a musical paralysis. Well, what does that mean? Well, musical peak means that you listen to 10 or more new tracks per week.
And then the paralysis is when you stop discovering new music altogether. Now the reasons they came up with, 25% said that their jobs were demanding, 18% that musical choices are just overwhelming. And then 14% that they're caring for young children and that just prevents them from listening to music. Now, honestly, I think that 14% should be higher, but I guess that would depend on how many males versus females were in this survey.
So also, they say that 60% of the people yearn for more time to listen to music and even 53% said that they're going to set a side time in the future to seek out new artists. And we all know how that happens when you plan to do things in the future. So I don't know. The reason altogether is time, not enough time, too much time to do another stuff.
And I guess it stands to say that once you find yourself, you know, you reach that certain age, maybe you've already found your life's playlist as well. So it's not even necessary to hear new stuff. Who knows? Hashtag funerals.
Once the last time you've been to a funeral and thought to yourself like, oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm sitting here all this time, all this stuff I could be doing right now. And I'm listening to this eulogy, these people sing, this person talk. Oh my gosh. Well, guess what?
A funeral in japan offers drive-through services. Yes. And in aging japan, there has become a demand for more efficient after life services. And they feel that it's just necessary right now.
So initially it was created for people who have limited mobility due to physical disabilities or old age. But then it turned into a thing where businessmen would go on their lunch break, pay their respects literally because what they would do is they would drive up, you sign in on a touchscreen, leave a note for the family, and then you pay the customary condolence money. So in japan, it's a custom that you would pay condolences, financial condolences to the family. And then if you want to say a prayer, they have a little electronic instance burner available for you to give up your prayer as well.
Well, if you think that's crazy, how about in your spare time, look up mail order funerals and rent a monk system? Yeah, you heard me. Rent a monk. Ha ha.
Yeah, go look those up. Alright guys, well that's today's Tweet Trends. Do me a favor, head on over to Twitter and follow me at hevet. That's at heye, e-b-e-t-t-e, or just look for the hashtag tweet trends.
