Is Modest Mouse "bad for me"?

[The_Modest_Fandango]

I really like them, but I want to make sure they are not going to hurt me. Like, I recently decided to give up Eminem, cause let's honest, that man has some pretty bad songs. So I'm trying to listen to things that won't drag me down so much.

Well here's the real question: how would music hurt you in the first place?

I dunno anything about Modest Mouse, so I can't answer the question specifically. But non-specifically, I would say that only you can answer that question. I think music and mood often play off each other.... so if you are depressed, you may want songs that mirror it, but by the same token, listening to songs that mirror it also keep you in the depressed mood rather than lifting you up. If you find the music not helping lift your mood, or you find it keeping you in a state of mind that isn't very positive, then maybe you should not listen.
