Personally, I think this makes perfect logical sense... I read somewhere that only about 100-200 people have commited suicide after listening to this. Now... generally, really sad people will listen to sad songs, therefore the majority of the people who listened to this song + commited suicide, must have been really depressed to begin with, hence after listening they couldn't take it anymore and commited suicide.

Agreed. I don't think any of the suicides connected with Gloomy Sunday have truly been spontaneous; surely there are some urban myths that have their roots in some true accounts of suicides linked with the song. Perhaps it might have triggered some suicides, but I'm sure a lot of the references in the suicide notes were made because the individuals felt the lyrics expressed how they were feeling in a manner they couldn't.

Yea, its more like... what they call a "selection bias" in stats.

the song does sound sad, but not till a stage where you can kill yourself.

coldplay has some sad songs. but it never triggered suicides, all this shit is just mere coincedence 8-)

It doesn't really matter if they are disbanded or not(unless you're a fan), the songs are still there...

The past songs are still there, but there will no more future songs. :cry:
