Epilepsy and popular music Mia Tuft, Centre for Rare Epilepsy-related Disorders, Karl Otto Nakken, National Centre for Epilepsy, Oslo University Hospital, NORWAY Objective Popular music reflects general opinions to a certain extent in the modern society. In this study we wanted to investigate how people with epilepsy are presented in different musical genres. Methods An internet search through www.lyrics.com, wwwazlyrics.com, www.letssingit.com, www.songlyrics.com and www.metrolyrics.com was performed, using the search terms seizure, epileptic and epilepsy. Results Three forms of negative attitudes or stigma towards epilepsy were the most frequent findings. Epilepsy was described as contagious, frightening, and related to sexuality. The stigma was most obvious in three specific genres; death metal, hard rock and hip hop. Yet, other types of popular music had a more positive focus, dealing with every day life of living with epilepsy, or being proud of oneself despite the disorder. The positive attitude seem to be a growing trend, and is particularly seen in artists themselves suffering from epilepsy. Conclusions Negative focus and stigma about epilepsy seem to be the most common presentation in popular music of today. However, a minority of artists, especially those with epileptic disorders themselves, describe epilepsy in positive or neutral terms. Negative attitudes/stigma Epilepsy as contagious, frightening, negative sexual descriptions Overrepresented music genres Death metal for example Malevolent Creations’ song Seizure: Living in fear Tearing your soul No cure for this pain This is your hell Given at birth Symptoms take course Seizure taking over… Consuming… convulse… Hard rock/heavy metal for example the Irish heavy metal band Therapy?’s song Infernal Love Hip hop for example Black Eyed Peas` song Retarded Artists with epilepsy representing a different focus Ian Curtis (Joy Division) Susan Boyle Prince Neil Young Lil Wayne Chris Knox Elton John Adam Horowitz (Beastie Boys) Lapse I fall (how do you fall?) I fly (how do you fly?) I remember All of those skies (Lyrics: Chris Knox) Artists without epilepsy representing a positive focus, through lyrics Anthony and the Johnsons: Epilepsy is dancing Epilepsy is dancing She's the Christ now departing And I'm finding my rhythm As I twist in the snow … I cry "glitter is love!" My eyes pinned inside With green jewels Hanging like Christmas stars From a golden vein (Lyrics: Anthony Hergarty) Nick Cave: Christina the Astonishing Lyrics about a saint from Belgium, who was stigmatized because of her epilepsy, but later became an important eccentric heroine. Epilepsy described by people close to the epilepsy diagnoses (relatives, partners etc) Cage (American rap artist): Creep Describes stigma when his girlfriend gets ill with meningitis and is diagnosed with epilepsy ”Known in town as the creep that’s into zombies” (Lyrics: Cage) Hüsker Dü: Hardly getting over it Grandma, she got sick, she is going to die And grandpa had a seizure, moved into a hotel cell and died away My parents, they just wonder when they both are going to die And what do I do when they die? Now I'm hardly getting over it Hardly getting used to getting by Hardly getting over it Hardly getting used to getting by, by (Lyrics: Hüsker Dü) References: www.lyrics.com, www.azlyrics.com, www.letssingit.com, www.songlyrics.com and www.metrolyrics.com.
