Been listening to Frank's "Angst" and thinking about the term.
from wikipedia
Angst is a German word for fear or anxiety. It is used in English to describe a more intense feeling of internal emotional strife. A different but related meaning is attributed to Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855). Kierkegaard used the word angst (Danish, meaning "dread") to describe a profound and deep-seated spiritual condition of insecurity and despair in the free human being. ...Kierkegaard's concept of angst is considered to be an important stepping stone for 20th-century existentialism.
Angst was probably first discussed in relation to contemporary music in the mid to late 1980s and 1990s. In the 1980s "teen angst" was expressed in music to a certain extent in the rise of "punk", but the word "angst" is currently more associated with, and was probably first used in reference to, the grunge movement and the band Nirvana.
Angst is also the name of a supermarket chain operating in Bucharest, Romania ... and the title of a KMFDM album.
There is also a fun Cracker song called "Teen Angst" ("...what the world needs now is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head...").
What makes you feel angst?

that would be telling, but it's an emotion I've become very familiar with lately
The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. |

My internet connection just went down for an hour, that gave me a fair amount of angst.
