* The title character in ''Emma'' by ''Hot Chocolate''. Basically, the protagonist has been PlatonicLifePartners with a girl named Emma since he was five, and even then she wanted more than anything to be famous. When they were 17 they [[TheyDo got married]] but she was still depressed all the time due to not being able to achieve her goals, and eventually he comes home to find [[DownerEnding her dead with a suicide note saying she just couldn't go on.]]

* The protagonist in ''Music/TheSmiths'' "How Soon Is Now?", who seems to have some sort extremely introversion, possibly even a condition like ''UsefulNotes/AspergersSyndrome'', and is alone and miserable as a result. Particularily sad are the verses:
-> "There's a club if you'd like to go. [[HopeSpot you could find somebody who really loves you]]. So you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, [[YankTheDogsChain and you go home, and you cry and you want to die."]]
-->--

as well as
-> "When you say it's gonna happen now, when exactly do you mean? See I've already waited too long, and [[DespairEventHorizon all my hope is gone."]]

* [[{{Music/Nightwish}} Tuomas Holopainen]] while composing "The Poet And The Pendulum."

* [[TheProtagonist Camilo]], the young boy in Music/SaidTheWhale's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar0bmGshhTs Camilo (The Magician)]]. [[spoiler:He [[SurgarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments falls in love with a girl by the end, though.]]]]

* Music/EvelynEvelyn's [[ConjoinedTwins Eva and Lyn Neville.]] 'Abusive childhood' doesn't even ''begin to'' cover it.

* Music/EvelynEvelyn's Eva and Lyn Neville. 'Abusive childhood' doesn't even ''begin to'' cover it.

* Music/GaryBarlow from Music/TakeThatBand became a RealLife woobie when he was utterly humiliated by the public and had a massive breakdown when his solo career didn't take off as he'd hoped. While Gary had some initial success, he was quickly overtaken by fellow bandmate Music/RobbieWilliams, who took every opportunity to air his grievances in public and humiliate Gary whenever the chance arose. The music press also jumped on the bandwagon, labeled Gary as being a talentless hack, and criticized everything he did simply because he was involved. Gary calls this period his 'wilderness years'. It would be more than a decade before people realized just how much Gary suffered because of their ridicule.
** Unable to take the humiliation, Gary completely withdrew from public life and fell into depression. He gained a large amount of weight from stress eating during this time, so much so that people wouldn't even recognize him on the street because of the dramatic change in appearance. Once he got his weight under control and started looking like his old self, however, he still wouldn't go out in public without at least wearing a hat and sunglasses because, by his own admission, he wanted to be anyone but Gary Barlow.
** Gary tried to move forward with his life and decided to focus on being a songwriter and producer, music labels refused to accept his submissions simply because of who he was. Furthering the humiliation, the labels would enthusiastically accept his songs when he submitted them under an assumed name.
** It wasn't until a retrospective in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Take That's break up did people start to reassess how Gary had been treated and come to admit that it was Gary who was responsible for Take That's success. Since Take That's reformation, public opinion of Gary swung so much in his favor that music journalists have said that if a negative story about him ever came up, they'd have to think very carefully about running it because the public would come after them rather than Gary.
** To his credit, Robbie Williams has been genuinely apologetic for his behavior towards Gary and they made amends before Take That reformed as a five-piece.
** Nigel Martin-Smith, Take That's creator and first manager, has said that Gary's initial lack of success was actually to Gary's benefit because while Robbie Williams had immense success, Gary settled down to a genuinely happy marriage and started a family whereas Robbie had an extremely tumultuous public life and has been in and out of rehab. Robbie has also said that he'd have traded his solo success for Gary's family life[[note]]Robbie's since gotten married and started a family of his own[[/note]].
