Why do people continue to listen to sad depressing love songs?

[Anonymous]

I kno back in my teenage days, sad depressing love songs or emo music hit my soul a bit, Nimitz tat was short lived and I can’t stand them now.

I never get that. I’ve never understood people who lean into sadness and melancholy and all that. What a fuckin’ bummer, lmao. Literally the last emotion I want to feel.

You ever hear the song Terrible Things by Mayday Parade? I never want to hear that song again in my life, lmfao, I was like “WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THIS?”😭😭😭

[Asker]

Now I’m curious 🧐 lol

[WhiteSteve]

About the song? Listen at your own risk. It’s so sad😭😭😭

[Asker]

Will do. Thanks 😅

Maybe to feel something? Or because they want to feel sad because they relate. I on the other hand would narrate a story in my head while music played personally. And sometimes even if it was a sad love song, to me some lyrics can go either way and it didn’t have to be about a relationship even if that’s what the song seemed about.

I have never seen the attraction to sad, sappy love songs. I want music to bring me up, not down.

[Asker]

Yes! 🙌

[ChicoFromThe305]

Bad choices in dating I guess, I don't know, maybe they are just depressed that they enjoy depressing heartbreak songs ha

[Asker]
