Does listening to music with dark lyrics make you feel better when you're depressed? - eviltoast

Why is that?

  • It doesn’t make me feel better, per se, but they can coax out crying which can be cathartic.

    It’s so weird because music has the capacity to change your mood, but when I’m sad I listen to sad music. Listening to happy music might be better, but I don’t feel happy enough to want to hear happy music. 🤷🏻‍♂️😭

      When I listen to songs (or watch shows and movies) I usually love, while sad, I start to find reasons to hate them. That’s not good.
