I think people are drawn to angsty songs (especially angsty love songs) because it's easy to imagine ourselves in the singer's position. It's sexy and tragic and (a lot) self-serving to feel this sadistic need to feel the way that the singers do.

I think I listen to a lot of angsty love songs in general. But the worst thing I do, is listen to happy up-beat music because it reminds me of someone I once loved. I mean, people usually listen to sad songs and cry, but no. I have to take it one step further and listen to a happy song because I want to feel miserable over some dude I was in love with once upon a time.

Like.

Why do I do that?
