Why Do People with Depression Like Listening to Sad Music?
My first thought seeing the headline was of this quote:<p>&quot;What came first – the music or the misery? Did I listen to the music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to the music? Do all those records turn you into a melancholy person?&quot;<p>- Nick Hornby, High Fidelity<p>Also relevant from the book:<p>&quot;People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands - literally thousands - of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss.&quot;
