I’ve always been curious why we do that. Of course I can’t speak for everybody, but I know that myself, and many others listen to sad music when we’re sad.
Wouldn’t it make more sense for us to have the desire to listen to upbeat happy music to make us feel a little better?

Oddly enough, the Pixar movie “Inside Out” explains it pretty well I think. It’s ok to BE sad. Sometimes in order to cope with the situation and move on from it, the emotions just need to be embraced rather than ignored. Embracing those emotions sometimes means bawling for an hour listening to sad songs.
