Similarly, I wanna know what’s the deal with liking sad movies or sad songs! Also I like the horror genre too -obviously being scared is a negative emotion, but it’s like chasing the next high. I just have this appreciation when various art forms are able to arouse these big types of emotions. It’s much better than blandness, which is boring.
I think people just crave feeling alive, and maybe that’s what feeling sad does for some of us?
Btw you might like this Weezer song. It’s a little juvenile in that Weezer way, but the lyrics talk about exactly this! It’s called “All My Favorite Songs” (are slow and sad lol): https://youtu.be/AGPdXYG1msg
It’s very slow but biggest one I’ve found is !askmeanything@lemmy.ca. It does have good engagement though when someone posts:)
