Do you ever wonder why you want to listen to sad music instead of something that would make you happier? Just something I think about sometimes.

It can be cathartic.

Cathartic is the perfect word for music I think.

Well, for example, when I get into work in the early morning, especially at the weekends, there be rave/drum and bass on one of the channels I listen to.

I like those genres but first thing in the morning, I prefer more chilled/contemplative and even "sad" sounds. Helps me take the edge off the day ahead.

For sure. Super intense music is something I avoid when I first wake up.
