Maybe the sad music makes your subconscious focus on your problems, which helps to solve them and make you feel better. That's just a random thought though, nothing whatsoever to back it up.
I know a lot of people are irritated by happy music because we perceive the emotions in it as superficial and much less genuine and sincere than we do in sad music. I'm definitely with these people, because I can't stand music that doesn't feel sincere. That's why I like a lot of very naive, idealistic sort of music though, because the songs are both happy and keep their sincerity because they're so naive and there's something I love about that.
Personally I love sad and happy music. A lot my very favourite music is at it's core about sad things, but optimistic as opposed to depressing because it's also about overcoming those obstacles that life gives you. Maybe that's because I have a fundamentally optimistic outlook despite life being far from perfect. Then there's political music, which is usually neither happy or sad just angry :P
IIN that sad music makes me relieve more stress than happy music?
