I suppose it could make you relieve more stress if you are relating to sad music. For me though, I'm the opposite. When someone links me to a song with lyrics that is incredibly sad, I start to relate to the song like anyone else which makes me feel TERRIBLE. I do know a friend who gave me a sad video on Youtube that creatively connected to those who have been bullied and from there, I can understand feeling better because the video shows that other people feel the same way you do. But for music with lyrics? No, keep it away please, I don't like feeling bad. Though music without lyrics that just has slow and deep violin or piano does make me feel pretty relaxed and relieved. I guess its just complicated for me like that.
Happy music doesn't have any negative effects on me. Sonic Unleashed's "Endless Possibility" to me is one as it is very upbeat and persuasive, which makes me feel like going out and accomplishing something. No need to pretend being happy is fake or unrealistic, its good to be happy.
IIN that sad music makes me relieve more stress than happy music?
