Is it normal i prefer 'sad' music over 'happy' music?

Is it normal that no matter what mood I'm in (happy, sad, depressed, mad, excited, etc.) I would rather listen to what I think most people would call sad/depressing music other than any other type of music?

    I'm similar to you. I love listening to sad, melancholic music. It usually doesn't make me sad either.

    It is deeper sometimes and more creative. I prefer something dramatic to upbeat tune.

    You'd LOVE Sparklehorse, then. Listen to "It's a Wonderful Life" on Youtube.

    Music that most people call "depressing" is actually the most joyful music, because it's expressing true emotion or a true meaning.

    If you ask me, I'd say that the most depressing music is the bubblegum sunshine pop music on the radio. It's so shallow and has no substance, and yet it controls so many people. I think that's the saddest kind of music.

    I do to. I think sad music is just more powerful than anything else. Like hospice by the anlers. Its the saddest album i have ever heard. its a concept album and reading the lyrics to it is just so depressing. But it speaks to me more than most albums can hope to

    Yeah, I'm the same. I just prefer it, and I always have done. I love some happy music too (unless it seems insincere or overly chirpy in an annoying way, in which case I'll hate it). But yeah, sad music is the one for me. Although, it doesn't make me sad. I love it. I don't know why I prefer it, because I really am a very happy person, but like I said, I just always have done.

    Although, I'm having a little spurt of happy music today, so I really don't know. I do wonder why I prefer it sometimes, though.

    My favorite song is sad. It's called 'Squirt $quirt'.

    Squirt squirt
    Goes my dick
    Taste this treat
    Make you sick
    Like Antoinette said
    Eat the cake
    You can eat my
    Uncut Jake
    Squirt squirt
    Goes the beast
    Dive in my pants
    Have a feast
    Squirt squirt
    Now you're mine
    Dicks so big
    Take your time
