Is it normal to listen to very miserable classical music?

I'm 18, and recently have developed a liking for extremely depressing classical music, such as requiems and church organ music. I don't think of myself as being unhappy though.

It annoys my family a bit to hear organ music all the time, my mum says it's like theres a constant funeral in my bedroom.

Is this normal?

    I like all types of music, including classical music, in fact I have more classical CD's than other types of music. I actually like some of the music you like as well, I have Faures Requiem and Mozart's as well, the Mozart was played at my wives funeral, BUT I also like cheerful classical music like The William Tell Overture, etc. Buy other kinds of Classical Music, not just requiems and organ music, too much of that will make you depressed. Balance it out with cheerful music, not just the sad stuff you seem to have.

    Try Adagio for Strings. There's also a techno version.

    Yes:) I tend to listen to depressing or very dramatic classical music. However, I think the biggest complaint I've gotten is that the kind of music is too relaxing and puts drivers to sleep!!! :( I guess it depends on the person, though.

  • There is nothing wrong with that; your just outside of the norm for the populary type of music. I perfer that music as well and it is rather hard to come by.

    I hate to say it but if you want different music instead of what you can find, a lot of video games use classical types of music and you can come up with what you like online with ease. Most of this music is crap but several game music is worth heeping in the garbage bin of mediocre crap to find.

    Heeheehee I do that too sometimes :) My family makes fun of it when I play that sort of music a lot, but oh well. It probably does them good to hear all the random stuff I listen to.

    Do you have a favourite requiem?
