To listen to sad depressing music and have an obsession with death

Every day I listen to the same three depressing songs and one light fluffy one. Then I find even more emo songs. Then I think about death and reincarnation. About souls and dark magic. It pleases me. I talked to my vocal coach about the music and she says its normal for musicians because we understand the meaning to the lyrics. Please help me. Am I emo? Or am I something else? Is it normal?

    It's normal as long as the music doesn't cause you depression. I used to listen to a lot depressing music, some of which I could relate to, but instead of helping me, it actually worsened my depression. Such a shame, because a lot of them were really good songs. I have an idea. If you don't do this already, write lyrics or poetry from your feelings. You can listen to the music to get it to inspire the words to come out more easily. :)

    You could either call it

    Torturing yourself with sad songs

    Or call it

    Helping to process things and relate to songs

    So whatever you think, it is the answer

    Btw, I torture myself too, or help myself, so I think it is normal.

    Its normal to listen to sad depressing songs and songs dealing with satanist things or evil things...normal. It just means that you are closer to being in touch with the devil
