I cannot be the only one that could already be down in the dumps but then also will feel the need to throw on some sort of sad playlist. Whether it's over a stressful amount of class work or a serious break up, we like to put certain kinds of music on and really get in our feels. Hearing lyrics about lost loves and feeling absolutely alone and broken really adds to the experience, I guess. My apple music search history is full of 'sad playlist,' 'crying playlist,' and 'heartbreak songs,' searches. There is something about feeling my heart clench as I hear lyrics that I may or may not even relate to.
I'm unsure of why we like to make ourselves feel worse, but it might unintentionally be our minds and hearts showing us we are not the only ones feeling the way we are at that current moment.
