I don't know if it's me but having dealt with depression most of my life, I find "happy" music irritating and grating. Pharrell's "Happy" has to be one of the worst songs I've ever heard in my life.

Sad music tends to be more beautiful to me but I don't know that it necessarily affects my mood. But I could be wrong.

Either way though happy music is not happening.

There is happy music that isn't pop. I agree that "sad" music sounds more beautiful, at least to me, but I also see it as affecting my mood if I listen to it constantly.

So I often choose either to not listen to music at all or to listen to "happy" music that doesn't suck, even if it's not so easy to find something I like.
