Idk why lol, sad music ironically makes me feel better. It's kinda like crying... lets out the endorphins.

All the time. In general, the music I listen to always matches my mood. I listen to happy music when I'm happy and sad music when I'm sad. It's like a form of catharsis.

Listening to happy things when you're sad can feel like the music invalidates your feelings, and that can make you feel worse. Sad music serves exactly the purpose you describe: to cry, even when you have no tears left, and let go of all the bad stuff inside you.
