Eureka!

I figured out why I listen to depressing music...

It touches those parts of me that I try to hide for fear the light will destroy.

Happy and sad are both internal assessments, too. If you're looking at sad or depressing or anything else as things in and of themselves instead of as reactions to stimulus you're looking at something that you've made. Affection is a pretty normal feeling for things that we've made ourselves, right?
