Yeah I agree. It took me a lot of time and basement dwelling to get as deep into music as I am now. If I actually had a life, I would probably listen to REM when I'm sad and leave it at that.

EDIT: That makes it seem like I didn't even read what you wrote. What I mean is that I agree that people avoid those emotions because they haven't gotten used to confront them in art in a more direct, uncomfortable way. Everybody Hurts by REM, for example, is a more safe, self pitying way of dealing with feeling a bit blue. The song is like a friendly hug from someone who understands. It's not going to make you feel depressed about how **** everything is like some post black song about the meaninglessness of existence (if that's a thing that exists. I'd imagine it is).
