I think this is a massive overgeneralization and isn't really true at all. Take a wider range of artists and you find the Americans turn out just as pessimistic and depressive as us moody gits. Conversely there's been plenty of British music geared towards optimism and a positive message. I think you're focussing on specific movements?
