I went with happy, although my definition of happy music is probably different to most peoples, as I often get people telling me that the music I like is depressing, when I find it fun and entertaining.

I had Ladies And Gentlemen We are Floating In Space on repeat last night, as well as You Are Free.

Furnaces and Zappa are my favourites though and you can't get much happier than them.

Usually I like something in between, bittersweet is perhaps the best way to describe it.

I inspired a thread! How fun! Anyway, I voted for sad music. I just like it better for whatever reason.

Bittersweet haha.

I always thought of it as sad but hopeful. It could go either way I think.

There are things to be sad about sometimes, but I mean, happier just feels better. Sadness has its place and time, but I don't really understand the "it's cool to be sad" thing. Not trying to say that applies to any of you, but there are certainly some people who fall into that categorization.

Is that actually a thing? I suppose I don't really understand it either.

Depends on the mood. But I'm rarely happy "happy" so I tend to listen to all kind of stuff.

And sometimes Sad music makes us happy and Happy music makes us sad !

I voted for sad music,
but it's not that I don't like happy music at all.
The most music I like is accedentially sad music, like Radiohead, most songs by Muse, Soundgarden etc.

Depends what kind of mood i'm in. My sisters funeral is tomorrow so you can guess what kind of music i'm in the mood for right now.

Well, my favorite album is Hospice, so I suppose this is pretty easy.

I voted sad music, mainly because I think the best albums are more sad-song-heavy than happy-song-heavy, but the truth is that the ABSOLUTE best albums have some of both (though still more sad songs). I just think an overly happy sound can get tiresome very quickly, but it can really lighten the mood of an album and keep it from getting too slow and contemplative (which makes it easier to digest in one sitting).

The majority of music I write tends to be pretty upbeat, but usually in a minor key with lyrics ranging from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other, so I don't think I have any particular tendency there.

This is impossibly difficult to answer. At first I thought it was without doubt sad music, but there is definitely plenty of happy music in my life that is just as important.
