I wholeheartedly believe that music(and other forms of art, but especially music), at its best, is meant to make one feel one way or another. The stronger the emotion, the better.
One of the implications of this belief is that even the songs and movies that make you so sad, angry, or scared that you can't stand to watch them are technically still greatttttt forms of art. Even if you never want to see/hear it again, that doesn't detract from the fact that the artist was successful in conveying a certain feeling/emotion.
Funny how that works. You would think that to be successful, art should make you want to keep coming back for more
