Has depression disappeared from modern music?

>feels like depression/mental illness rates are higher than ever

self diagnosed normies making """"""relatable"""""" memes does not count

just cause things sound happy to you doesn't mean they sound happy to everyone else

edm (and i mean the literal term "electronic dance music", not the genre or whatever) started as a way of dealing with the struggles of being a minority, for example

and to answer your question, no, it hasn't. listen to the lyrics of popular music. for example, many have interpreted the lyrics of "heavy" off linkin parks latest "edm" album as very indicative of his suicidal struggles. or "xo tour life", a very popular song rn, with the lyrics "all my friends are dead, push me to the edge" as the hook. etc.

sad music =\= rock music

Mainly because people are stuck coming up with new ways to do depression that don't feel like retreading old ground.

21 pilots are putting out the most melodramatic music of all time

That Lil Uzi Vert song is literally a suicide anthem.
