I appreciate the use of sad music or sad situations when appropriate and genuine. When emotions like sadness are conveyed well enough, the work (be it movie, TV show, etc.) can connect with you much better, and make it higher quality. Example: Several scenes in The Last of Us. I still cry during that opening sequence. When it is not well done, it makes the work appear cheesy and unrelatable, downgrading the quality
