It's odd that people differentiate so much between the content they read and the content in music.  The same rules should apply. Also, while I do think that the bulk of what we consume should be positive, there are exceptions. I may occasionally watch or read to something depressing or something that is negative like a movie or documentary about human rights' violations or maybe cold case files, etc. It can't be butterflies and rainbows all the time.
