I also started to hearing their songs when I was 22 years old, exactly, the way I think about music is more like watching a movie, like different genres of movie (Thriller, Romantic, Drama, Horror, Historical, etc), mostly this kind of music like Grunge music, I was listening to these types of music in those years to make myself feel relax, though it can have different effect on every person, but mostly when I hear someone singing with pain I feel like it makes me release my pains while I am listening to that song. Like Nirvana's songs or other grunge bands, I usually connect myself to songs emotionally, but you are also right about drugs, I hate of drugs, drugs has one effect on us, and it is making us stupid which we lose our control and we become weaker, etc. I don't know if it is only drugs which lead a guy to do suicide or it can also be because of their lives, their ideas, their mental health, the way they see the world? , I think there are many reasons why someone might kill himself, so I can't say that suicides are related to listening to a sad song or dark song, but I get what you mean and I agree that drugs has those negative effects on our brains which can also lead us to the suicide point.

What I think is bad is that some of these people do not get the support they need from the music industry. I remember when Kurt Cobain killed himself and that was partly due to the pressure he felt on himself. Going from writing songs in a bedroom about the pain you feel in your life to playing stadiums can be hard for some people, especially if they have mental issues.
Art is not always about pain, but we have lost so many fine musicians at an early age. We cannot know what they might have gone on to achieve.
Stay well.

Yes I totally agree, there are too many things happening in each one of those artists life, I can't really know what is inside their mind, but it is hard. I also had times like that pain, not to say that I am copying from them but it is just happened to me as a mental pressure, but I could save myself in all these years from all the pressure I was taking and I wish they could control it too, though as I said I can't say that it is so easy to control something like that. I don't know what was in Kurt's mind in that moment. but I am sure all those things you are also mentioning were part of his problems, Actually I am not able to describe art in one genre, like only a style for pain, but I can say It has too many emotions, because without emotions music becomes like a robot, so it can be happy, sad, full of honor, or full of sorrow, it can be motivational, it can be full of love or hate. I think it is also depends on the mood of the composer or what he experience in the music, cause sometimes some notes and chords can be chose by experiencing or Improvising with an instrument which the artist is actually not choosing them by an old idea, and those are just fresh and he can't even think if he knew that it would sound like that or not.
It is also sad that we have lost many of the young artists, I hope we all can heal and fix the problems whenever the life makes us feel much pressures and makes us feel tired of life.
Thanks my friend I wish you the best, stay well too :)
