Why are old songs so sad?

Actually, there are as many happy and sad old songs as there are "modern" songs, it's just that typically the most emotional songs become "immortal" from becoming popular, as when someone can relate to a song they are more likely to listen to it again. However, after certain periods in history, such as the 1940s (after wars, depressions, etc) a lot of people and singers seem to prefer sad songs.
