Depressed as fuck

Why is it that, whenever it rains in the Netherlands (which is often), supermarkets feel the need to play nothing but extremely depressive songs from the 80's?

I lived in the Hague for about 6 months. I laughed until I cried at your October post about rainy weather, Dutch 1980's music and the supermarkets. So it wasn't just my American prejudices...you think it's gloomy stuff too. The other thing I remember music in Dutch supermarkets was when I passed a display in Albert Heijns playing America rap music so vulgar that it stopped my breath. I wondered then if the Dutch assumed this sort of speech was acceptable to most Americans (it's not) or perhaps didn't understand the depth of the vulgarity behind the slang.
