The same reason so much rock music is angry, so much hip-hop and rap is about sex, and so much death metal is violent, etc. It suits the emotional needs of the listener. All genres of music have a mix of emotions, but all genres have a select few that suit the style the best.

There are many very upbeat songs! The classic country songs tended to be more about broken hearts and beer, but the new country is very different. I enjoy it, along with many other types of music.

Country music is based on real life, so, as you know, much of it would be considered depressing. However, there are many great, upbeat country songs, just as there are in any musical genre.
