The experts have spoken! The greatest stories ever written are only ones full of cynicism, suffering, injustice, tragedy, and hopelessness. Yes, only the grimmest of tales can effectively explore the horrid realities of life itself; like the fragility of human existence, the crushing agony of love and regret, hopes and dreams never coming to fruition, the utter futility of happiness, and other life-defining themes, such as why mommy never really loved you. Therefore, any other story with an unambiguously Happy Ending is just a piece of cheap boring commercial tripe, or even propaganda. As for comedy shows, they're all just bourgeois garbage.
In these types of stories, nobody is really the good guy. Not even the hero. If there are otherwise any nice characters present, you can expect them to get killed off sooner or later, or alternatively, suffer a Fate Worse than Death. If there are characters with sympathetic viewpoints, don't expect their suffering to be the prelude to an ultimate triumph (especially when they work so hard to achieve it). No, they have to ultimately fail in the end. Not only that, they've got to be traumatized for life, lose everything they hold dear, give in to despair, or even be killed off, along with their friends and loved ones. Heck, if there are villains around (especially hatable ones), why not let them win the day and have them get away with their crimes scot-free? Maybe even have them prosper over all the good guys while we're at it? Yeah! That ought to drive home the message that LIFE IS SUFFERING! (...and unfair.)
But in all seriousness, True Art Is Angsty is an Audience Reaction when a particular work is being praised for its dark and/or cynical tone. It's also a mindset that is adopted by both cynical writers and audiences who believe that adding plenty of angst in a work can make for compelling storytelling. However, it also has a tendency to drive away the more sensitive and idealistic members of the audience, and can make a story worse when its darkness is too intense to stomach, too unadulterated to bear, and/or isn't handled with the proper grace. Expect accusations of Wangst, pandering to the critics, or intentionally exploiting hot-button topics to pop up in discussions about media and creators who adhere to this trope, whether deserved or not.
Related to Comedy Ghetto, Oscar Bait, Maturity Is Serious Business, Death by Newbery Medal, Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!, Creator Breakdown and Creator Recovery. In stories, the Sensitive Artist is the one most likely to make this kind of art.
Contrast Angst Aversionnote where people avoid a work because it's angsty (though it's not uncommon for the two to overlap), Angst Dissonancenote where the angst is overused to the point of becoming annoying or hilarious rather than emotionally captivating, Too Bleak, Stopped Caringnote where the angst is so relentless that audiences can no longer anticipate a happy (or at least bittersweet) ending in a story, and subsequently stop caring about said story or its characters, and Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers!note in which the notion that angst adds realism is mocked by showing how harmful a bleak mindset can be.

Viz: The Critics have this attitude, along with True Art Is Incomprehensible. Possibly the best example of their obnoxious "angsty" view is one where the story was a version of Cinderella, with The Critics taking the Fairy Godmother role. At the end where it has already ended with the version of the Prince and the Ugly Sisters leaving her behind, Cinderella begs The Critics for help, only to be told by them that they hate happy endings and magical plot devices and a much more poignant ending would be for her to die starving in poverty and squalor!

X-Men: An anthology story had Colossus running into someone who believed this at an art exhibition, criticising Piotr's initial artwork for not being nihilistically depressing. For whatever reason, Piotr decides this guy has a point, and paints another piece while thinking about his dead little sister. The gloomy art critic approves of this second piece.

BoJack Horseman:
During season 2, Bojack and film director Kelsey Jannings try to make a gritty, realistic and tragic movie about the life of the racehorse Secretariat. The studio eventually develops some reservations about the movie, leading to Kelsey getting fired and a script rewrite making the movie more sentimental and optimistic with a new director attached. This is portrayed as a creatively bankrupt decision made entirely with money and audience accessibility in mind, with the new direction being treated as trite and hackneyed compared to the honest, emotionally weighty movie that Bojack and Kelsey wanted to make. Though things become a bit more mixed when the movie is released and it's a lot better than Bojack was expecting.
In season 6, Diane is attempting to write up a memoir about herself and her rough past, such as her Abusive Parents, childhood bullying, divorce, depression, and other personal traumas. However, she finds that she can't put her experiences into words no matter how hard she tries, but does have fun writing up a light-hearted detective story about a girl named "Ivy Tran" while procrastinating. The trope is deconstructed, as she's angry at herself for being unable to share her life-story with others because it would mean that everything she suffered through was meaningless in the end and this realization greatly worsens her mental health. After considerably prompting from her boyfriend Guy, Guy's son, and Princess Carolyn, she eventually decides to publish the Ivy Tran story instead and write children's novels instead of an angsty memoir, with the lesson that personal trauma doesn't need to define something, sometimes it's just meaningless.

Dominic Deegan: When Gregory starts up his own band, he and his band members draw upon a theme of "honest and ugly", reflecting the corruption in the world and Greg's own horrific experiences with necromancy and dark magic. The results are somewhat mixed, with half the audience walking out of his debut concert and some dicey reviews, but he apparently finds enough success to make a living off it.

Princess Tutu: The author Drosselmeyer is fanatically obsessed with pain and tragedy. He flat-out states that he considers stories with happy endings to be "boring." It likely comes from having been struck by tragedy himself, being essentially killed and having to write himself back into existence with his last breath because the townspeople around him were afraid of him. Heavy duty Creator Breakdown followed.

Girl Meets World: Maya Hart does very well in art class and uses it to express her difficult life living in borderline poverty with her single mother and a Disappeared Dad that left when she was 6 years old. In contrast, Riley Matthews has a stable home life with a nuclear middle-class family and her art skills mimics that of an average kindergarten student and multiple paintings of purple cats, no matter the assignment. Lampshaded by Riley when the art teacher still encourages her to do art because she enjoys it.

Dethklok of Metalocalypse are firm believers in this (which is par for the course for a death metal band) and try to make every aspect of their lives and their music as "brutal" or "metal" as possible, but the biggest in-universe case of it is in "Dethsiduals", when they temporarily kick Toki and Murderface out for embarrassing them with scandals. Initially it seems like no big loss since Skwisgaar wrote both of their parts anyway and their productivity massively increases, but the band quickly becomes disgusted with how "happy" the songs sound without the negativity that comes from their frustration with Murderface.

The Nerf NOW!! strip "The Ends" associates this trend with indie studios being more "artistic" about their games (though by no means exclusive to them). In comparison, it depicts the AAA studio as making a good ending "so the players are happy with the experience and buy the sequel" while siding with them nonetheless because good endings feel good.

In the 25th chapter of Spy X Family, the terrible Griffin model that Damian made (with Anya's "help") somehow won first prize. Apparently, the judges were moved by its determination to "stand proudly despite its plucked wings", which serves as "a powerful vision of our nation as it rebounds from the war". Neither Damian nor Mr. Henderson agree with the judgment, and still see the resulting model as nothing but trash.

Also comes up in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, this time played more seriously as an aspect of the conflict between Finn (who has come to subscribe to this trope) and his sister (who hasn't). It's brutally deconstructed, as it's ultimately shown how this trope, in its own way, is just as childish as naive idealism.

Confessions (Saint Augustine): Young Augustine, like many his age, used to love plays and theatre because seeing characters be so miserable on stage would cause him to feel misery and compassion for them. When he's older and escaped many of his own self-inflicted miseries, Augustine finds his enjoyment of tragic shows pathetic because they let one excuse themselves for their staying in their own miseries.

In the final issue of Flex Mentallo, the Hoaxer invokes this trope while discussing the nature of comics. He mentions how it's usually the darkest, most depressing books that win the most acclaim, but goes on to argue that the desire to have everything be as bleak and Darker and Edgier as possible is just as juvenile as an insistence on constant happy endings.

The Cinema Snob parodies this as part of the character, such as insisting that if you have a movie with a plot similar to Xanadu it should take itself a lot more seriously. Though he also parodies the inconsistent application of this mindset when it comes to certain genres, such as Slasher Movies.

Sandra and Woo: Larissa and her father are both artists but the two of them clash over their opposing tastes in art. Larissa makes a colorful flower painting while her dad makes a dull painting of a desolate landscape. Larissa sabotages her dad's painting by adding a smiling sun to it and he gets back at her by adding a hanging skeleton to hers. While the two of them are arguing about it the sabotaged paintings end up becoming successful, to their surprise.

Its second season opener "Arts 'N Crass" features Daria and Jane being pressured into submitting a work of art for a cheesy poster contest (Jane by their art teacher as the only student with talent, Daria by Jane so she'll have someone to work with). The two create a painting of a beautiful girl admiring her reflection, with a poem attached about how she's bulimic. Having known this was a fluff contest, Daria explains she specifically wanted to create something that would make its audience think about standards of beauty and to show support to people who don't want to be judged by their appearance. The art teacher comes to praise the poster when she has the meaning explained to her, but everyone else is disgusted by the mention of vomiting and try to force the girls to alter the message. When they refuse and decide to just resign from the contest, Ms. Li basically steals the poster and planned to have it displayed under their names with a heavily rewritten poem. Daria and Jane respond by destroying it when it's clear they can't salvage the message. They get out of punishment when Daria's mom threatens to file a lawsuit against Ms. Li for stealing Daria's work and violating her civil liberties.

In one Archie Comics strip, Betty submits a macaroni sculpture depicting a victorious athlete for an art contest, and was lambasted by the critics for being too naively optimistic. When the heat of the spotlight causes the sculpture to melt, the critics start to praise its brutal portrayal of despair. However, Betty defies this by declaring that life isn't just Angst, embraces a positive outlook of life, and withdraws from the competition.

Life of Pi plays with this trope. The main story is a fantastical one about Pi surviving 227 days on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. The officials do not believe this account, so Pi tells an alternate, but similar story in which the animal characters are replaced with humans who cannibalize each other, with the audience implicitly being posed the question of which one is true. Those who believe in this trope may be more inclined towards the human story.

Delicious in Dungeon: Discussed in an omake regarding a type of monster called the Nightmare, which generates bad dreams to feed on the resulting emotional energy of its hosts. The question is asked, why does it only generate bad dreams to create emotional energy? Why not good dreams? Laios tells of a researcher who set out to discover the answer by willingly sleeping with Nightmares, finding the dreams were initially of a great assortment, but gradually the number of bad dreams increased and overtook good dreams completely. Right before the researcher died, he concluded the reason that Nightmares only make bad dreams is because happiness quickly becomes boring, but the well of sorrow is bottomless and provides mental stimulation indefinitely; it is the human desire for tragedy which compels Nightmares to make bad dreams.

The inciting incident of Cold Souls has Paul Giamatti remove his soul to better play the titular role of an Uncle Vanya stage production as the intense material drives him to tears during the middle of rehearsal.

Rimworld: Certainly true for pawns with the Tortured Artist trait. They get a pronounced and permanent mood debuff, which puts them at higher risk of having a mental break... but every time they have a mental break of any severity, once it ends they have a high chance to get Inspired Creativity, and thus make a piece of much better quality than usual; a masterful artist can end up creating Legendary pieces this way. This being Rimworld, there will be many, many ways to keep such pawns inspired.

Simon succeeds by pointing out that the material written after Sydney broke the co-worker's heart is much better than the song he's trying to buy.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: Brassius' most well-known art piece is a statue installation known as "Surrendering Sunflora", which depicts the titular Pokémon with somber expressions. Just what these Sunflora are surrendering to has been heavily debated amongst connoisseurs. During an art class he helps teach, he reveals the "surrendering" part was more a reflection of himself prior to getting over a terrible art slump, where he nearly surrendered to his own grief.

Daredevil: One of Daredevil's more recent villains, Muse, is very much a Mad Artist, so naturally he believes this. What's interesting, however, is that Muse believes the process of art should be angsty and almost never mentions the art itself, going into detail about how people just assume that a work of art is instantaneous, fully sprung from the artist's mind.

Parodied in the Eddsworld short Art is Serious, where Edd makes an animation which is initially about a joyous-looking little girl, but Tom instructs him to add more angst to it by making the girl in the animation look more angsty and with darker colours, and the final animation being about said girl crying in a somber forest with a sad music. Ultimately subverted with a quick rolling credits cut and the girl farting while doing a goofy face.

Moulin Rouge!:
How people react to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's art.
Also the ending itself, as what starts out as a happy love story with humor to spare eventually evolves into a tragic drama (though the framing narrative reveals at the start that it will end this way); Satine's consumption is only brought up in the third act, the doctor told others before her, and it guarantees that she'll die at the end.
Most likely because the whole plot is heavily inspired by the opera La Traviata, by Giuseppe Verdi, where Violetta (Satine's opera counterpart) also shows mild symptoms during Act 1, but is only severely ill and dies at the end, just minutes after her lover reconciles with her.

The original Godzilla (1954) was intended to be a basic generic giant monster film with the titular monster waking up from a nuclear test, and rampages through Tokyo. Then enter Ishir⁠ō Honda, who was a former Japanese Imperial soldier during World War II, and saw the aftermath of the Little Boy Atom bomb in Hiroshima, and it traumatized him for life. The film goes out of its way to get its point across when a mother holds her children and tells them they'll see their father soon, and runs with Reality Subtext and a literal Real Life Writes the Plot with the Castle Bravo hydrogen bomb test in the Pacific. It also subvert the usual giant monster formula, and portray the monster as a sympathetic victim of the same nuclear warfare as the Japanese.

Parodied in The LEGO Movie.
Wyldstyle claims that Batman is a "true artist" because he's dark and brooding. In addition, his song is pretty much entirely about darkness and having no parents.
Also comes up in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, this time played more seriously as an aspect of the conflict between Finn (who has come to subscribe to this trope) and his sister (who hasn't). It's brutally deconstructed, as it's ultimately shown how this trope, in its own way, is just as childish as naive idealism.

Mocked in IT, which, like many Stephen King stories, features a writer as a major character. Bill Denborough, one of the novel's leads, attends a writing program in college in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and finds himself butting heads against the other students in the class and even the teacher, who insists on analyzing every detail of every story in an anti-war, psychosexual model (the same teacher praises another student's play, which lasts for hours and consists of a cast of actors repeating individual words — one word each — that eventually become a sentence against capitalism). When Bill finally gets tired of the constant insistence on finding deeper meanings in everything they write, he asks, "Can't you guys just let a story be a story?" Notably, he's the only one in his class who becomes a major success.
