Darkness is such an overused, universal symbol of evil. If something is "dark," it is assumed to be bad, evil, sad, tragic, horrible, etc.. But, why?
Black clothing is classy and timeless.
Does that make sadness or evilness stylish?
Maybe darkness can go either way: evil or sophisticated.
To conclude, I have arrived at the conclusion that darkness, or blackness, is stale symbolism and is very uncertain as it can either mean classy and sophisticated or evil and sad. Here are of some shadowy or dark pictures. Are they depressing or stylish? Both? Neither? All of the above?

...can it be both?
