the genre that lets you cry about strangers so you don't cry about yourself
means A serious dramatic work, or a real-life event, in which suffering or disaster leads to a sorrowful or catastrophic end.
from From Greek 'tragōidia,' literally 'goat-song' — 'tragos' (goat) plus 'ōidē' (song). Why goats? Nobody's quite sure: maybe a goat was the prize for the winning chorus, maybe goats were sacrificed at the festival of Dionysus where these plays were performed, or maybe the chorus dressed as the goat-legged satyrs of his entourage. The word passed through Latin 'tragoedia' and Old French before reaching English.
