Depends on where you are. Miserable in hotter places I'm sure, but in Sweden it's quite honestly glorious. Sun up from 03:30 to 22 in Stockholm, and it never quite gets dark. Does wonders for your mood.
Winter, however, is a cold, dark and wet mess. Truly depressive.
Spring and autumn are alright, but suffer from just a little bit too much rain.
Naturally, the climate crisis is making things slightly too warm for comfort now, and we're going to have to retrofit all homes to withstand heat better before too long.
I know there’s been a campaign for years about seasonal depression, but lack of sleep causes depression too and if it’s only dark for 5.5 hours I’m probably getting about that much sleep and I’m probably waking a few times during it to sigh and turn over. Unless there’s AC and the light is 100% blacked out (not a speck peeking over or around the curtain).

I mean, summer is different than it was 50 years ago. It's hotter, longer, and dryer.
And I don't get to stop going to work every day.

Blackout curtains are mandatory equipment for any Swedish bedroom, in my opinion. There's no way to get enough sleep without them. Sleep masks also help if you're particularly sensitive to light.
AC is generally speaking not required, as nights are cool and letting in air can provide adequate cooling for all but the hottest days of the year. This is of course a problem for people like me who are allergic to grass pollen, which is active during summer, but I've been able to get by mostly with a fan these days.

Less rain but more humidity

I heard there's 104 days of summer vacation, til school comes along just to end it.
more like 104° days until summer ends

Naw, light jacket weather is superior to shorts weather all day, everyday
But then you never get to enjoy the beach.

It'll only get hotter and more days in the year will reach these temperature so get used to it

As someone who loves hotter days, hard disagree.

I try to avoid the beach as much as possible. I'll take snowy mountains over the beach.

LOL 75°F isn't "warm". Nobody is going to sweat from just standing outside in 75° weather. You need 110°+ for that to happen.
Surprisingly, different people have different tolerances for hot and cold. I'm perfectly comfortable at 60F. I've shovelled ice from a driveway in jeans and a short sleeve t-shirt more than once. 75F+ is borderline too warm. 85F+ and I avoid going outside as much as possible.

It’s all situational. If it’s hot and humid but I’m near a beach, fuck yes, summer rules. If it’s hot and humid and I’m in a big city, dear lord help me, summer sucks.

The fame came from a time where the winters were harsh and summers more bland. We are at the tail end of a mini ice age, now the tendency is to winters been suave and summers become hotter. And, with global warming, things are accelerated.

I agree, but at the same time, I wouldn't give up having the contrast between seasons for anything. You need that 92 degrees with 80% humidity to really appreciate the cool down after a thunderstorm. And my absolute favorite time of year is that first chilly week in September that let's you know the heat is behind you--but the frigid cold is on the way.
All things in balance and moderation...
Yeah, I'd argue the real problem is that each season is too damn long. Cut them in half and I won't have time to get bored with them.

You will have two seasons and you will like it!

As a Houstonian, sincerely,
Laugh all you want, at least we don't live in Texas.
