Swedes often express happiness through 'fika'. Being 'glad' is frequently associated with social coffee breaks. In Finland-Swedish, 'glad' is used similarly, but the tone can be slightly more reserved than in Stockholm. The phrase is a 'shibboleth' for positivity among Swedes abroad, often used to maintain a cheerful group identity. Many Swedish songs use 'glad' to contrast with the 'Nordic Noir' melancholy often associated with the region.
