Can we add a theme tag for mangas to identify shows which have a dark/dreary/sad/depressing theme? A couple of shows i can think off off the top is my head this would fit is for example "Berserk" and "Skeleton Soldier Couldn't Protect the Dungeon". For when the genre "drama" just isn't descriptive enough.

[Psychological] and [Tragedy] tags exist, though I understand they may not convey what you and many others expect.
Still, I don't think tags as subjective as [dark/dreary/sad/depressing] are likely to be approved.
Maybe suggest a better term and try again?

@justforlulz why do you think i riddled it with synonyms? Because i can't think of a better term, however i believe i convey my intention very clearly, so somebody more proficient might think of the term that's just right.

If we're talking about the theme tag being suggestive, how would you describe where you draw the line on other tags such as psychological?
It would be much easier to say if the theme is "dark" or not, i.e. story centered around death, cruelty, sadness, etc.

Another example of fitting shows might be "Akame ga kill".

"Oww, this shit's dark", is a common description, however just a tag named "dark" may be confused with e.g. visual style.
