Interesting, I've seen the same feeling whenever I read modern-day dystopian novels. I believe, in the original creation of dystopian genres of today, this is the intended emotion; authors create certain situations/plotlines which evoke in the readers feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and continuous searching for happiness. SOme of these authors would claim that this almost would represent real life, as life is imperfect and many people must fight for their happiness in life.

If modern-day dystopian novels simply focused on that instead of dredging some scenes (especially with novels which attempt to get the same popularity as the more well-named ones such as Hunger Games) with overly dramatic romance or unrealistic "teenage drama", then I believe we would appreciate the more traditional dystopian novel plotline. For example: if the dystopian novel took place in a fictitious nation in even modern times and, instead of having teenaged main characters, have maybe different people of different ages experience the injustice of their current times and have them fight for their happiness.

*I forgot to end the sentence properly lol
If this were to occur and people didn't write the dystopian story to play up a romantic edge as the main plotline or as a driving force in the novel, then people would see a different angle and possibly appreciate it more.
