What would aliens think if they leaned we evolved fear as a survival mechanism, but we intentionally seek out situations that trigger our fear response, for fun?

Horror movies, extreme sports, thrill-seeking, it’s all weird.

Edit
Changed the title and added an extra line to make it clear I’m talking about the fear response, and not specifically about extreme sports

    Fear, and other normally negative emotions too. Especially sadness. Sad movies and books are a big thing, but there are countless sad songs.
