here are 10 of my niche playlists that i really think you would benefit in curating on your own! making spotify playlists is a fun way to explore new music, as well as experiment with the different ways that you can sort your own music. see if you can come up with some of your own!
music to commit larceny to
great for fast-paced, badass music! I would also put in a ton of comedic 70s/80s music, just to jam to while committing a felony <3
americanarama
one song from each state. perfect for road trips or when you're feeling patriotic!
You're biking away from the school bully in the springtime and you drop your ice cream cone
This one is great for childhood tunes, especially springtime music. The added spice of the bully means you can sprinkle in some fast-paced music rather than the slow music that reminds us all of the dog days.
halfway through a zombie apocalypse
self explanatory-- there's actually a pretty wide selection of music is or can be interpreted to be about an apocalyptic even or a cataclysm of some sort. also wonderful for putting in the classic rock music we're embarrassed to like.
i think i’m trapped in an episode of euphoria
you could replace euphoria with any show of your choice but the goal is to distill the atmosphere of the show or piece of media using music. so much fun to do!
youre a painting at the MET who’s in love with the painting across from you
we all have a library of pining music do NOT lie to me, okay? this could be if you're into someone who doesn't know, or perhaps in a long-distance relationship. either way, what captures longing and yearning like staring at your love but being unable to go to them? especially when they look like ART
good strutting music
this one is pretty self-explanatory. look, we all need a sountrack to feel confident. everyone has different kinds of music that they would be willing to strut to-- have fun with this one and put in some unexpected tracks!
locked in a 7/11 at 2am
everybody loves vapor soul! being at a 7/11 at 2am feels like not existing-- you know, that feeling where you're so small and so big at the same time? this is for sticking in your atmospheric music and stuff that really just gets you to a certain vibe that you can't quite name.
guillotining the fairie king
it may be me personally that has a lot of revolutionary music but also a lot of calming music. this playlist is about feeling badass and sticking it to the man, but while also looking good and being with your friends. the idea of a fairie mutiny is extremely appealing and finding music that fits this vibe is a challenge, but worth it in the end.
i was a good cyborg in a y2k movie but they corrupted my system so i’m an evil cyborg now
personally, this is where i would put a lot of my 2000s/new millenium music! i cater the order of the tracks to slowly get more and more "evil" (loud, maybe more brash or dark) sounds towards the end
