this isn’t going to be as cool as it sounds but I have been in college for the last 4 years and I’m going into my final semester here in January. Every semester and summer I have created a playlist that have kinda shaped the way I felt that year and kinda shaped by the way I felt. One dosent exist without the other. Every playlist is named like 1-2 (so year one semester two) or like 3-1( year three semester one) and once that semester is over i try not to listen to that playlist again until about a year passes. I’m about to start working on the last one but I don’t know how to theme it. It’ll be 4-2 obviously but I always have like “seed” music that I put into the playlists before and I’m at a loss. so I need help my ideas now are
1: keep the theming find some new music I like by just going crazy on the shuffle feature
2: find songs from way back in highschool i was really into and try and use those songs only, a sort of "time loop" playlist
3: ask strangers online (you guys) and throw whatever they say on there
it might end up as a mix of 2 ideas but any song recs would be appreciated. Feel free to comment or Dm!

with the first month of 2024 coming to a close I thought I’d recommend one of my favorite little traditions: making a yearly playlist where at the end of every month you reflect and add your four favorite songs (> 4 = overkill, < 4 = next to impossible, at least for me because my headphones are glued to my ears)
at the end of the year, I lay in bed and finally listen to the playlist in full (not on shuffle!) and let my mind be flooded with all the memories I have attached to the songs (crying is unavoidable sorry)
oh and I don’t mean newly released songs, just all music in general. hope I explained everything clearly

I make playlists every month or every season, depending on my mood. It’s nice to go back and listen to stuff I was into my freshmen year of college, or during the pandemic. I add songs to the playlist that my friends send me or I hear in movies or tv shows, along with songs I just love and want to be hearing. Like a little time capsule

Since i was 16 ive been doing this thing where I have one main playlist called ‘Currently’ and I add anything I’m vibing with
Then when I start getting sick of songs/want a fresh start, I copy paste the songs and file them away into a new ‘Season’
But they’re not actual seasons, they’re more like metaphorical seasons. Some seasons span a year, some just a few days. Some symbolize change or a series of events
Of course I have some separate genre based playlists as well, but for me this works perfectly as an alternative to monthly Playlists

It’s really easy,
You make banana bread but before oven time you just add pumpkin purée. Works even better if you have a sweet drink to go with it. If you want to get funny with it banana milk is a good choice but other sweet drinks work great to like an horchata
