sometimes i get into a “playlist-paralysis” where i fixate on making an immaculate playlist where all the songs perfectly fit the exact vibe im thinking of, and because of that i end up not making a playlist at all. which was not awesome.
so instead of freaking out like this, i’ve been making monthly playlists where i put any song i’ve been liking that month. it’s great and if i find future vibe inspiration, i can pull from my own musical shelf.
plus as a bonus, you start to associate the songs from each month to the memories of that month and the people you’ve met and the things you’ve done. pretty cool.

🎵i’ve been doing this since 2018 and it’s so cool to see my music taste develop and improve since then, documented month by month! i add songs that i’ve been listening to a lot or songs that were recently released, just whatever i’m in the mood for that month! and i can also kind of revisit times in my life by listening to an old month playlist. also, at the end of the year i compile that year’s monthly playlists into a year playlist, and it’s like a longer and more comprehensive wrapped playlist!

🎶this is how i make playlists and i really like it cause it’s fun adding to it throughout the month as i find new music or like a song a lot at the moment but it’s also a cool way to look back on yourself and moments in your life through the songs you enjoyed or connected to at that point

i started in 2018, but every year i make a playlist a month and any new song i like (or rediscover after forgetting) i add to the month’s playlist
as someone who loses track of time and can’t keep track of what happened in what year because it all blends for me, it’s a little funny looking back at what music i was listening to during certain events of my life, like breakups and how people i met influenced my music taste. i.e. march of 2018 when i got into lofi and i met a community of small artists who have grown since then or july of 2021 when i got into hyperpop after meeting an ex-roommate. i wish i started this earlier like in june 2015 when i got into kpop
everyone i know puts every song they like into one playlist, or their “liked songs” but i love having my songs organized into playlists and folders and one of my favorite things to do is find a theme for the playlist covers :p
