Playlists

As we all know by now I love music. It is what I need to survive actually. Without my music I am nothing . Anyways I decided I am going to do a bit 0f reorganization and declutter my Spotify. I really don’t have any good playlists at the moment and would really like to have some good playlists to listen to so we are going to fix this. I know most people sort songs by genre buttttt here me out. I don’t listen to songs based on genre i listen based on day and mood. I also listen to wayyyyyyy too many genres to sort. So I am going to start by making playlists based on activities and then go into moods. I am going to use this blog as an idea area for my playlists and then i will make another blog detailing my playlists and some of the songs. 

Anyways so I have already tried to organize my playlists once this year but it really didn’t work and it just isn’t set up the way i would like. This is why we are going to revamp my Spotify. Now first i am going to list the playlists categories i want to make. After that i will condense them ( highlight them in groups to make it easier)and try and make them a bit better. 

1. writing 
2. Working/study
3. reading 
4. driving
5. Cleaning 
6. road trip / Felid trips 
7. theatre / soundtracks 
8. senior year 
9. Childhood 
10. 17 
11. new wave/ goth/ punk 
12. Christian music  (already made)
13. summer (already made)
14. rap / hip hop 
15. opium ( I normally have one for the record label opium because my friend has a playlist for them aswell) 
16. Divorced dad music (ifykyk) 
17. emo/midwest emo 
18. 80’s music 
19. 90’s music 
20. 2000’s trashy pop 
21. psychedelic rock 

Now that I have named all the playlist I want to make I am going to try and condense them and name them. 

1. senior szn ‘27 (senior playlist) 
2. Down the rabbit hole  (Roadtrips/ field trips) 
3. Only 17 (17 playlist) 
4. Lock in and focus (writing, work, study, clean, read)
5. No business like show business (soundtracks and theatre) 
6. opium (songs from the opium record label)
7. 80’s mixtape (80’s)
8. 90’s CD (90’s)
9. Y2K (2000’s trashy pop)
10. Brain Static (psychedelic rock)
11. 2009 Memorabilia (childhood) 
12. THE AUX (driving) 
13. Summer or (insert summer year) (summer playlist)
14. Spitting Bars ( rap and hip-hop)
15. punk/goth/new wave (I’ll just leave this as the title for now)
16.  Some divorced dad in the 2000’s (divorced dad rock)
17. Blue Ruin (Midwest emo and emo. Reference to Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind)

Now that I have come up with the names I go to Pinterest and find some cool photos to add as covers. Normally I try to pick covers that go with the playlist in some way. After that I will begin sorting my music into their different categories. I will update on the progress later on. I just thought it would be cool to talk a bit about my process for organizing my playlists since I haven’t really found a lot of other people who talk about their playlists and their process for making them. Music is such a huge part of my life and so in turn playlists are a really huge part of my life so I thought it would be cool to just talk a bit about that. I think I will end it right here but if you have any questions or suggestions let me know.
