There’s some people out there that just have a playlist for everything, every moment, and every mood. Or even playlists just for that month like “February 2025” or “March 2020” , music that they have on replay for that month and once that month is over it’s kinda like a time capsule that brings you back to those moments and memories. 

I know some people that are really specific with the names of their playlists like “rainy day in a coffee shop” or “the smell of fresh cut grass on a spring day” and to me the funny part is, the playlist gives off those exact vibes. I always wonder how my friends are able to nail it down so well, maybe it’s cause they’re musically inclined but for me my brain just doesn’t swing that way.

I love hanging out with specific playlist type of people. They can just make every moment better with the right type of music. If the group is a little tired before going out and we all need to wake up, they know how to get us up and going. Or if we’re at the beach for a day of tanning, reading, and relaxing, they have the right playlist to set the summer vibes, it’s just the best. 

Then on the other hand, there’s people like me, with no serious playlist organization. You can usually find me shuffling my liked songs or just playing the same couple of albums on repeat. And it’s not that I’m not into music, I am, I just don’t have the unique creative ability to curate such well thought out playlists. I’m never asked to take aux because I can never just get the group’s vibe right. And even if I shuffle my liked songs it’s just a crazy mix that can go from anything Taylor Swift, to Nickelback, and then maybe a little Kendrick, you never know what’s going to be next in my car. 

A saviour for me is the pre made Spotify playlists. If it is the odd time where I’m required to step up to the plate and take on the aux role, I usually just play it safe and put on a Spotify playlist until people get bored of it and I’m benched from the aux cord. 

So what type of person are you? The type that curates the most amazing specific playlists for every mood or vibe? Or someone like me, who just hits shuffles and see’s what’s next?
