made these since I was 15, so good for a terminally nostalgic person like myself. my rules: - playlist comprised of my 9 most listened to songs that month - cover for playlist must be a photo I took that month - songs should be unique each month - title of the playlist must be the name of the month but not include the year

Monthly playlists

I have been making monthly playlists for the past 4 and a half years, I do not skip months. They have been the most consistent tracking of my life over this time. There are a few rules, no full albums can be added and no songs can be repeated from past playlists. They range from 10 to 30 songs. I can tell how I was doing based on the number of songs and how congealed the musical narrative is. At this point they are habit, I make them to listen to during each month but I also make them to look back on. Producing a nostalgia for each month of each year. There are no overarching themes and these playlists decentralize my music taste, the yearly review lacks month to month consistency.

monthly playlists

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

making monthly playlists

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!
