The joy of making a silly playlist.
Try finding common themes on songs from diverse genres.
This year I made playlists with songs named after fruits, songs about the city where i'm from, songs that cite the month of september, songs about feeling like a dog, songs named like: "thing" on/in "other thing"
it's very joyful trying to find patterns in songs you like and it makes for very distinctive sounding playlists 💃🕺

i have gotten into making playlists on a really specific theme-- the moon, colors, 'yes', 'no', songs about other musicians, flowers, homonyms... making one that actually flows well instead of a bunch of randoms next to each other is the real challenge. you end up thinking about songs you forgot about that you love. whenever i'm out and i hear something that fits one of my themes, i throw it on the list and evaluate where it lands into the sequence later. my dad has been doing this forever with a group of friends, and now i'm carrying the torch (he is still carrying the same torch).

Inside everyone there are playlists waiting to escape…Collecting songs that connect to a vibe or feeling near to your heart is so fun. I’ve made some pretty good ones over the years including the very successful 90s romcom spring nyc (for when you want to pretend you’re in somewhere between a Nora Ephron movie and 13 Going on 30), summer camp (for 70s-90s running around barefoot by a lake vibes), limited too store playlist (for the girlies, obviously), and country bops (my favorite country songs from growing up in Texas). Express yourself with some sonic fusion!!

I create playlists for each niche thing I do. Frollicking in the grass near my house? Playlist. Rainy day where I want to go outside but can't get out of bed? Playlist. Watching Top Ten Thousand cheese while in the shower? Playlist. Thinking about my girlfriend? Mixtape!
Just make playlists for each niche thing you do... unless you're the type of person to only have one playlist with a million songs.

One of the things I like the most about Pi.fyi and the current scale of users is that it's still noticeable when a rec was inspired by another.
Sometimes the rec directly mentions the other, but other times you can kinda assume that reading an especific thing here triggered a memory or an ideia.
It's very cute and interesting to notice the small influences interacting with other humans online can have.
