To be fair, whatever they're called, most of my playlists are songs for drinking.

A friend who is pretty much stuck in the 90’s music-wise asked me to make him a playlist of modern trip-hop influenced music. I’m still adding-removing things but might as well share it here:

this is the year i gave up and became a spotify user. part of me doesn't feel good about it. the other part is elated to be able to make playlists like this one, which recreates the radio station my high school besties and i used to listen to. to me it evokes a time of waiting for a song i liked to come on so i could tape it, of sitting in my room for hours on end and calling in to win free tapes and CDs as much as humanly possible.
we all participated in making it and frankly it's one of the highlights of my truly abysmal year. a micro-highlight was one day when i remembered the lyric "I'll cross that bridge when I get to it" and googled until i found out what the song was, after 30+ years. i truly dislike many of these songs but it effectively recreates the experience of listening to the station and that brings me joy. https://bit.ly/3NDv1IK

the station was operated by the local public school district but behaved more like a college station and drew from those charts. our playlist represents the time we listened to it, roughly 88-93. back in the last century lol.

Loving La Lechera's list. Pure nostalgia

Glad you’re enjoying! It’s so evocative for me that I choose when to listen to it strategically. I love that I have the same zing feeling when a song i like comes on. They used to have “mini concerts” aka blocks of songs by one artist and I lived for the day they did the Replacements one. When I hear Sixteen Blue in this context, alongside a random assortment of songs I heard contemporaneously, I can hear it through the ears of young me again. It’s a delight!

Can't really follow that, but here's as far as I got with playlists on Spotify, which I've long neglected in favor of Bandcamp and free version of YouTube Music: Beatles songs about Relationships and other relationships, though don't remember why "Blackbird" is in here--guess it's another milestone moment, like "Blue Jay Way." (Does NOT Incl. "The Long and Winding Road")https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2tDdze0ZilOW2Mr9zb1fht

I'm not sure how to describe the vibe of this playlist, but it is a vibe. I guess slightly quirky 90s alt-pop that doesn't really fit into a neat category? Any further suggestions welcome

not mine but this a.s.o. playlist is extremely on brand, if you're into their 90s vibe (triphoppy drums, William Orbit space) you might find some tunes here

Buncha pop sounds from the turn of the 80s that may not have seemed similar at the time, but suddenly felt very similar to me this weekend. Commonalties? Crisp production, bass forward for the time, coked up tempos?

Here's one I've been slowly adding to over the last couple of years and really enjoy. Starting with cool West Coast jazz and then gradually moving out into other territories, it's a lovely mellow listen:

Nice, I've just been through it a bit and pruned it as some things weren't quite working. It's one of my faves though
