For the rest of us, there’s the Spotify-curated most popular indie hits. Maybe you earnestly are a hipster, and don’t even need this playlist. Look, at some point, we’re all going to be That Asshole who says, “Well, I liked that band before they were popular!” as if it is a badge of honor. Top 100 Indie Tracks On Spotify by Spotify When you’re all Adele and Sam Smith’ed out (because trust me, there is a threshold there) this is the playlist to turn to. I always imagine this playlist is the kind of thing guys blast when they need to have a good shower-cry, sliding down the wall, sobbing under the water, just marveling at how much Michael Stipe just gets it. Have you ever thought that guys don’t have feelings? Well, Thought Catalog’s own Alex Magnin is here to dispel that rumor for you. That’s what the kids these days are doing, after all, isn’t it? Partying all night and sleeping when they’re dead?
This playlist is usually a pretty heavy rotation of pop music, with a little bit of hip hop or country, depending on what’s trending on the charts “these days.” It always works as background music when you’re trying to rally yourself to go out after work on Friday night. Do I feel shame for liking it as much as I do? Hell no. If “what are the kids listening to these days?” is a question that plagues you as you grow older, this playlist will answer all of those questions for you. (And yes, before you ask, it does have ‘Eye Of The Tiger’ on it, because pretending you’re Rocky Balboa is an integral part of any workout ever.) There’s over 20 hours of really empowering music on this playlist, so whether you hit shuffle or start it at a certain power song, chances are good you won’t get bored. Sometimes the list doesn’t align with what you’d necessarily listen to, but the anticipation of what the theme is every Thursday makes it feel like musical Christmas comes once a week.
GOOD SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS FULL
This one can be a bit hit-or-miss, but the premise is always really good: each Thursday, some blessed angel of music picks a theme (the last two weeks were music from the ’00s, and music from the ’90s) and populates a whole new playlist full of songs you might not hunt down otherwise. It’s filled with really catchy songs you forgot you loved once upon a time, and any playlist that reminds you that sometimes exactly what you need is to listen to ‘All Star’ by Smash Mouth is a-okay by me. If you’re someone who suffers from an awful case of the Mondays - or hell, just the Mornings - this playlist is guaranteed to at least make the commute mildly enjoyable. (Plus, a lot of the songs have really motivational “you got this!” messages, so it’s a little subliminal boost.) I listen to this one every day when I really need to just focus on my work. There’s nothing that will really distract you from the task at hand because these are all songs you probably already know, but the beats are motivating enough to keep you going. The songs skew to hip-hop and R&B, with some pop mixed in.
You don’t have to be blonde to get your head in the game, but on days when you just need to tap in to the workday and crush Excel sheets or whatever it is you do, this playlist is the best. As such, I’ve rounded up 15 of my favorite playlists on the service, for whatever situation or mood you might find yourself in. I’m a total Spotify junkie, so I love finding new playlists that other people have curated, because relying on your own music tastes can often get you in a rut and you’ll never listen to anything else. It helps us focus, it chills us out, it makes us happier… whatever you need to do, your own personal soundtrack to your life can either make or break any mood or situation. There have been countless studies proving what music does to our minds, bodies, and wellbeing.
