What can we post?

  • Any weird, bizarre, or oddly specific playlists you find that you think the community would like; you don’t have to make the playlist yourself. We also accept music-themed memes, as long as they don’t break the rules (the rules are on the sidebar)
  • An ideally finished playlist would have: unique cover art or an image that inspired you, a weird, bizarre, or oddly specific title or theme, a detailed description in the post, and a link to the playlist-BUT! thats the ideal, and your playlists do not have to be finished to that level; if you’ve got a vague but really unique idea go ahead and post it!

What can we comment?

  • We can talk about anything! Posts may have specific requirements, but comments can go in whatever direction they want. Just be nice, no singling out and mocking a persons taste in music, and no complaints about someones playlist. General discussions about music you like and don’t like is fine, just don’t make it personal. Let’s keep our community as chill and drama-free as possible.

Some examples of playlists:

  • instead of a “gardening playlist” try something more descriptive and particular like “I’m an angry gnome, tending to my garden in a rainstorm”
  • a “break up playlist” wouldn’t be very unique, but “you broke my heart so hard I developed pyrokinesis” sounds like a pretty good playlist
  • “popular music playlist” wouldn’t work, but “I was raised in a cult and haven’t listened to popular music since 1983” would be interesting

What are the post requirements?

  • Please try to be as specific as you can. Check out the examples I posted above. If you’re making a playlist I find the more specific you are, the better. It’s helpful to ask yourself, what’s the vibe or aesthetic I’m going for? Is my playlist meant for any particular music genres? decade? mood? song titles? bpm?
  • Remember to tell us if you want/don’t want song suggestions!
  • If you’re using an image as inspiration, post it! But please tell us about the image and what you’re going for. If you need help you can always ask by commenting in this post.
  • Ideally, I’d like you to post a link to the playlist (on spotify, apple, youtube, etc.) If there isn’t a list built yet, please consider creating one yourself and sharing the link
  • Please don’t overpost or repeat posts. Let’s go for quality and variety over quantity.

Future ideas:

  • We will need an icon and a banner at some point

  • We might end up choosing a day of the week for posting memes eventually, but for now I’m gonna be pretty lax about posting til we get bigger

  • I’m also thinking maybe we’ll have off-topic days?

  • maybe community built playlists?

  • how about theme posts, everyone shares their playlists that fit the theme?

  • sometimes I like to nerd out about really specific bits of music history; if people are interested we can do posts like that as well

  • maybe we can do music recommendation threads? or we can have a day of the week where we do this?

Any suggestions or questions, please ask them in the comments on this post. Thanks!
