Sort of basic, but sometimes basic is good. Their description: “grab a blanket and get the good vibes going.” Terrible description for a really good playlist. Not that my opinion matters much but here are my top five favorite Spotify playlists that I think are generally well put-together and worthwhile. Spotify also literally hires people to make playlists for their account which you can follow if you’re looking for something quick and easy or if you’re looking to find new music in a particular genre or mood. The new update now gives you these things in “Past Month” form, but I have many a complaint about the new update (more on that later), so we won’t get into it. They personalize the h*ll out of your profile (is it creepy sometimes? Maybe) whether it’s suggested songs for playlists, or the whole Made For You section where they give you three personalized playlists based off of your listening history in the past week, or the annual Year In Review where they take all your listening data and quantify it into categories like Top Artists, Top Song, Top Genre, etc. It’s like an overbearing helicopter parent.

As we know, Spotify usually does too much.
