Spotify’s Weekly Playlist: Writers Listen, You Literally Don’t
Every week, Spotify unleashes a playlist showcasing the exact songs that its writers, editors, and contributors have pumped on repeat — because who doesn’t want a curated selection explicitly dictated by a group of humans clearly auditioning for a "cool music nerd" reality show? No $24 million budgets or Grammy spin-offs here, just the grinding of reviewers' earbuds drowned in their office chair symphony. This carefully brewed musical soup reflects subjective tastes as exclusive as a VIP-only bathroom line at Coachella, conveniently ignoring that 99% of listeners will actually just use it as background noise while desperately pretending they care.

(1 of 3)Spotify’s playlist of what its own bored staff listen to just reminds us all how painfully middle-of-the-road the "experts" really sound. Modern curation, or just a fancy shuffle button for white noise?
They say these playlists are curated by "expert" writers and editors, but I’m starting to think they just hit shuffle during a group nap.
Spotify’s writers enjoy their own playlists so much they’re generously offering us the chance to hear office elevator tunes everywhere.
