im going to be honest the "character playlists aren't what i think the character would listen to, it's songs that remind me of them" post does not sway me. i make playlists for my OCs. i do the same thing. but i don't care what the contents of the song individual song in question is, i simply cannot associate a punk/metalhead/emo/edgy/whatever character with a taylor swift song. playlists must also be about vibe. surely there are songs with a similar theme that are also not by her. class dismissed

#i'll sometimes look at character playlists out of curiosity. sometimes i find new and good songs. but #i'll go into a playlist and sometimes it'll be like 50% swift songs and im like. ok well. there are other artists. surely you can find one #(me naively looking into a playlist for a punk character): boy i sure hope theres punk music and not mainstream pop artists again #maybe its because im not picky on music? when making playlists i usually try to stick to ones that remind me of them and fit vibe #jeff gets mainly violent metal/synth/assorted electronic because i think it fits him the most. though some songs divert #cassian has assorted acoustic/folk music. usually ones related to death/hunting/weird shit #rhys has more chaotic or 'fun' music that tells a story. think tom cardy's smokin joe.#like guys come on get a little creative. it doesnt have to be perfect but you can make some neat and distinctive char playlists--#-- by just varying your song and artist selections a tiny bit #dont even need to be super strict!#but i swear to god if im in a tag or a twit thread one more time and look at a playlist and its fucking hayloft mother mother...#youd think im exaggerating. but if youve ever been in the playlists. youd know. you would understand
