Are you having a yearning slow dance Monday morning? Or maybe an upset stretching evening? Currently trending among students, Spotify’s “Daylist,” tells you your personality based on your music listening at a certain time of day. This playlist updates every day, at random times throughout the day. People check it often waiting for their new personality to be given to them.
These titles have silly, creative, or even realistic names, “Today mine was sad rap chilling Monday morning, it matches the mood of what I’m feeling, which is lowkey a little scary but also funny. I like finding out what it says because usually I don’t pay attention to what I listen to at what time, but it is accurate to what I want to listen to or what I’m feeling at the moment.” said Sabrina Ngyuen.
Much like your discover weekly playlists, these add songs that you have and haven’t heard before, similar to the vibe of your taste at that time of day, “I’ve discovered a lot of new artists this year through my daylist. I really like Alina Baraz; I’d never heard of her before until she was on my daylist. I think the idea is super fun and I love keeping up with what my personality is, even if it isn’t relatable, it makes me laugh.” said Amani Velada.
Whether it’s sad, hype, or funny, these playlists give you a feel for your mood or habits and something to look forward to during the day. “I always check mine, I’m always anticipating mine or if I forget it’s something exciting when I remember! My favorite one I got so far was “Party football Friday morning,” said Velada. “I have never even played football so I’m not sure how that applies to me, but I thought it was silly.”
