Updating My Playlist

cover600x600I’ve been on the road a lot lately and just listening to music on my iPod over and over again. Driving makes me nervous so I don’t like shuffling the whole thing because the music I don’t like listening to comes on more frequent than the music I do and I feel unsafe pressing next 100 times.

I recently decided to get into Apple Music mostly because I thought I was gaming the system and getting free music but now I like it so I think I might buy it… I was finally able to listen to songs I wanted to. I realize I could just buy the songs on itunes and then download it to my iPod but for some reason I got really lazy about it? Streaming is so easy… and Apple supports artists thanks to Taylor Swift.

I can’t bring myself to buy Spotify.

Apple Music also had an NPR stream I could listen to so that finally played in my car without my mom being present so that really felt like a milestone.

Wild Things by Alessia Cara

I understand that most people have already jammed to these but that’s how far I’ve been out of the music game.

The main problem is I don’t see a genre that I like consistently? In middle school it was so easy to say, oh I really like pop but I only sorta like country. I feel like I haven’t been able to even remotely do that.

What does it mean?
