Rec Us Your Newest Thing.
So my newest things are Our Flag Means Death meme accounts on Instagram and Daylists on Spotify.
When I first got into Our Flag Means Death, with none of my friends being into it, I didn’t really feel like I had a space to play in, but I found community on Instagram, especially with meme accounts, that did more than just post fandom memes, but also dissected scenes and had discussions in the comments.
These are my favorite Our Flag Means Death meme accounts on Instagram:
our.memes.mean.death
our.flag.means.sass
ourflagmeansdeathbb
Honorable mention to ourflagmeetsgoodomens, as it is still a lot of fun, but it is primarily screencaps of tumblr asks with Neil Gaiman about Good Omens (TV series) – which again, a lot of fun, but off topic from Our Flag Means Death.
Daylists are a new thing on Spotify. I found out about them when a mutual I have on Instagram posted in his stories “screw your astrology sign, send me your Spotify daylist title,” with a screen cap of his current one. This peaked my interest as it fits in with my “send me your playlists, not your nudes,” philosophy, but also because I had no idea what he was talking about.
How you find them, is you search on Spotify for daylist or my daylist, and it will bring up for you a playlist titled daylist (which you will need to add to your library if you want quicker access too). Unlike the daily mixes it was already doing, The daylist changes multiple times a day. From my experimentation, there is a morning, afternoon, evening, and late night list. Under the title, it gives you a description of you playlist, including what genres it includes, (sometimes) what you listened to that made it pick these genres, how long the playlist is, and at what time your daylist will change to the next one. (You can also preview tracks like a regular playlist.)
My first Daylist I got was titled, “lip sync teen angst afternoon,” which made me feel seen and called out at the same time. It seems to be a common reaction, though I know a couple people that have gotten ones that seem to have nothing to do what they listen to, so sometimes it misses, but I am hooked.
It also gives you a bunch of other mixes it thinks you might like based on your listening and says they were created “for you,” but they seem to be premade mixes they push on everyone. So far, my suggested mixes have been, “Goblincore Mix,” “Anti Anxiety Mix,” “Pirate Metal Shanty Mix,” “Spooky Evil Gay Mix,” “Egg Punk Mix,” “Bubblegrunge Mix,” “Meme Mix,” “Tuesday Mix,” “Murder Ballad Mix,” “Purple Sound Mix,” “Horror Movie Synthwave Mix,” “Angry Whistling Mix,” and “Crying Birthday Mix,” at least those are the ones I took note of. It also sent me a bunch of kpop, which I have never listened to. (Nothing against it, just never have, but noted here to show that the other mixes don't necessarily have to do with what you listened to and are probably premade.)
My favorite Daylist title so far has been “dynamic religious music Thursday night,” which had zero religious music and was almost entirely goth bands and various flavors of horror and doom. It was a lot of fun.
My current daylist while I type this is “angst college rock Wednesday afternoon.” The titles are not always inventive.
