Spotify Wrapped Unwrapped

At the end of every year, I, like everyone else, get the obligatory Spotify Wrapped playlist. I'm always so excited to see my trends, how many minutes have I listened to, the most popular genre, etc... but I have always dreaded the actual 100 songs playlist.

For some reason, the overlying arc is great music laced with sad feelings and mostly invoking the terrible memories of the year. Very vividly. Like sharp stabs to the heart.

The link is known as classic conditioning and is helpful with Alzheimer's patients. I should let my family and friends know not to play my playlist to me when my mind goes kookoo. Would rather live like a goldfish.
