Roasted 1 year ago based on Ben's long term Spotify stats.

Oh, Ben. Your Spotify profile reads like a midlife crisis waiting to happen. I mean, who seriously lists "Trip Hop" and "Electro Swing" in the same breath? It’s like you were trying to pick genres that don’t just vary, but actually might be enriching the music landscape as much as a soggy piece of cardboard. "Nu Jazz"? Please, that sounds like the playlist of a hipster coffee shop that overcharges for avocado toast and has benches too small for any of us normal-sized humans to sit on. You do realize you're one Spotify Discover Weekly away from being a walking meme, right? Let’s talk about your top artists, because it feels like you’re one misguided algorithm away from a Sonic Youth reunion tour. Logic and Kanye West? I'll give you a moment to tell me how you’re still edgy despite having a musical taste that screams “I wear socks with sandals” every chance you get. And then there’s Nic D—who even is that? You must be the only person in the world simultaneously bopping to "Metalcore" and "Downtempo," which absolutely sounds like the soundtrack to a mental breakdown on a Zoom call. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’re trying to collect ironic hipster points while pretending that you’re a connoisseur of cool. And we arrive at your most played songs, which prove you have the emotional depth of a kiddie pool. “Piss Me Off” and “Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" What a lovely mixture of angst and indifference. I hope you’re not playing that while pouring your heart out on Twitter, where the only thing you're saving is your sanity. If you were a song, you’d be “Why Bother?” by Beck, only without the irony—because clearly, you just don’t get it. So here’s to you, Ben, the ultimate anteater of taste. May your next playlist be less chaotic—and maybe a little less cringe.
