Roasted 2 years ago based on Ed's long term Spotify stats.
Ed, wow, your Spotify profile is like a mixtape for someone who takes “sad brunch” way too seriously. With a top artist list that screams, “I have a deep emotional connection to my Wi-Fi,” it’s clear you’ve made a pact with Jeffrey Lewis to be as obscure as possible. How does it feel to know the only thing getting more play than your favorite songs is your inability to keep a conversation going without referencing some obscure track that nobody else has heard of? We get it—your Spotify is your diary, and it looks like you've got a lot of angst to work through! Your favorite genres read like a playlist that comes with a pair of thick-framed glasses and a skinny latte at a hipster coffee shop. “Permanent Wave”? Really? Kind of sounds like the hairstyle stuck in a midlife crisis, just like your playlist. You might be one ironic T-shirt away from starting a “thrift shop revolution” that only you and your mom will understand. Let’s be honest, Ed—Soft Rock isn’t a genre, it’s a warning label for people who can’t handle actual rock ‘n’ roll. At this rate, your Spotify Wrapped is just going to be an elaborate apology for not listening to anything cool. But hey, any profile that lists "Depression! Despair!" as a frequently played song definitely deserves some kind of award. I can picture you, earbuds in, nodding solemnly to your playlist while creating a PowerPoint presentation on why George Michael deserved better. You may have a heart full of soul, Ed, but with those track choices, you're more like the lonely heart thinking they're way more interesting than they actually are. So keep listening to your “retro soul,” but maybe add a little fire to that playlist—because right now, the only thing groovier than your music taste is the dust collecting on your social life!
Roasts are purely for fun and entertainment. They're not meant to be taken seriously. Enjoy the laughs, but remember your music taste is uniquely yours!
