Roasted 2 years ago based on Simone van Lier's long term Spotify stats.

Simone van Lier, I see you've cracked the code to what it means to have the most pretentious playlists on Spotify. With a favorite genre list that reads like a hipster's bingo card, you’ve really outdone yourself here. "Permanent Wave"? Really? I can’t tell if that’s a genre or just the sound your hair makes when you're trying to look artistic but end up smelling like a thrift store. And don't get me started on "Hoerspiel," which sounds like an avant-garde way of saying, “I collect vintage recordings of people whispering to me.” And can we talk about your top artists? Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds? I get it—nobody wants to admit they just listen to the same tortured man belt his way through the apocalypse. But your obsession is so intense it could start a support group for those who misinterpret existential dread as deep emotional engagement. David Nathan and Erin Hunter? You're clearly trying to book club your way through musical genres, but all you’ve really succeeded in is giving everyone a reason to leave the room. That's right, when friends come over, they'd rather discuss the intricate plot of a soap opera than get wrapped up in your Sonic Misery Tour. Looking at your most-played songs, I almost feel like I need a therapist just to help process your Gibbs-free emotional breakdown. If this list were a high school relationship, it’d definitely make all the wrong choices: conflating sadness with depth and moping around while insisting you’re just “reflective.” I’m hoping the “conversion” you keep playing isn’t about your ongoing transformation from being a music lover to a gloomy bard—if it’s a call for help, just know that we’re here for you. But let’s be real, Simone. Your Spotify can’t help but scream, “I’m one cardigan away from being a full-time sad poet.”
