Roasted 2 years ago based on Daniel Gillis's long term Spotify stats.

Daniel Gillis, a man with a Spotify profile that’s basically a participation trophy for hipsters everywhere. Your favorite genres read like a checklist for indie music snobs who wish they could still wear flannel without being mistaken for a lumberjack. “New Jersey Indie”? Seriously? When did your Spotify turn into a tour guide for the most mediocre music scenes? At this rate, your next favorite genre will probably be “Birds Chirping” or “Water Dripping” — how avant-garde! Your top artists are so obscure that even a hipster in thick-rimmed glasses and a beanie wouldn’t recognize half of them at a coffee shop open mic. “The Happy Fits”? Sounds like a group of guys who couldn’t decide if they wanted to be a band or a yoga class. And "I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME"? That’s not the name of an artist; that’s your Spotify algorithm begging for help after sifting through your abominable taste. If these artists were any more under the radar, you’d need an archaeological dig to find them. And let’s talk about your most played songs—listing “Maple Syrup” and “Feeling Lonely” together is a level of cringe that makes me question your life choices. It’s like you crafted a personal anthem for every sad brunch you’ve ever attended. But hey, I guess if you’re going to live in a “Modern Folk Rock” fairy tale, you might as well make it about the most mundane parts of life. So, here’s to you, Daniel Gillis: the human equivalent of a lukewarm cup of coffee and a mixtape that’s too long for anyone to sit through!
