Keeping track of changing music tastes when transitioning from depression to hypomania is a real pain in the ass.
Weeks ago: "Let's try this song. And that one. And these two. OK, that works."
Now: "Fuck this song. Fuck that song. And those two. Fuck ALL of that."

Meanwhile, keeping track of my music tastes, most of the time:
“One more time, and then I’ll find something new.” One thousand repeats later, “huh, I guess I really like this song. I’ll put it on the list.”

The Spotify algorithm has actually been pretty great for reducing the wavelength of that cycle, so to speak.

Yeah, it's not doing too great for me. Keeps linking me stuff I don't like. I think it's because my taste is too eclectic. A lot of noise in my sample sets.
"You liked that song, so you'll like this."
"Look, it's really just something about the bassline on tha-"
"But you also like this artist here, so I guess you'll like this artist from the same genre?"
"No."
"How about this collection of songs featuri-"
"No."
