Dips in temperatures seem to always bring about a rise in desires for romantic relationships (a partner’s hoodie and a hug wouldn’t be terrible right now). As everyone else couples up, staying single during the social phenomenon that is cuffing season is a medal-worthy achievement, and angsty music just happens to be the perfect outlet for romantic disappointment. The hopeful-to-disappointed evolution of this playlist aligns with the emotional experience of these lonely winter months. With just one listen, the age-old theme of love troubles will leave listeners with some reassurance that they’re not the only ones empty handed this cuffing season.
