Money Doesn't Equal Love - Anti Valentines' Day Play List
Just to be clear, I am not anti-Valentines’ Day. Let that be known. I think at its core Valentines’ Day is a wonderful excuse to go above and beyond for your partner and express gratitude for the positive impact they’ve had on your life. The problem with Valentine’s Day, is capitalism.

Songs to Celebrate You
Ah, yes, Valentines Day. The fateful 14th day of the second month of February that everyone either anxiously waits for with bated breath or stubbornly sneers at with a giant bomb fire prepared in their backyard.

*Dramatic eye roll*
Oh god here it comes. The one day out of the year where you’ll find couples on Instagram acting like they’re absolutely infatuated with each other.

For my other loves
Generally, when I find that people hate Valentine's Day, it's because I believe their compartmentalization of love has shoved it firmly into the relationship kind of love.

It's Better to Have Loved and Lost....
I like to consider myself a hopeless romantic so in a way, I do enjoy seeing all the sweet gestures and creative ideas couples come up with on Valentine's day. Nevertheless, it's the endless supply of terrible love ballads that annoy me to no end. I imagine every radio station DJ walks into the studio on the 14th, blows the dust off an old box, and inserts "Valentine's Mix" then throws in some new stuff just for flare. Isn't this holiday supposed to be about going the extra mile? I feel like it's an entire day dedicated to making us relive the nostalgic feeling we would get a 3 a.m. when we heard Celine Dion's "The Power Of Love" playing on the TV. I'm certain someone's dad is digging through an old box looking for that CD right now.

Another Sad Indie Girl (Dying from Cancer) Playlist
1. "In the Lost and Found" (Honky Bach) Elliott Smith When I moved home to West Virginia two summers after I was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer (but really, I was), you were the first guy who responded (like, actually responded intelligently) to my messages on Tinder. After I told you I loved Elliott Smith, you confessed he happened to be one of your favorites as well.

Be My Angry Valentine
When Valentine's Day comes around, only some people's hearts flutter. For others, the day brings angst, anger, and hearts ready for revenge. To celebrate the non-love side of the holiday, here's a playlist that releases the violence of emotion and immerses itself in the break-up. Why wish to be part of a couple when breaking up hurts so bad? Instead rejoice in telling off your former love and remind them of who they lost.

F.U.V
Lately, I’ve been having a lot of fun making playlists. I find it relaxing and a good way to express yourself through the music. Of course, when Vocal announced it’s anti-valentines playlist, I gave it a go straight away. I reccomend anyone who‘s a writer on Vocal to give their challenges a try, because they do have some challenges that free members can write for as well. At the moment, they have a very generous three month trial. I’ve attached my playlist on Spotify below and I’m gonna go through with why I picked them.

Valentine's day is for the Amazons.
Valentines day. As a retail worker, this holiday has put me in a defeated mood more than once. Showing up to work and every isle flipped to mush season. Red heart balloons strung about, pink heart shaped cookies, and endless love songs on the radio. It just reminded me of past disappointment.

Anti-Valentines Mixtape
Let’s face it, Valentines’ day is not for everyone. How many of us are tired of listening to the same love songs everyday? Sometimes having an anti playlist is just as fun. I had a lot of fun putting my first one together, so I made another one too. I also have a lot of history with this playlist. On my way to school, I used to listen to this tape and it had about six or seven songs on this playlist.

Shine Without a Valentine
Believe it or not but we owe Valentine's Day to the ancient Romans. I wouldn't be just speaking for myself, saying that we'd be much better off if they kept it in their era. Anyways, at the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius made it official that every year on February 14th, the world will celebrate St. Valentine's Day. So here we are, 1525 years later celebrating love with cheesy pig shape chocolate boxes and coffee mugs with sentences that deserve a creative jail time. People are desperately trying to make up for the lack of love they shared the other 364 days of the year. They buy gifts neither needed nor appreciated. They feel like everyone around them should celebrate too, and they fire arrows from their eyes like confused little cupids. The reality is, not everyone wants to celebrate Valentine's Day, whether it's because we don't have a significant other or maybe we hate the cringe of it all and the unnecessary pressure to be part of it. Valentine's is not for everyone, and it might be genuinely unpleasant for some of us. But there's a way around it- good music. Let's lift our spirits with this unique playlist made by me for us.
