Sort of, but it's more so that I tend to look for songs that match whatever's on my mind or whatever "thing" I think I need to hear at the moment. Although sometimes it is a fixtation on a certain artist or genre, most of the time I'm just looking to deal with something and the music is just there to destress or reorient.

It's also why I don't usually like describing what kind of music do I listen to, because I feel like I have to compromise for fear of hearing something like "Why do you listen to THAT?".

In a weird way I guess it's my opinion that music can be social and also innately personal, so for me asking "What's on your playlist" is equal parts "What do you like to listen to?" and "What are you like?" and I don't always feel open to answering personal questions.
