Agree that we need more info before we can give you recs, but just wanted to drop in to say I'm sorry about your breakup, OP! However, I think this is a great way to cope. After a breakup, I make it a point to try new restaurants, foods, drinks, etc. I invest in new habits and watch/listen to new content. If I'm financially able, I'll buy some new clothes. Just invest in yourself in new ways and build new facets of your personality that aren't associated with that chapter of your life! (with the caveat that you continue growing as a person and don't forget the lessons learned from that relationship)

Thank you so much! I don't want to reinvent myself just learn more about who I am ❤️ I know I'll be able to go back to those artists some time, but for now I need something different! I like most things to be honest, indie and emo seems to be my go to

THE CRANE WIVES -- CAN'T GO BACK

https://youtu.be/tKaWFHhj0B8

.................................................

It's time to learn to be...

More forgiving of yourself.

And your sins.

And those mistakes you made.

You've gotta try to take...

The lessons away from them.

And leave the rest behind.

Oh, regret, put it out, put it out of your mind.

All the self-loathing in the world...

Won't change a thing.

'Cause you can't go back, darlin'

The time has come for moving on.

You can't be always trying to dig up....

What you've already buried.

You've got to carry, carry, carry on.

Carry on.

It's not fair.

It's not fair.

It's not fair.

(When have you ever known the world to be a fair place?)

It's not fair.

(All things end and all things change)

It's not fair.

(You'll go back and laugh someday)

It's not fair.

(Or at least you'll learn to be okay)

'Cause you can't go back, darlin'

The time has come for moving on.

You can't be always trying to dig up...

What you've already buried.

You've got to carry, carry, carry on.

Carry on.

It's time to learn to be.

More forgiving of yourself.

I would recommend some 70s, 80s, and 90s hits. Spotify will have some pre-made playlists! The disco era songs will be upbeat and a nice change from the emo songs.

BUT if you'd be willing to listen to a top notch Indie rock breakup jam before you change genres, "Changing of the Seasons" by Two Door Cinema Club was my anthem during my high school breakup, haha.
