We filter through so many songs on any given day that it can be almost impossible to even remember what it is we were freaking out about yesterday, never mind 11 months ago. Did we even know each other in February? We were so young and innocent back then. In that way, year-end “Best Of!” lists are like a sped-up exercise in surprisingly proximate nostalgia, which is probably a metaphor of some sort. Or maybe they’re more like a bookmark tab for the infinitely expanding data dump that is the content folder we keep on our brain desktop in the space where useful information used to go? Maybe it’s just a click-bait post to trick you into visiting our website?
These 20 songs below may not have technically been the best of the year, because obviously that’s an empty marketing construct, but they were the ones that I actually kept coming back to again and again, and that has to mean something, right? As is often the case, it’s a mix of predictable winners, minor-trolling to shock you with how #DGAF we are, and really weird-seeming choices that are probably the most sincere ones of them all.
