People are making coronavirus and quarantine themed Spotify playlists

Online, many are seeking ways to cope with growing anxiety, boredom, and isolation. Visit Insider's homepage for more storiesAs thousands adjust to life in quarantine, a plethora of coronavirus outbreak-inspired playlists are popping up on Spotify. With names like "melodic future bass songs that make me forget about coronavirus," these playlists provide a surprisingly intimate look at how people across the globe are feeling about and coping with the ongoing crisis.

Dubbing the 23rd "the day of the Italian rage at the supermarkets," Freni recalls going to the nearest supermarket to photograph the empty shelves and experiencing for the first time "the fear and the disorder of a scared crowd." The following day, she created the playlist and used one of the ghostly supermarket photos as a cover image.

"I was conscious that we had to stay at home in order to prevent a sanitary disaster," Freni wrote in an email interview. "So I decided to create a playlist for my friends, in order to share with them some good sounds and vibes, and let the day flow." To be faithful to this "unique period in our recent history," Freni decided to include an eclectic mix of new releases from the past few weeks, songs by artists who canceled gigs in Milan to prevent contagion, songs about crisis, and "songs from the past" that "let the listeners both dance and meditate." Lastly, Freni added, she tried to put listeners in a good mood with a playlist that is equally joyful and melancholic. Her friends loved it.
