 - One genre per playlist. Italian rap (Fabri Fibra, Ghali, Willie Peyote,

+
+### Italian
+- He started on Italian music with Sanremo 2024 and is learning the
+  language. Two playlists: Pop Italiano (pop around Sanremo 2024: Angelina
+  Mango, Annalisa, Rose Villain, Elodie, Clara) and Rap Italiano (Fabri
+  Fibra, Ghali, Willie Peyote, Dargen D'Amico, plus classics).
+- "Female-led" narrows the pop feel but isn't a rule; duos and features are
+  fine (2026-10-27).
+- Mahmood fits the rap list in small doses (2026-10-27).
+- Discovery is part of the point here; unfamiliar songs are welcome
+  (2026-10-27).
 - Kanye: golden era through Yeezus (2013) only. Nothing after.

 - Skipped: Less Than Jake – Gainesville Rock City (2026-10-26).
 
+### Third-wave ska (Ska playlist)
+- "Classic to me": Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris, Less Than Jake, Skatune
+  Network and JER. Fun and high-energy, ideally upbeat songs with sad
+  lyrics. Pure ska, as opposed to Lifting, which will drift (2026-10-27).
+- Skatune Network covers are effectively new songs; a Fall Out Boy cover is
+  fine here even though Fall Out Boy itself was too pop for Skatepark Punks
+  (2026-10-27).
+- Wants studio versions, not live, wherever a song exists in both.
+
+### '90s/'00s alt-rock (Basic Alt-Rock)
+- Nostalgic radio alt-rock: CAKE, Eve 6, up to Audioslave and the garage
+  revival (Jet, White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand). He calls it "super basic"
+  and crowd-pleasing, and wanted that in the name (2026-10-27).
+- One song each of Green Day, The Offspring and blink-182 fits here
+  (2026-10-27).
+- Cut: Marcy Playground "Sex and Candy", Semisonic "Closing Time" ("lame")
+  (2026-10-27).
+
 ### Heavy rock
 - Likes Rage Against the Machine; mixes well into ska-punk for lifting.
-- System of a Down: fine, but at most two songs per playlist.
+- System of a Down: fine in small doses; he didn't listen to them much.
+  Corrected 2026-10-27: an earlier note said "at most two songs per
+  playlist" as if it were his rule. He never set it; it was generalized
+  from the Lifting playlist happening to have two.
 - Skipped all Deftones (2026-10-26).

@@ -71,6 +103,73 @@ doesn't think about it.
 - Asked for The Devil Makes Three "All Hail"; it replaced "Spinning Like a
   Top", the lightest of their four (2026-10-27).
 
+### Pop-punk and skate punk (Skatepark Punks)
+- Party playlist modeled on what Spotify's "Skatepark Punks" used to be.
+  Nostalgia hits (Blink-182, Lit, SR-71, The Offspring, Green Day) that make
+  people his age say "oh yeah", alternated with skate punk old and new (PUP,
+  FIDLAR, Op Ivy, The Dead Milkmen "Punk Rock Girl").
+- Too pop for it: Wavves "King of the Beach" and Fall Out Boy "Sugar, We're
+  Goin Down" were cut from the draft (2026-10-27).
+- From outside his library he took Pennywise "Bro Hymn", NOFX "Linoleum",
+  Descendents "Hope", Amyl and the Sniffers "Hertz", and The Chats "Smoko"
+  (near the end). Passed on Millencolin, Bad Religion, Teenage Bottlerocket,
+  The Menzingers, Ramones and Suicidal Tendencies (2026-10-27).
+- Wants more Amyl and the Sniffers in his library generally (2026-10-27).
+- Wants his library as an influence, not a boundary; open to new music in
+  every playlist (2026-10-27).
+
+### Work music: lo-fi and game soundtracks
+- Instrumental background for work. He knows little about either genre and
+  used to just search "lofi" or "Hollow Knight soundtrack"; fidelity matters
+  less than for other playlists. Kept as two playlists (2026-10-27).
+- No words: cut Nujabes "Feather" for its rap verses (2026-10-27).
+- No piano covers. Piano grabs his attention; string covers (guitar, harp)
+  are preferred, other instruments are fine. Piano-led originals are fine
+  if soft or over a beat (Wet Hands, Flower Dance kept, 2026-10-27).
+- Nintendo and the base Stardew Valley soundtracks aren't on YouTube Music;
+  use covers (John Oeth guitar for Zelda, Sleeping Phoenix fingerstyle guitar
+  for Stardew, HarpistKT harp). His Silksong "Choral Chambers" is a Luke
+  Pickman cover.
+
+### Party pop (Big Gay Pregame)
+- For hanging out with a younger crowd, 22-26, mostly women and gay men:
+  party music they like that he also likes. Kesha is the anchor (141 songs in
+  his library).
+- Likes some Chappell Roan, Charli xcx, Doechii, Sabrina Carpenter and Billie
+  Eilish; Big Freedia is good (2026-10-27).
+- Not for him: Lady Gaga, Beyoncé. Tyler, The Creator doesn't fit this
+  playlist (2026-10-27).
+- Electroclash is a maybe: "a few" mixed in to carry his taste (Le Tigre,
+  Gossip, Peaches). Unsure about Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Heads Will Roll" remix;
+  will listen (2026-10-27).
+- Peaches "Fuck the Pain Away" is the intended 3rd electroclash song; it
+  failed on the YouTube age check and needs the login in Shanty settings.
+
+### Spanish-language (Música Latina)
+- He's barely explored it. Likes Bad Bunny "well enough" and Rosalía. The
+  Spanish songs in his library came from looking for similar music, not
+  from liking those songs, so don't treat them as endorsements (2026-10-27).
+- The goal is learning the language and pop culture: what Latinos his age
+  grew up with and hear now. He asked for one big, broad playlist instead
+  of one genre, grouped by style so he can find what he likes, then
+  refine into narrower playlists later. The one-genre rule doesn't apply to
+  this playlist (2026-10-27).
+- Liked the 2000s reggaetón picks (Gasolina, Atrévete) (2026-10-27).
+
+### MySpace-era emo (i still remember myspace)
+- Middle school, about 2003-2008. He listened to the Beatles then, out of
+  contrarianism, but wants the actual popular emo of the time.
+- Dislikes the glossy pop-emo sound: Fall Out Boy, All-American Rejects,
+  Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah", Angels & Airwaves. Likes Yellowcard
+  "Ocean Avenue", which is punchier. One Fall Out Boy song is OK as a nod to
+  their prominence (2026-10-27).
+- Panic! at the Disco is good; a little Simple Plan is OK (2026-10-27).
+- Wants the harder MySpace side: Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Fort Minor,
+  Evanescence. Some screaming is fine; he just didn't listen to much
+  screamo (2026-10-27).
+- Undecided on Dresden Dolls-type dark cabaret; one song ("Coin-Operated
+  Boy") is in as a test (2026-10-27).
