I Hate Everything About U
When scrolling through the vast number of songs that could easily make any Anti-Valentine’s Day play list, there is one song that distinguishes itself from many others. It encapsulates, for me, the spirit of Anti-Valentine’s Day in that it expresses very much the opposite of that lovie-lovie smootchie-smootchie garbáge that a day like Valentine’s requires. The original song was recorded by a hard-rock / heavy metal band from the early 90’s who’s name alone might start us off in the right direction for our Anti-Valentines Day celebration: Ugly Kid Joe. Their debut hit is the perfect break-up song, the perfect I’m-pissed-off-with-you song, and, in my most humble opinion, a superb candidate for the anthem of Anti-Valentine’s Day: “Everything About You” absolutely must top the list of any Anti-Valentine’s Day sentiment.

#ForeverAlone #SingePringle Playlist
Ahh Valentines Day, the day of lovers and spending a sickening amount of money on someone that probably would have just enjoyed a well-planned outing. (if you’re in a place where you can have an outing.) If you have just broken up, never been in a relation, ride the forever alone or single pringle train, these breakup songs are fantastic. Even if you are in a happy relationship they're still great songs.

Are you lonely? Do you hate Valentine's Day? Do you skip love songs?
As someone who has a chronic history of falling for emotionally unavailable men, love songs haven't always make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. They used to be the songs I'd often skip when my Spotify was on shuffle. But I recently found a way to listen to them again, all while fully embracing and accepting the reality that there is no romantic love in my life.

An Anti-Love Playlist for the Single Ladies
Ladies, raise your hand if you are single! I know it can feel very lonely at times and there are days when you probably think to yourself how nice it would be to have someone by your side. February 14th is the cruel reminder that none of us (Yes I am a member of your tribe) need denoting our solo status. Instead of jamming up in the holiday hype, I thought it would be interesting perhaps even fun to explore a different approach to Valentine’s Day.

"Moving On"

The Lack of Love Lasts Longer than Just Valentine's Day
Anti-Valentine's Day Playlist Valentine's Day is a sore subject for a lot of people, both single and in relationships. However, love, or the lack of it, isn't just subjected to this holiday. While a commercialized holiday about love doesn't help the situation, there is often an underlying issue or heartbreak that many are unable to heal from. The journey of my playlist will take you through learning and acknowleding our need for self-love and the personal lessons I've learned during my journey to finding it.

Dear Covid-19, Happy Valentine's Day (2021's Anti-V-Day Playlist)
This year one relationship we’ve all gotten into is one that none of us anticipated - intimacy with pain, sadness, worry, grief - with Covid-19. A year in, now, and none of us are untouched.

Anti-Valentine's Day OST
Is it sad that when I saw this challenge pop up, I already had a playlist ready to go to be posted? Valentine’s Day is a day I’ve never really cared about. Not in an edgy, anti-consumerism way, but simply just because it’s a day that doesn’t really resonate with me. It’s definitely one of those Marmite types of days - you either love it and spend the day romantically with your partner, or you hate it and spend the day wallowing in self-pity and anguish like myself.

Five Stages of POP!
I’m 24, and this year will be my, well, 24th Valentine’s day single. I’ve never been one to sit around and mope while everyone else is smelling red roses in candlelight...maybe because I actually don’t like roses and conventional “romantic gestures” seem really boring and anticlimactic to me.

The Perfect Anti-Valentine Playlist - Bruce Springsteen on Shuffle
There was a time I was anti-Valentine and unromantic. A time long ago. Before I met my wife, she reads my articles so I need to be clear about this. I'm absolutely not like that now, no way. I'm so romantic and in love you wouldn't believe it.

The Badass Queen Playlist
So you might have seen my other playlist that was about boycotting Valentine's Day by focusing on yourself in a feel good way. Well, this playlist is all about showing your middle finger to the whole institution by finding power in your singledom. And whilst I know the guys have their own problems and pressures associated with this dreaded day, this one goes out specifically to my ladies. To remind you that YOU are the main character. YOU are the badass queen of your kingdom.
