My playlist shows that my taste in music is very diverse. I listen to different genres ranging from Rap to Indie Rock. Although I am an active person the two songs that embarrass me are the ones from the running and jogging album because of how awful the covers are. Apart from that I think that the playlist is a good representation of my music taste.
