Spotify’s New Hardcore Gardening Playlist and Brain Dead Collab Will Rattle Greenhouses Everywhere

May 1, 2024

All around the world, millions of Spotify fans love listening to hardcore punk music—and some science shows that plants love it too. 

Hold up. What?

Yep, you read that right. Horticulturist, author and lecturer Chris Beardshaw says that research shows hardcore music helps plants grow. Stacked against other sonic selections like classical and pop, plants nurtured by hardcore are stimulated into amplified growth.

“Surprisingly, a increasing body of research shows that the frequency of hardcore music helps plants grow,” Chris told For the Record. “The thumping, repetitive, high-decibel noise of hardcore stimulates and energizes plants cells, almost as if they’re bouncing around in a tiny hardcore mosh pit.”

But hardcore music isn’t just helping plants grow faster. The hardcore music scene is growing in recent years, including on Spotify, with a 50% increase in the creation of “hardcore music” playlists by Gen Z listeners.*  

Known for its intensity, attitude, angst, grit, and DIY ethos, hardcore music is a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled subgenre of punk rock that’s perfect for awakening your senses—and your plants. That’s why Spotify is launching Hardcore Gardening, a playlist full of hardcore music classics and fresh favorites. 

Along with our newest playlist, we’re also teaming up with LA streetwear brand Brain Dead to launch Plant Growth Through Extreme Noise—a limited-edition apparel collection embodying the rebellious spirit of hardcore music.

September 22, 2022

If sharing your favorite looks on social media (or following along as your faves do) has become a staple of your daily routine, you’ll want to try on Spotify’s latest interactive in-app experience: GetReadyWithMusic. 

Creating the perfect vibe is a must while getting ready, and this new experience helps users create a curated, outfit-complimenting playlist to stream before you head out. Who said your songs couldn’t match your style?

So whether you’re taking it easy, prepping for a workout, or heading out for dinner with friends, GetReadyWithMusic has you covered. Simply answer prompts about your look, including the occasion, the colors, and the vibe. Then you’ll be able to upload a picture of your final outfit and receive a playlist tailored to that mood. 

Spotify is also partnering with digital creators and stars of The D’Amelio Show, Dixie and Charli D’Amelio, to launch GetReadyWithMusic and inspire fans to celebrate their own getting-ready playlists.
