Using accurate mood tags, genre labels, and clear descriptions helps your playlist get discovered by the right artists, listeners, and curators. This information improves visibility across Feed, Explore, and search filters on PlaylistFeed.
This guide explains how to choose the right tags and write an effective description.
Mood Tags
Mood tags describe the emotional or situational vibe of your playlist. Examples include:
- Chill
- Energetic
- Dark
- Uplifting
- Moody
- Cinematic
- Focus
- Party
Recommended:
- Select 1–3 mood tags that reflect the actual feeling of your playlist.
- Avoid generic stacking (e.g., selecting every possible mood).
- Choose tags that match what someone might search for.
Genre Tags
Genre tags help users and artists find playlists that fit their sound. Examples include:
- Indie Rock
- Hip-Hop
- Pop Punk
- R&B
- EDM
- Jazz
- Lo-fi
- Trap
- Singer-Songwriter
Recommended:
- Be specific. “Indie Rock” is better than just “Rock.”
- Only tag genres that consistently match the music in your playlist.
- If your playlist blends styles, pick the dominant one and add a sub-genre if allowed.
Playlist Description
The description appears under your playlist title and helps users understand what to expect.
What to include:
- A short summary of the playlist’s purpose or vibe
- Mention the genre, mood, or ideal listening setting
- Optional: include inspiration, timeframe, or emotional context
Examples:
- “Melancholic alt-pop for late night drives.”
- “High-energy underground hip-hop — updated weekly.”
- “Lo-fi instrumentals for study, rain, and deep focus.”
Recommended:
- Keep it under 1–2 sentences
- Use clear, simple language
- Avoid keyword stuffing — clarity > SEO tricks
