Spotify Goes Down And Users Are Losing Their Minds

The unexpected nap taken by Spotify made it widely a millionaire among music listeners and the turning points made almost all heads scratch with ways to live without a daily musical supplement. A streaming service down this morning, resulting into total chaos on the internet. Seriously now, what is everybody supposed to do, just sit down and think? Terrifying.

Pop Base tweeted about it; the replies came as a slurry mix of panic, humor, and outright betrayal. One crushed by the news was Keke, who tweeted Bruh I literally need this for my job how am I supposed to drive there in silence?? Mood. Imagine having to do car quiet time without a specially curated playlist. Yikes.

Everyone else suddenly thought it was perfect time to showcase their favorite alternative now. Scala wasted no time in throwing down the gauntlet for YouTube Music with a link like it was a life raft. While Davide tweeted, ‘Us apple music users can’t relate!!!,’ smugness filled the stans of Apple Music. Aha, get it, you win this round.

There were, of course, the melodramatic ones. How Mia summed up the despair of many was quite simply: ‘How am i supposed to romanticize my sadness now?’ Honestly, same. Spotify outages hit a bit differently when you’re deep in your feelings. Let’s not forget what one guy said: ‘Tf what am I supposed to do with my life now?’ Deep. Activated: existential crisis.

Some responses, however, were purely comical Opera GX replied: ‘Don’t care, listening to peak,’ and added a screenshot of their music player. Savage. But another user, hyewonnie on the other hand, went on to say, ‘It’s not down if you listen to peak music.’ True loyalty is dead when Spotify fails.

Of course conspiracy theorists also came into the picture. BARFIAC challenged anyone who could listen at that moment to ask,’ Who do we blame for this??’ Valid question, though: hackers? A glitch? Universe punishing us for skipping ads? The world may never know.

And this followed after the ones who took it personally:’ Fix it immediately,’ was what a user said, as if waiting with bated breath the whole Spotify team was just waiting for his tweet to action. Another, meanwhile, blasted, ‘Suck Spotify,’ and followed that up with a long line of random meaningless hashtags. Anger is really a fuel to creativity.

Then this outage has also thrown up some inconvenient truths. ‘I thought I was tripping istg,’ admittedone. Super relatable, right? How many times haven’t we refreshed an app ten times thinking it was down on our Wi-Fi? Many.

Yet, most likely the most iconic reply came from Soulbound TV, who tweeted, ‘So I guess it’s just me and my thoughts now… terrifying.’ Whole mood. Spotify dropping is pretty much like being left to your own brain digitally. No thanks.

So far, there has been no official word from Spotify in respect of the probable outage, making users assume, complain, and sometimes even potshot to hit Apple Music with defiance. Is this the end of the run for Spotify? Probably not, but today found the internet aligned to suffer.

Meanwhile, if you crave the podcast at least we proffer… humming? Or just sitting in silence. Could be a nice thing, or could be an absolute nightmare. Depends on your vibe.
