5 Pro Tips for Naming Playlists Creatively

With so many options, and to avoid sounding generic, everyone should be asking “How do I choose a great playlist name?”

Just follow these 5 Pro Tips for Creative Playlist Names and you won’t go wrong!

Specialize: Every successful playlist centers around a particular mood, style, or genre. Decide what your playlist revolves around, and your naming game will be more focused.
Associate: What in this very diverse world do you, or others, associate with the mood/genre/style of music you are compiling?
Have a think about and write down associated things like emotions, seasons, colors, artists, city/area, time of day, culture, food, etc. These words will create more possibilities either for recognizing the name when you see it or to find inspiration for making your own name.
Keep it mood-specific: Is it a lighthearted playlist? Throw in some humor with a playful pun. Does it center around laid-back music? Pop in calming words like relax, slow, take-time, peaceful, and so on. People like to know what to expect, and creating an appropriate feeling with the name of the playlist wins half the battle of getting them to listen to it.
Get looking: Use the name generator or take a look through the hand-selected lists either grouped by mood, or by genre.
Write down any names (or copy and paste in notes/notepad) that stand out to you, even if they’re not the one. They may serve as inspiration when it comes to making the final decision.
Have patience: Finding the perfect name may take a little while, but seeing as the name is one of the biggest hooks to attract listeners, it’s worth waiting for the right name.

Once you’ve finalized your playlist and packed it with perfect tunes, be sure to boost its initial popularity by sharing it with your friends, coworkers, family, random strangers in the street, and any social media groups which are musically inclined and allow self-promotion.

Okay, maybe not the random strangers.

Before you get to the playlist names grouped by mood, you can use The Ultimate Playlist Name Generator!

Playlist Names By Mood

Mood is the number one guide for choosing a playlist, so it should be the number one guide for naming a playlist.

It’s all about them feels.
