Avoiding distressing songs

Avoiding distressing songs

I heard someone screaming in distress and suffocating, freaking me out; then I realised it was coming from my speaker, where Spotify was playing. I had tried to get some background music going while I worked, but wow, 5 minutes later and the sound of this person suffocating is still in my head.

 

There was no button to report this or even an ability to block this track from ever again playing on my speaker. If Spotify is going to publish this sort of "music", I need the ability to avoid it, or I'll have to go elsewhere.

 

For reference, the "song" was Real Pain by Indigo De Souza, which had been lumped into "All New Indie".

 

So many people in our society have PTSD − they would be handling this even worse than I did. Plenty of songs feature gunshots and sirens. These are triggering, for real human beings.
