Abstract
Music streaming site Spotify provides a rich point of reference for current perceptions of queer music. Users are able to curate their own playlists that are accessible to the public, and Spotify itself curates a number of “Pride” playlists. This paper presents a brief survey of Spotify playlists found under search headings “queer,” and “LGBTQ”. It identifies some preliminary thematic threads in contemporary queer music playlists, as well as the artists that recur on these lists
