Music

'Cause when words fail, music speaks.  

The "Genius" annotations on Spotify are basically like side footnotes about all the songs. Any side notes no matter how random or unnecessary will most likely show up... and people are way happy about it! Call it nostalgia but this takes us way back when watching music videos on MTV or VH1 and there would be pop-ups letting us a little about the song or artist!
