In honor of launching our birthday charity drives for Ash and Luke, we’ve come up with a Tumblr Tag Challenge in order to garner some more exposure for them! We’re calling it The Playlist Tag!
The objective is pretty straightforward, make playlists with songs that remind you of Ash and/or Luke!
1. All good playlists have a theme!
“I Made My Crush a Spotify Playlist”. Capitalizing on Meme Culture™ we’re taking a note from @hanwoodly on Twitter and asking you guys to use song titles to create fun, silly sentences about the boys. To paraphrase Tyra Banks, silly, but be respectful. (Ash Example) (Luke Example)
Audio Moodboard/Storyboard. I know y’all are always out here saying “mood” about and in regards to everything, so why not translate that into a playlist? What does Ashton driving around in a car during sunset sound like? What does Luke free falling from an airplane sound like? Illustrate those scenes with music or tell a story about said scene with the songs/song lyrics you choose! (Ash Example)(Luke Example)
Keep It Simple Sweetie. Simple is by no means a negative. In fact, I think I’m most excited about this theme! Make a playlist featuring all of the songs that remind you of your chosen boy! (Ash Example) (Luke Example)
You can view these themes as guidelines and suggestions! They are by no means binding! Be creative and make something that you’re really proud of! Just make sure that there is some sort of unifying idea for your playlist (a mix with all female bands? Or exclusively artists of color? Disney songs? Show tunes? Whatever floats your boat)!
2. Now that you’ve got your theme, you’re gonna need a way to create that playlist. You can put your mixes together on Spotify, 8tracks, or YouTube. There is no limit to how many mixes you can make, so go wild!
3. Once you’ve got your playlist made, there a few ways you can go about showing the world your creation!
(Highly Recommended) You can make a new Tumblr post and paste screenshots of your playlist (don’t forget to include a link back to the original mix!) and tag us.
Sharing your new playlist with us via your chosen platform (Spotify, 8tracks, or YouTube) and we’ll be sure to reblog, share, etc. with the rest of our followers on Tumblr and your chosen platform.
Posting screenshots of your playlist on Instagram or Twitter (and linking back to the original mix) and tagging/sharing them with us.
4. So, you’ve got your theme chosen, mix made, and you’ve posted your playlist on your chosen platform.
Make sure that you tag/share your post/playlist with your friends! And please be sure you tag/share with us! At the end of each month, we’ll be posting our Top Ten Favorite Playlists and we really wanna make sure your mix is included in our decision making!
5. And finally, the last and most important rule, please be sure to include a link back to the charity benefiting the boy of your choice in your playlist description.
Hope you guys have fun with this! We’re really excited to see what you come up with!
Please don’t stop giving (your time, effort, love, and care),
Spotify, 8tracks, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram
