Even after death she has to suffer your infernal playlist for all eternity.

If Spotify never caught your attention before, it sure has now.

Not in a good way tho. I'm not going to argue against anyone particular afterlife beliefs. However if you truly believe your loved ones could hear this playlist, how would keeping it on eternal loop not be torture?

And why the fuck does liquid death have to do with this? Just the name? Cause that is trashy af.

Liquid Death was inspired at a festival, and was originally marketed at straight edge punks and metal heads, so it kinda flows that they'd try to partner with a music tech company

It's cringy as heck, but I can definitely see certain people wanting to be interred in something like this

Made of plastic and costs $495.

Together with this "eternal playlist" it seems like yet another way to show max brand simping and that you intend to go in it when you die... Cause Spotify will certainly be around eternally.

Grandma gets to hear “six sevvven” for all of eternity.

Damn, wife's still alive, otherwise this would have been perfect for bombarding the atoms formerly known as Mrs. Noodle with Dream Theater and Rush.

Did they take this idea from the TV show Poker Face? Because there's an episode involving this, except its not an urn, its a record, pressed with the remains into the vinyl.

They turned that meme about summoning Ronald Reagan from hell and making him listen to dubstep into a real thing!
