Music has the unique ability to match any emotion, but what happens when you're feeling down and your playlist is filled only with reggaeton?
According to social media video creator Nathalee Ramos, in such a situation, there's no choice but to stop crying because the music simply demands it. "You can't even stay sad anymore; you just have to get happy," said the young Cuban residing in the United States, alongside a reel she shared on her Instagram.
The funniest part of her video is seeing her tear-streaked face as she scrolls through her playlist, unable to find a song that matches her mood. Her reaction is one of sheer frustration as her music selection includes only tracks like "Marca Mandarina" and "Totaila" by Oniel Bebeshito, "No sé si te conté" by L Kimii, and other Cuban reggaeton hits.
However, the final straw comes with "La papaya de 40 libras" by La Diosa, at which point Nathalee completely gives up on finding music that suits her feelings.
And you, what kind of music is in your playlist?
