We here at Hypable are pretty much convinced the Mayans were wrong and there’s nothing to worry about but that doesn’t mean we still can’t have a bit of fun with the whole ‘End of the World’ theme!
Plus it seemed like a shame to waste a perfectly good opportunity to create another themed playist; our staffers put their thinking caps on and enlisted the help of guest-columnist Sergio to help us create the ULTIMATE End of the World playlist for your enjoyment. If, in the unlikely event that an apocalypse was indeed upon us, these are the songs we’d like to go out listening to– we hope you enjoy!
Note: If you use Spotify, we’ve created a Spotify playlist at the end of this article that you can add to your library.
1.“Highway to Hell”
AC/DC
AC/DC
This track is a “no brainier” when it comes to making an apocalypse playlist. Come
on, if we’re going out tomorrow, don’t you wanna go out with a bang? Just imagine “Highway to Hell” playing the background as the world tumbles down, wind flowing though your hair–bad ass!
2.“Distraction”
Angels & Airwaves
Angels & Airwaves
This song is a profession of love, it is also a promise to be a “distraction” of sorts
in the midst of war and tragedy. A perfect song for any of us romantics if we ever DO find ourselves caught in the middle of an apocalypse.
3. “Blackbird”
The Beatles
The Beatles
A slightly morbid addition to the list, this song is for all those who would welcome an
apocalypse, seeking liberation.
4. “Hello, Brooklyn”
All Time Low
All Time Low
If there’s one thing pop-punk band All Time Low knows how to do well it’s how to sing songs about having a good time. Blast this on your way to that End Of The World shindig you’ve been looking forward to all December long– we guarantee it’ll get you pumped up and ready to party!
5. “Living Louder”
The Cab
The Cab
This song is a kind of promise to yourself– a bucket list of sorts– of all the things
you would do if you knew this was the day you were going to die. Why not take a page
from The Cab’s book and drink and laugh your time away on earth with all your best friends?
