Aro Tunes Thursday | @aggressivelyarospec’s Playlists

Have you ever heard a song that describes your feelings as an arospec person so perfectly, even when that wasn’t the author’s intention?

Well, many of our followers felt this way and decided to share their songs with us; as a result, we’ve created some playlists you can now find in two different formats.

Aro Tunes Thursday is the chance to share the music that reflects how you feel about your aromanticism, whether it was written for us or not. Our goal is to show the vast diversity in our identity, not only in its musical taste, but in its feelings. So, if you have a song you identify with from an arospec perspective, share it with us and help us build the soundtrack of our community.

Every Thursday, let the music flow!

You can find the Aro Tunes Thursday playlists here:
