If we’re going to be honest, sometimes crashing out is necessary to fully get over a break up. To crash out—AKA basically abandoning all rationale and surrendering to the whims of heartache without a thought for the aftermath—makes you feel alive. There’s a raw freedom in unraveling over a random situationship, or, being “down bad” in simpler terms. It’s a tempest of feeling, where you can scream into the winds of despair and emerge cleansed, somehow purer and more whole than before the storm began. As you ride out this emotional tempest, why not queue up a soundtrack curated for the occasion? From Kelly Clarkson’s soul-baring lyrics in Since U Been Gone to Drake’s quintessential down bad anthem Marvins Room, below, the ultimate playlist for your next crash out—because we can’t always be just a chill guy.
