Forget discriminating¹ people based on their race, religion, or gender², it's all about playlistism, which means judging a person based on what songs are on the playlist of his or her digital music player.

把那些因人的种族、信仰或者性别而产生的歧视都抛在脑后吧，现在满街都是播放列表主义，也就是，根据某人电子音乐播放器上的歌曲列表来判断其为人。

 

Several recent studies in the US have shown that these lists are not only 'the soundtracks of our lives', but also reasonably reliable personality barometers³ used to suss out dating partners, job applicants⁴ and political candidates.

最近，美国有几项研究都发现，播放列表不仅是“我们生活的音轨”，同时也能作为合理的判定标尺推测出约会对象、求职者以及政党候选人的个性特征。
