You don't find the playlist, the playlist finds you...

“if villain bad why sexy”😩🤚

tchaikovsky had no idea how much he slayed in swan lake

This is the perfect music while grading tenth graders' essays. In their mind I am already a villain, and now my red pen swooping across the nonsensical words they chose to put on paper with the same tempo as Danse Macabre... It fills me with joy.

Tricking people into listening to classical music, absolutely wonderful

"Starts hearing Swan Lake" - This is not villainous at all. *5 seconds later* - Nevermind, this is pure evil.

Listened to this when eating, and now, I am sitting alone at the head of a polished oak table, in a room decorated with suits of armour and paintings of historic battles, pouring myself a glass of red wine, knowing that I have finally bested my opponent, the Stir Fry.

Listening to this while drawing maps really makes me feel like I'm gonna take over the world.

"By Pyotr F*CKING Tchaikovsky" The only way to introduce him

**Does homework villainously**

His lips twitched, his grin widening. It wasn't a grin he had ever once possessed before. Not forced, or submissive. It was almost psychotic. The glow behind his eyes crackled like a strike of lightning before bursting, leaving nothing but darkness. It was calling his name, the darkness. And for the first time of many, he answered.

To everyone who's studying with this music: Checklist: • A bottle of water, at least 1 liter. Your brain works better if it has enough water and drinking helps you to concentrate💧 • Your charger. You sometimes don't even notice that your device's battery is going down, so better have it plugged in all the time🔋 • Your headphones. You will be able to focus more with headphones, because it blocks background noises. Also, if it's a late night study session, you won't wake up anyone🎧 • a tea or coffee. Coffee keeps you awake, green or black tea can make you feel more awake as well.☕ • Your study/work stuff: your laptop/tablet/phone , a few pens, paper or whatever you need.⌨ •Anything else you could need, what about a heat pad, a blanket, a good lamp, your pet so you have a study buddy 🐈 Reminder : After an hour, you should stand up and walk a bit around. Better stop the music or put on different music for the break. Open your window, even if it's cold outside. Fresh air will make it better, trust me. You could also lay your head down on your desk for ten minutes and listen to a podcast. Or, if you have to read a book, listen to the audiobook of it. You can also listen to the audiobook while doing another thing, that's even better than listening to music while reading the book. I hope y'all had a good day, if not, that's okay too. Remember to take care of yourself and try to get some sleep tonight 😴🧸 ( The above part of the comment isn't originally mine but I want to help people but the below part is mine )

>Clicked to feel like 19th century villain >Swan lake starts playing >Started to feel like a princess lost in the woods

I became the villain when an ad interrupted this masterpiece of a playlist.

i didnt get a single ad through the whole playlist, this is a sign.

My friend used to be a chemistry teacher but he got cancer. Haven’t seen him in a while but he said this playlist was his favorite 😁

Why are so many people acting as though Tchaikovsky is an underrated, unknown gem? He's one of the most known and respected composers in the world...

These ads on the other hand make me feel like a 21st-century peasant

I recently failed most of my midterms and I was about to drop out, but I just have found this amazing playlist and now I feel empowered, motivated and FREE. I’ve come to the conclusion that I CAN DO THIS. This playlist really touched my soul. Thank you, it was everything I needed.

Lacrimosa always makes me so emotional. It is impossible to listen to such a marvelous piece and not cry... and to think it was Mozart's last composition.

"by Pyotr FUCKING Tchaikosky" As a piano player, I feel that.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz whenever he’s talking about childhood trauma

I have discovered that classical music can be played in the background when studying literally any subject and it never diverts my attention like pop songs. its amazing

Five ad breaks in 25 minutes really bringing out the villain in me, thanks fam 😭

A hero would sacrifice you to save a million, but a villain would sacrifice a million to save you. - A random Villain

I didn't realize that villains in the 19th century listened to so many car insurance ads.

Fun fact: 33: 56, Devils Thrill- Giuseppe Tartini actually said that he dreamed of the Devil himself playing the Violin, this song is as close as he could get it. So, technically, if you believe what Tartini said, this piece is written by the Devil himself…

I love how the video's retention graph spiked when Lacrimosa played.

Alternative name: "You will recognize all of these, even if you don't know their names yet. Have fun."

the first one brings me back to my barbie days

Played this in 1939, some random Austrian painter suddenly makes a speech.

"You will always be fond of me" sounded kind of ominous in this context. Reading the full quote hit me like a truck.

Only the 19th century kids will remember these bangers

So this is what Dio listened to in his coffin for 100 years.

The *dark determination* within thumbnail guy’s eyes is magnificent.

My boy Mozart made sure his funeral was gonna be the most dramatic by writing the music himself. what a legend.

People who already listen to classical music: "Maybe I am a -monster- villain"

i love it when the moment i finish another bit of work aligns with the dramatic, victorious climax of a piece 😂

studying literature with this is both amazing and frustrating. Because, sure, I love to feel like a 19th century misunderstood author, but at the same time, GODS DO I HATE HAVING TO MINIMIZE 4 AND A HALF TWO SIDED SHEETS OF PAPER WORTH OF CONTENT INTO JUST 1 FACE AND A HALF OF A SINGLE SHEET OF PAPER. Anyways, thanks for the playlist, it really helps

when the video starts with swan lake by pyotr fucking tchaikrosvkay I automatically subscribed no questions.

committing serial homicide at the 1893 world's fair type beat

This playlist is EVIL. I knew from the instant the first notes of Swan Lake hit, that I would love this playlist. Excellent choices!

Thank you for including Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights - such a magnificently villainous piece!

I play this while working on my homework I suddenly wanted to take a potato chip and EAT IT

eating fries never felt this dramatic before

man having an ad blocker for this playlist is just the biggest flex ever

i listen to this exact playlist whenever im writing for my dnd campaigns, my main villain sees music as the truest form of emotion and this....this is truly emotion

I wondered why a song called "Swan Lake" is so dark, then I remembered that real life swans are chaotic evil.

I didn't find this playlist, the playlist found me

Listening to this while doing history homework just hits different

Classical music the music every guy knows but doesnt talk about. To acknowledge it to a stranger is the secret sign of friendship.

“your music taste is probably so horrible” *plays Pyotr F*ckin Tchaikosky

Is it wrong to listen to this playlist while grading my students....

you know it's a very good playlist when it starts with Swan Lake op 20 act ll

Ah yes..to feel like a villain while learning economics is exactly what I needed.

Me: *puts this playlist on for studying* My brain: "Time to yet again go to far-far away lands of fantasy and embark on yet another adventure. Good luck my traveller!"

This makes me feel like the outcast child of a rich and well respected family

I LOVE Dance of the Knights so much- also Danse Macabre. Great playlist! I've been listening to it constantly!

I have just discovered this music and I fell in love... The Notes, the instruments, the emotions! It is all perfect... It truly makes me feel like a villain plotting mass destruction!

People nowadays: Mom I'm hungry People in 19th Century: "Henceforth,let it be known, birth giver, that my stomach consists of emptiness"....

The playlist for when you fail art school

The amount of pages for my archeology papers I have written to this is unreal. 10/10 helps me get the exact amount of stressed I need to be in to work properly lol

I always listen to the first couple pieces of art to a playlist to gauge how well it has been curated. This one did not disappoint, i thank you. 💯

10 minutes in and I already plan for world domination

the energy of choking on saliva while swan lake gets dramatic is truly immaculate. i suggest listening to it while sick and coughing cause you will feel like a 19th century child dying of tuberculosis. trust me.

Thank you for this...it is just the visual/auditory escape I needed right now! Beautifully done!

Thank you, it helps me fall asleep earlier because i do not look on the screen. Love each piece of this playlist!

My music teacher is absolutely chaotic evil and I once saw him grading our tests to this.

Used to be a nobody, but after listening to this I'm planning to relocate the entire city of Manhattan to my own private island.

this playlist is keeping me sane and motivated while writing my thesis, thank you!

Listening to this while painting a classicism style painting. Also really runny nose and bleeding tonsils. Really feels like Im there

I've never felt so evil while building legos, truly a master piece.

*This made me cross the road without holding my moms hand..*

Listening to this song while raining and studying accounting, I think I'm loving this.

Danse Macabre is a literal represent of a villain in the 19th century and I'm here for it.

Ive never felt so evil while doing calculus ever in my life.

People who don't listen to classical music: "Classical music is just too chill." Pyotr f*cking Tchaikovski enters the chat: "Say that again."

I used this to practice some ballet moves and holy shit.. I was on something else. Felt like the evil villain in a dramatic movie.

its like pouring your whole heart out into a song but with no words

The nerve of Tchaikosky's parents to give him the middle name Fucking. So glad he was able to rise above that and become a wonderful composer.

Things I learn from this 1. I like classical music 2. Many guys feel like villains listening to this. 3. I'm one of them.

Reading a book while the songs in this gets dramatic as so does my book is literally a life changing experience

Aggressively doing crunches to this is a mood. Would recommend.

"SAY YOUR LAST WORDS, ALGEBRA HOMEWORK!" *laughs hysterically*

Swan Lake Act II kinda makes me imagine like: a villain falls in love for the hero and finally thinks that’s fine to feel that but then they see the hero with a lover and feel betrayed and starts to kill everyone in their sight

I love putting dramatic music while I dance it makes me feel like I’m the star of the show

Listening to this playlist while studying history and music just makes it better every time

As a kid I though classical music was horrifying but now it’s just straight up beauty

"Tchaikovsky cannons are not instrument" ""yes they are and i'm going to 21 of them" "Tchaikovsky no" "Tchaikovsky YES"

This is the best playlist I'VE EVER HEARD in the youtube!!!

Title aside. This is THE Playlist

POV: You're a disgraced noble living in exile out in your family's ancestral Carpathian castle, plotting revenge against the Aristocracy and the Crown by utilizing dastardly arcane magicks and fiendishly advanced steam-based sciences.

What I learned is that villains need music to help come up with their evil plans and many ads to fuel their rage.

10:01 "Noot Noot"

lacrimosa is the villain playing innocent or sad and when the climax hits its a small smile appearing on the villains face turning slowly into an evil laugh 😈

Play this at my funeral or I'm not dying.

bold of you to assume im NOT a 19th century villain

makes me feel powerful while learning history

You automatically got me in this video with that thumbnail, and I was not disappointed
