My perfect playlist got hijacked by a weird algorithm glitch last Tuesday

I was having a great morning, listening to my 'Chill Vibes' mix on Spotify that I've carefully curated over 3 years. Out of nowhere, after a Phoebe Bridgers song, it started blaring aggressive German techno, then a kids' nursery rhyme, then a political podcast clip. It felt like the app had a total breakdown and just started throwing random audio at me. Has anyone in Chicago had their music apps freak out like this recently?

Which Phoebe Bridgers track was playing right before the glitch started?

Check if the glitch was in the song title itself.

Check if the glitch was in the song title itself" is a wild idea. My buddy swears his streaming app once showed a song as just a string of random symbols for a full minute.
