X Users Build AI Jukeboxes of Old Bollywood Songs
People on X were remembering old Bollywood songs from the 1990s.
They used a special AI helper called Runable to make music websites that look like jukeboxes.
The first websites played the kind of songs you might hear in an old Indian barbershop.
One user, Yash Bhardwaj, helped start the trend with his post.
Soon, other people made playlists for truck drivers, sweet shops, and ghazal lovers.
Some made playlists with songs from southern India and the northeast.
Others made devotional playlists of songs for gods like Ganesh.
Even a person from Morocco made a playlist called Kassita, which means cassette.
Runable turns a picture and an idea into a fun website with music.
The trend let people share and enjoy the songs they loved when they were young.
X users are building jukebox websites with AI-generated, themed playlists of old Bollywood songs using the Runable platform.
The trend started with salon-focused playlists, with Yash Bhardwaj among the first to share a jukebox featuring songs from Khuddar and Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke.
The trend expanded to playlists for truck drivers, mithai shops, ghazals, Tamil and Telugu music, the Seven Sisters region, and devotional songs for gods like Ganesh.
X user Suryansh created a tutorial explaining how to make a playlist on the platform.
A Moroccan user joined the trend with a cassette-themed playlist called 'Kassita', inspired by Yash Bhardwaj.
