"Oh, heart, and then it falls, and then I fall, and then I know."

This personal journey of the genesis (no pun intended) of the Dondaskip playlist echoes in the corridors of music history, where passion and creation intertwine, witnessing moments that spark revolutions of sound. Originally the playlist was birthed out of the desire to create a playlist so unique, so hip, so utterly desirable that every single song contained within the playlist was a "certified banger". The list of songs was designed to be so compelling that when one listened to it, there was no desire to skip any one track. Thus the creation of the word Dondaskip.

Throughout it's lifespan, the playlist had taken suggestions of songs and artists to be included in the ever evolving archive of stellar sound. One such suggestion is Grimes, an artist that emerged from the vibrant streets of Vancouver, capturing the raw essence and the undiluted voices of urban youth. Grimes is not just music; she is a living testament to cultural resilience, creativity, and the unique narrative of innovative music.

However, the recent determination by The Committee (that which governs what meets the standards of the Dondaskip playlist) regarding the denial of Grimes has sparked a wave of discontent and perplexity among artists and fans alike. The decision seems to overlook the contributions of pivotal figures and moments that shaped the Dondaskip playlist into the resilient and un-skippable playlist it is today. We owe it to the legacy of founders and contributors of the playlist who have inspired generations to ensure that their foundational roles are acknowledged and celebrated.

The Committee’s findings have significant influence on how the playlist is perceived and, more importantly, how future generations will understand Dondaskip's roots. It is crucial for history to reflect the authentic story of the playlist's inception and development.

This petition calls for a thorough reassessment of The Committee's determination on the particular matter relating to the song Genesis, by Grimes. Our aim is to involve experts, artists, and avid-enjoyers who embody the true ethos and narrative of the Dondaskip playlist, of which we feel Grimes is a perfect candidate. By revisiting the disputed track with a more inclusive lens, we seek to honor the voices of third parties that built this movement from the ground up, ensuring their rightful place in history alongside The Committee.

To preserve Dondaskip's integrity and celebrate its true legacy, join us in demanding a more comprehensive and accurate recognition of its origins, a grass roots movement where community suggestions sway the vote. Your signature is a step towards preserving cultural history and ensuring that the spirit of the Dondaskip playlist as a whole continues to inspire and evolve. Sign this petition today to help rewrite the narrative that rightly belongs to the pioneers of this powerful playlist.
