Reddit users first unearthed these new YouTube Music filters, which are reportedly available on both the web and app versions of YouTube Music.

Samples
In a separate development, YouTube introduced “Samples” last month, a feature that offers personalized feeds of short music video segments to aid users in discovering new music. Powered by YouTube Music’s extensive library of music videos, Samples enables users to easily add songs to their collection, share them with friends, create playlists, initiate radio stations, watch full videos, explore album pages, or craft their own Shorts. For artists, the Samples tab offers a novel avenue to connect with new fans and foster a community on YouTube.
What’s More?
Aside from “Cry,” YouTube Music will soon include additional mood filters, such as Romance, Party, Feel Good, and Sleep. These filters aim to curate playlists that resonate with users’ emotions. You can discover these playlists conveniently within the app, accessible through “Mixed for You” and “From Your Library.” They will join familiar carousels like “Listen Again” and “Similar To.”
