<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Mark Zuckerberg is feeling nostalgic. On the 22nd anniversary of Facebook, he shared an old meme of himself from his Harvard days and posted a playlist called &ldquo;2004 Facebook coding jams.&rdquo; He said these were the songs he listened to again and again while building Facebook in the early days. The playlist has rock, emo, and electronic tracks that were popular in the 2000s.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The music choice gives a simple but interesting look at his mood, motivation, and work style when he was a young student working on what later became a global tech giant.</span></p>
<h2><span style=”color: #ba372a;”><strong>Mark Zuckerberg Playlist Shows His Early Facebook Work Style</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The Mark Zuckerberg playlist has only five songs, but each one is high energy and emotional. One of them is &ldquo;Headstrong&rdquo; by Trapt. It is loud, fast, and full of fighting spirit.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The lyrics are about facing challenges and not backing down. That matches the story of a young programmer trying to launch a new social platform from a college dorm.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Another song is &ldquo;Like a Stone&rdquo; by Audioslave. This track is slower and more thoughtful. It talks about faith, life, and death. Over the years, Zuckerberg has spoken about religion and long-term human progress, so this choice feels meaningful.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>These songs suggest he liked music that kept him focused and emotionally charged while working long hours.</span></p>
<h2><span style=”color: #ba372a;”><strong>Facebook Anniversary Playlist Reflects Builder Mindset</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The Facebook anniversary playlist also includes &ldquo;The Reason&rdquo; by Hoobastank. This is a soft rock song about accepting mistakes and wanting to improve.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>It is about personal change and emotional honesty. Around that time in his life, Zuckerberg had just met his future wife, so the song fits the phase he was in.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Another track is &ldquo;In the End&rdquo; by Linkin Park, a song about struggle and effort. It talks about trying hard even when results are uncertain. Startup life often feels like that.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The last song is &ldquo;Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger&rdquo; by Daft Punk. Its lyrics sound like a simple work motto, keep improving and keep going. That same spirit can still be seen today at Meta, the company Zuckerberg now leads.</span></p>
