Spotify should still be able to realise when something completely outside of the normal is played. Maybe as a different listening mode, eg "Kids party" - and keep them separate.

Sometimes breaking the flow with something else the user enjoyed, for variety, keeps the user more engaged.

But this behavior should be controllable by the user.
