With a brat summer behind us and Chappell Roan taking the world by storm, this year’s music scene has been queerer than ever. After a – frankly unacceptable – long wait, Spotify Wrapped 2024 has finally landed on our screens with new creative ways of calling people queer.

In a world where we kind of hate big-tech firms tracking our every movement, Spotify Wrapped is truly the only exception with its sparkly statistics about our music tastes. We let it peer into our soul and bare our deepest and darkest moods for the whole world to see.

In 2024, Spotify Wrapped dropped a few new features, including ‘Your Music Evolution’, which documents exactly what sort of crises we went through throughout the year in the form of wildly titled musical phases.

 

 

The regular ‘Top Artist’ feature has changed slightly, now showing a ‘Longest Listening Streak’, so that everyone can witness the exact extent of our obsessions.

 

 

While the new features have caused hilarious reactions on the internet, some listeners mourn the loss of the ‘Sound Town’ section of last year’s Spotify Wrapped, which matched fans to a city based on their listening and artist affinity. Dubbed the new ‘Am I Gay? Quiz’, the feature appeared to place LGBTQ+ users into three specific US cities more than anywhere else.

 

 

However, Spotify seems to have found new ways of calling listeners queer with its creative names for listeners’ ‘phases’ or ‘seasons’. From “Pink Pilates Princess Roller Skating Pop season” to “Witchy Strut Indie moment”, some have suggested that these names must have been pitched by some incredibly bored bisexual interns.

 

 

 

This year, the highly-anticipated music statistics came a bit late, with fans lamenting the delay and obsessively checking their Spotify to make sure they hadn’t missed it. Now that it’s finally here, don’t be shy and drop your Spotify Wrapped in the comments.
