I love that I can passively use it. It tracks my listening habits but I can pop in whenever! I haven’t used it all year bht I’m still excited to see my stats.

i love airbuds bc its so wholesome to see what everyone is listening to at the same time... it's like wow we're living different lives and doing different things but we're listening to the same song!!!

Tracking your listening habits

“woman says ‘i love this song’ after every song on her own playlist” (core) i always notice music; music is what feelings sound like. because it has to, the world will change—and people will too. naturally, one of my favorite parts of the year is between late november and early december: spotify wrapped season. keeping track of people’s listening habits (to figure out whose allowed on aux) has always been a nosy pleasure of mine. i never want to lose connections to change; music allows me to sever those relations—“you listen to catherine wheel?”… “i didn’t know you were into fiona apple too!”—it’s a great way to form bonds. music connects people. i for one relish in this understanding. i, unfortunately, am an impatient person and cannot wait until the end of the year. i take this ngenart quiz monthly to record my own listening analytics as i continue to delve deeper into this interest, and share them casually in hopes that others will join in.

becoming increasingly DISILLUSIONED by spotify wrapped

i love looking at my music listening stats bc i love a pattern recognition moment but i've become indifferent to spotify wrapped for sometime now for various reasons. seeing all those layoffs happen right after last year’s wrapped left a bad taste in my mouth and with how much the company is leaning into generative ai, i wouldn’t be suprised if gen ai is being used to supplement the missing labor for wrapped this year. music is not as fun without the humans. i also dislike the culture that slowly formed around it. the idea of adjusting your listening habits so your results are “presentable” to your social media following is wild to me…why don’t you just…enjoy the music? i don’t know, people hold it on some weird pedestal. this is honestly tied into my increase in grievances with the app as a whole. if i didn’t amass 40+ playlists in the last ten years or listen to thousands of songs from an array of places, people and time periods, i would’ve left altogether. but alas, i am here. and i wont pretend i dont still look at my wrapped results when they drop. anyways, last.fm is more accurate and i don’t have to wait yearly for those stats.
