Decoding Your Spotify Wrapped: A Guide to Musical Labels
Spotify Wrapped arrived, and with it, the inevitable judgment. Not from strangers or critics, but from ourselves. Did our listening habits reflect our desired online persona? Is our musical taste worthy of boasting, or should we quietly delete the app for the remainder of November? The truth is, there’s no right or wrong, only a spectrum of Spotify Wrapped personalities. Here’s a glimpse into some of the most common musical selves you might encounter this season.
The Dare We Say… Musos
These individuals exhibit an adventurous palate for sound. Heralding from every corner of SoundCloud and the deepest Digital crates. Their Wrapped is a kaleidoscope of obscure genres. Their playlist features post-acid techno from Kazakhstan followed by a touch of sean-nós, then, curiously, a deep dive into a recently reborn Tyler, the Creator obsession
They probably named their Spotify accounts with a single word or a dramatic emoji sequence, their Wrapped is the kind that makes everyone else ask, “What even is that?”
We won’t lie—the sheer breadth of musical knowledge in this category can be intimidating. These are the folks who never play the radio, who’ve wattage-d every other’s recommendations into oblivion. Let them take control of the aux, it might just unlock a whole new world. But they’re not always fun, and although welcoming in theory, their taste can be incredibly specific.
Never, repeat never let them take control of the tunes at a party.
Ugh, Britney Spears’ full discography deep cuts? We assume.
You can kiss "Call Me Al" followed by "I Gotta Feeling" goodbye while they’re DJing.
The Hopelessly Devoted: The Mortos and Popettes
Now that weve established a sense of societal pressure to present a "cool" Spotify Wrapped, meeting expectations and even exceeding possibilityes. For some, Billie Eilish’s slower tracks become unhealthy obsessions, married with fanatically updated playlists. A tale as old as time. A romanticized vision unfolded, presented in numerical format, revealing a genuine love story amidst all those streaming giants—except the playlist now belongs to Jonathan, singular, and the “Mortos” are showing new tracks, they vowed to steer clear of overly sentimental Spotify Wrapped—and while this might be a little self-deprecating, maybe Jonathan and the “Mortos” sound a lot more death metal and lining theme
There’s no shame in a pop princess taking center stage.

## Decoding Your Spotify Wrapped Personality
**Interviewer:** Welcome back to the show! Today, we’re diving deep into the world of Spotify Wrapped – that annual tradition that both celebrates our musical taste and fuels our anxieties about it. Joining us is Alex Reed, music enthusiast and self-proclaimed Spotify Wrapped expert.
Alex Reed, thank you for being here.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me!
**Interviewer:** So, Spotify Wrapped is out, and people are already dissecting their listening habits. We saw a really interesting breakdown online categorizing different Spotify Wrapped “personalities”. One that stood out was “The Dare We Say… Musos.” Can you tell us more about them?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely! These are your musical adventurers, the ones digging deep into obscure genres and unearthing hidden gems. Their playlists are a wild ride – think post-acid techno from Kazakhstan, sean-nós singing, and suddenly a Tyler, the Creator deep dive. [[1](https://stephen.fun/taste-spotify-wrapped-explained/)]
**Interviewer:**
That sounds incredibly eclectic! But is it always enjoyable listening?
**Alex Reed:** That’s the thing – their knowledge is impressive, and they can definitely introduce you to new music you wouldn’t have found otherwise. But they’re not always the best for party playlists. Imagine a night dominated by Britney Spears’ deep cuts instead of the usual crowd-pleasers.
**Interviewer:** (Laughs) I can see how that might be a bit too niche for some occasions.
**Alex Reed:** Exactly! It’s all about balance. Wrapped can be a fun way to reflect on your musical journey, but it shouldn’t dictate your taste or make you feel self-conscious.
**Interviewer:** That’s a great point. Thank you so much for sharing your insights, Alex Reed! We’ll be right back after a short break.
