“Spotify is trying to create a homosexual homeland,” one X user posted.
A) it’s still very gay, I’m not doing it to be nice I’m doing it because she’s hot as fuck and I want her to fuck me B) I’ve also gone down on trans women, which is also gay of me
Well, I was placed in Mexico, but I do enjoy a good ol dick in the ass, what does that make me?
Bozeman, Montana.
Fine with me, that's where Zefram Cochrane launched the first human-built warp vessel.
Me too, and I missed that reference, shame on me. However Spotify said it was because I like both rock and blues
Now it’s head-canon that Spotify called me a Trekkie! It even fits with all the rest of you who are apparently learning you’re gay
This headline broke my brain. I know what Spotify is but not "Spotify Wrapped" so I kept reading it like my Spotify had wrapped something but "Place" next to it just would not compute.
I got Portland too!! I'm bi but I mostly listen to Spotify at work where almost everyone else is gay haha
Curious what's in your top artists? I have The Midnight, Kalax, Timecop1984, and other Retrowave/Synthwave type music and got Seattle, but I live near Portland.
They placed me in Portland based on the Smoking Popes, The Jesus Lizard, and Flipper
It said people in Portland tend to be fans of those bands
You guess? Statistically, you are so Mormon, Spotify knows what kind of underwear you have on.
Bozeman, MT for me, apparently because I listen to a fair bit of Jason Isbell and other new-ish alt-country and Americana. Despite the fact that none of my top 5 artists are alt country, the rest of my listening is apparently eclectic enough that nothing else really came close.
I would have thought that having 60-70% of my listening all in a small cluster of esoteric doom-metal-related subgenres would have placed me somewhere with some sort of a metal scene, but apparently not.
It's kind of interesting to see all the weird correlations Spotify has pulled out of thin air. Apparently Fort Collins listens to a lot of Sleep Token, Brandi Carlile, and Jacob Collier.
I was also placed in Fort Collins. Despite being your musical neighbor I don't know any these bands. Wild.
Out of curiosity what bands did it use for your example?
Also do yourself a favor and listen to Sleep Token and Jacob Collier.
Specifically:
For Sleep Token: https://youtu.be/uU5vVT_Cp7c?si=8BQSDhNCxGOAHjsr or https://youtu.be/44gbx5VEYPY?si=XNASMTOMohopmIhf
Jacob Collier: https://youtu.be/IQvzX0Z3HE4?si=s_C9g57JH69gaKYj and https://youtu.be/nspqYGz-Z1s?si=yleeBaKox1Cxm8yW
My top 5 were Walk the Moon, Dr. Dre, St. Lucia, Passion Pit, and Muse. I will check out your recommendations, always down for some new tunes. Thanks!
Oh man Muse and Walk the Moon are some of my regulars. Haven't heard of St. Lucia or Passion Pit, I'll have to give those a listen.
I listen to a mix of classic rock, alt rock, blues and hip-hop and it gave me Bozeman as well.
I got Burlington! I'm not gay as far as I'm aware but whenever someone asks me what kind of music I like in the future, the answer will be "gay music".
My wife and I share an account. We got Cambridge. Good thing she came out as bi or else we would be having a strange conversation soon
Technically bi (though my tastes lean gay), I was put in Glasgow for listening to a lot of Steps and CHVRCHES... Given that Glasgow was on the running to host the Gay Olympics this year I guess it could be a close equivalent?
Seeing "Gay Olympics" made me go "wut?", so of course I clicked the link, and it immediately made sense.
I'm gay and I was somewhere in Germany. Mainly due to the black metal and one American band that is insanely popular in Germany for some reason.
So much so that they recorded their live 20 year anniversary somewhere there
Yeah, I guess I could have said their name lol. Boysetsfire. I think they're from Delaware originally. They were political melodic hardcoreish at the beginning so I still jam their first few records hard. But they have a huge following in Germany.
It never gave me a city. It worked for my partner. I'm kinda pissed I wasted my time on this.
Hahaha I was assigned Burlington by this year's wrapped. Guess I'm moving to the lesbian commune out in Vermont.
Yep, I got Burlington with The Mountain Goats, Fleet Foxes, and Julia Jacklin.
I'm a straight, cis guy but my friends often tell me I listen to 'sad boi' music so 🤷🏽.
