This week while everyone was enjoying their Spotify Wrapped 2021, your aunt was probably flexing her generic Pandora Wrapped to her friends on Facebook in between heated political debates with twice-removed cousins you’ve never met. Some of the top songs from Pandora’s playlists were Let it Be, Bohemian Rhapsody, Good Vibrations, and Tucker Carlson’s cover of WAP. Many of the posts included the listeners “aura”, which was described as chill, happy, energetic, or having slight undertones of racism.
One user named Agatha, however, was trying to relive her youth as she posted that all of her top five songs were Doja Cat, to which her friends and family pleaded with her to stop and uninvited her from Christmas. Over the holidays if any Aunt asks you to see their Pandora wrapped filled with Meat Loaf and Lynyrd Skynyrd, just counter with your Spotify Wrapped filled with post-grunge post-rock alternative metalcore gospel rap and show them that yes, your music taste is meant to be a stand-in for your oppressively boring personality. As you decide if you should join the Spotify and Pandora Wrapped screenshots flooding the internet, just remember that nobody cares about your music tastes, or you in general.
