If you're like me in a highly superficial way, you likely use Spotify Premium for all of your music needs. And if you use Spotify Premium for all of your music needs, you likely know about their yearly wrap-up, this year entitled "Your 2017 Wrapped," in which they reveal who and what you listened to most this year.
Here are some things I learned about myself through my 2017 Wrapped:
1. I listen to waaaay too much Watsky.
My top five songs are all his (the video for my number one is above), and they're all from the same album. My obsession has only gotten deeper with time. Please send help.
2. My Chemical Romance is still the figurehead of my musical interests.
On the first page of my wrap-up, they proudly stand next to a list of numbers that I don't know how to react to. They're there to comfort me and tell me that it's ok to be confused by numbers because I'll always be safe in their arms.
3. I really need to branch out more.
Two-fifths of my top artists aren't even making music anymore. My top genres were Pop Punk, Screamo, Metalcore, Emo, and Modern Rock, in that order. Notice any similarities? 28 genres are not near enough.
Please leave music recommendations in the comments or I will soon shrivel and die.
4. What's my age again?
My apparent "Classic Rock phase" may or may not have a lot to do with the History of Rock class I took last semester, but the "Anthem Emo phase" is quite valid (except it's not a phase, Mom).
5. This is one of the many reasons I do not connect with the youth of today.
The fact that I have no idea who half these people are is quite telling. I am more out of touch than ever before. I'm cool with that.
