It’s that time of the year again—when the internet collectively braces for the emotional rollercoaster that is Spotify Wrapped, with memes, of course. For those living under a rock (or, worse, using Apple Music), Spotify Wrapped is the annual summary of your top tracks, artists, and genres that dominated your headphones throughout the year. And 2024 is shaping up to be just as big, with Spotify dropping tantalizing teasers that have the internet buzzing with excitement.
And expectedly, fans are jumping ahead by meme-ing and retweeting about their embarrassing listening habits to wild speculations about the Wrapped surprises. From mocking that one depressing song you played on repeat to introducing you to obscure genre names you didn’t even know existed, Spotify Wrapped season has truly become a cultural phenomenon—a celebration of music, memes, and all the guilty pleasures we’d rather forget.
Spotify Wrapped 2024: Prepare for the ultimate roast of your listening habits with these memes
The anticipation is real—and hilarious
With Spotify Wrapped 2024 expected to drop anytime now, the internet has already begun to fill with memes poking fun at what the year-end review might reveal. Spotify, never one to shy away from teasing its user base, has been hinting at this year’s Wrapped with cryptic messages on its social platforms, including,
“This year contained multitudes. So will your Wrapped.”
Users immediately ran with the phrase, sparking a flood of memes about the chaotic variety of music tastes 2024 might expose—from hardcore metal to that oddly soothing whale sounds playlist you had on loop during study sessions.
One viral meme circulating on X (formerly Twitter) imagines Spotify’s Wrapped as a personal attack: “Spotify Wrapped is about to tell me that my top genre was ‘post-apocalyptic folk’, and I’ll just have to accept that.” Another fan joked, “Me opening Spotify Wrapped only to realize I spent 50 hours listening to ‘lo-fi beats to relax/study to’ because of ONE all-nighter in January.” The truth hurts—but it also makes for incredible meme fodder.
What's new in Wrapped 2024?
So, what can fans expect from this year’s Wrapped besides a healthy dose of meme-worthy introspection? According to reports, Spotify Wrapped will continue its tradition of offering personalized rundowns, but with a few upgrades. Just like in previous years, users will receive a breakdown of their top artists, songs, genres, and podcasts. And yes, your "guilty pleasure" song will undoubtedly make the list, possibly alongside that obscure indie artist you swear no one else listens to.
Wrapped 2024 may also feature new interactive experiences and Spotify’s trademark end-of-year quizzes, where users can guess their most-played tracks and get hilariously surprised when it's something unexpected (we’re looking at you, hyperpop phase). There's also speculation that a concert feature might be included, giving users a chance to reflect on the live shows they streamed or attended throughout the year, expanding Wrapped beyond just music to live performances.
Fans’ memes reflect the music madness
This year’s Wrapped teasers have sparked some of the funniest memes we’ve seen in Wrapped history. Users are quick to meme their shameful guilty pleasure songs that are likely to appear, like one joke that read, “If Spotify Wrapped calls me out for having ‘Let It Go’ from Frozen as my most-streamed song again, we’re fighting.” Another meme hilariously anticipates the release date, reading: “Me pretending to be shocked when Spotify Wrapped tells me that I listened to Taylor Swift for 5,000 minutes straight.”
The diversity in music taste is a recurring theme in many memes, as well. One popular meme shows a divided brain, with one side dedicated to ‘emo punk’ and the other side to ‘sleepy jazz’—a visual representation of how bizarrely eclectic our music habits can become over a year. Another favorite is the perennial classic: users dread the judgment from friends when they share their Wrapped, and that one song from a cringe phase comes back to haunt them. But that’s the beauty of Spotify Wrapped: it’s an unfiltered snapshot of our year in music, and that honesty, however embarrassing, is exactly what fans love about it.
