Spotify's Listening Age: What It Says About You

Spotify's yearly Wrapped feature has become a big deal for music fans. It shows users their top artists, songs, and genres from the past year. But this time, it added something new: a "listening age. " This number tells users how old Spotify thinks they are based on the music they listen to. Some people were surprised by their listening age. For example, Charli XCX, who is in her 30s, has a listening age of 75. This is because she listens to a lot of music from the 1960s. On the other hand, Gracie Abrams, who is in her 20s, has a listening age of 14. This is because she listens to a lot of new music. People have been sharing their listening ages on social media. Some are proud of their ages, while others are confused. Some people even joked about "listening age gap relationships. " But how does Spotify calculate this listening age? Spotify says it looks at the music you listen to the most. It then compares this to the music that people your age usually listen to. If you listen to a lot of music from a certain time period, Spotify thinks you might have been a teenager during that time. Some people think that Spotify is just trying to get people to talk about its platform. But others think it's a fun way to learn more about themselves. Either way, it's clear that Spotify Wrapped is more than just a list of songs. It's a way for people to express themselves and connect with others.
