I'm pretty sure I'd know already if I was gay.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I dunno, you ever sucked a dick?

[–] captainlezbian 36 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Yeah but it was attached to a woman so I’m still gay

Well, I was placed in Mexico, but I do enjoy a good ol dick in the ass, what does that make me?

[–] elbarto777 6 points 1 year ago

If you get it every time you want it, that makes you a happy person.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Inconclusive. We need more data on Mexico's listening stats before we can truly say.

I was placed in Berkeley. I'm not gay but maybe my taste in music is.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It gave me Burlington. #1 listened artist last year: The Beastie Boys. I sometimes think its less artificial intelligence and more a random number picker.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

My top genre was "indie québécois" and it placed me in Québec, so it's at least smart enough to figure that out.

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Basically it's a year in review of your Spotify listening

I'm gay, and I got Portland

[–] agnostictofu 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

cool, do you know that other guy?

[–] DontTreadOnBigfoot 7 points 1 year ago

Oh, you're that kind of gay... 😒

[–] quotheraven404 4 points 1 year ago

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".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (10 children)

Fort Collins, Colorado for me

I was placed in Salt Lake City, Utah. I guess I'm Mormon?

[–] Burn_The_Right 5 points 1 year ago

You guess? Statistically, you are so Mormon, Spotify knows what kind of underwear you have on.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Seeing "Gay Olympics" made me go "wut?", so of course I clicked the link, and it immediately made sense.

[–] ShunkW 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

It never gave me a city. It worked for my partner. I'm kinda pissed I wasted my time on this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well let's go find out if I'm gay.

Edit: Nope, not gay unfortunately.

[–] RanchOnPancakes 5 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Hahaha I was assigned Burlington by this year's wrapped. Guess I'm moving to the lesbian commune out in Vermont.

[–] mriormro 5 points 1 year ago

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 🤷🏽.

[–] seaQueue 5 points 1 year ago

I see the gay agenda is proceeding as planned

[–] agent_flounder 4 points 1 year ago

San Francisco. Apparently progressive trance is popular there? Idk

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Mine put me in Pittsburg. I've never even been there! But I can take a guess as to why... I like CKY 🤣

I have an account that was used for very limited streaming to a couple of artists. Spotify placed it at Estonia for some reason. None of the artists I listened to are even close to the general area.

[–] cm0002 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's not based on the artist's locations, but where the listeners for the artists are.

One of the top artists you're listening to prob has a lot of listeners in Estonia
