A year in lists, again

The algorithm's report card. I looked. I rolled my eyes. I still screenshotted one of the graphics.

Spotify Wrapped, as a music object

MINUTECRITIC · Dec 4, 2025

Wrapped is not an album. It is a branded recap of what you already did, designed to be posted. I participate like a hypocrite and then I go back to the actual records. The year-end lists from humans are still more useful, even when they are snobby.

If this is how you found a new artist, fine. If this is how you talk about music, we have work to do. Score is for the object. The object is an ad.

Fun for a day. Not listening. Not a critic. Definitely not your personality.
