Spotify Wrapped 2023: Are you a vampire or a shapeshifter? Fans go wild for new ‘listening characters’ and their meaning
SPOTIFY Wrapped has a brand new feature for 2023 and fans can’t get enough of it.
The popular annual music round-up has introduced “Me in 2023” which puts people into characters based on their listening habits and tastes.
There are 12 listening characters available with a description on each, such as the Vampire for those who want to “embrace a little darkness” or the Shapeshifter for people who move from one artist to the next very quickly.
Fans have been reacting to the new feature on social media.
“My Spotify wrapped called me a vampire and I’m not sure how to feel about it,” one user wrote.
“This is what Spotify Wrapped looks like for the people with perfect music taste (Time Traveller btw),” another commented.
“why did my spotify wrapped just call me a cyclops???” another said.
What are the Spotify Wrapped characters?
There are 12 characters in total.
Here are each of the descriptions from Spotify.
Vampire
Spotify says that the Vampires like to embrace a little “darkness” in their music.
This means you listen to emotional, atmospheric tunes more than most.
Alchemist
The Alchemists are defined as those that like to create their own playlists.
Time traveller
The Time Travellers are music fans who like to go back in time listening to older tracks on repeat.
Cyclops
Spotify describes the Cyclops as “loyal and devoted” when it comes to music.
This means you tend to focus on one genre in particular.
Luminary
The Luminary folks among us play the “light, upbeat” music more than others.
Mastermind
The Mastermind is for those who listen to a wide range of different genres.
Roboticist
Spotify says the Roboticist is aimed at people who “like to hit play, kick back, and let the clever algorithms work their magic, track after track”.
Shapeshifter
The Shapeshifter is a listener who is “head over heels for an artist” then moves on.
“Some say it’s erratic. We call it eclectic,” Spotify says.
Collector
Your taste is “sublime” according to Spotify.
You mostly listen to your own playlists.
Hunter
The Hunter is described as a person who is always on the look out for new favourites.
You also skip tracks more than other listeners, apparently.
Fanatic
Fanatics are those who have a favourite and “never let go”.
Your top artist makes up more than a third of your listening, too.
Hypnotist
The Hypnotist is those with “absolute” concentration.
“You like to play albums all the way through, from the opening track to the final note,” Spotify says.
How to find my Spotify Wrapped character
You can find your Spotify Wrapped character in the main slide feature.
It’s on the third to last slide.
