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

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 17 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I dunno, you ever sucked a dick?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months 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@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

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

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

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 16 points 10 months 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.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

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

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Hexarei@programming.dev 7 points 10 months ago

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

Bozeman, Montana.

Fine with me, that's where Zefram Cochrane launched the first human-built warp vessel.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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

I'm gay, and I got Portland

[–] agnostictofu@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Also Portland!

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 8 points 10 months ago

cool, do you know that other guy?

[–] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Oh, you're that kind of gay... 😒

[–] quotheraven404@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I got Portland too!! I'm bi but I mostly listen to Spotify at work where almost everyone else is gay haha

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".

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

Helsinki, Finland.

[–] tuxtey@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Fort Collins, Colorado for me

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Bozeman, MT for me, apparently because I listen to a fair bit of Jason Isbell and other new-ish alt-country and Americana. Despite the fact that none of my top 5 artists are alt country, the rest of my listening is apparently eclectic enough that nothing else really came close.

I would have thought that having 60-70% of my listening all in a small cluster of esoteric doom-metal-related subgenres would have placed me somewhere with some sort of a metal scene, but apparently not.

[–] I_Comment_On_EVERYTHING@lemmings.world 4 points 10 months ago (4 children)

It's kind of interesting to see all the weird correlations Spotify has pulled out of thin air. Apparently Fort Collins listens to a lot of Sleep Token, Brandi Carlile, and Jacob Collier.

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

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

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

[–] dumples@kbin.social 8 points 10 months 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

[–] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 7 points 10 months 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?

[–] Raz@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

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

[–] ShunkW@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months 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

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

Edit: Nope, not gay unfortunately.

[–] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Provo, USA?

[–] thiccdiccnicc@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

This guy listens to only imagine dragons and neon trees

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

[–] mriormro@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months 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 🤷🏽.

[–] RanchOnPancakes@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Pittsburgh

[–] seaQueue@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I see the gay agenda is proceeding as planned

[–] pedestrian@links.hackliberty.org 5 points 10 months ago

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

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Vancouver.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

San Francisco. Apparently progressive trance is popular there? Idk

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months 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
