Spotify Wrapped Goes Rogue

On Wednesday, Spotify released its yearly Wrapped, and people used social media to share what they’ve listened to most over the preceding 330ish days. While some people apparently take Spotify Wrapped as a challenge, most are happy enough to show how much they’ve enjoyed Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Mclusky. Still, knowing that Spotify is constantly collecting your listening data is a bit unsettling and led BuzzFeed News to wonder: What activities would we least like to see Wrapped for the year? We worked with illustrator Graham Roumieu to explore the things we’d least like to know about ourselves.
