Could Spotify Wrapped be our new digital personal journal?

For some, Spotify Wrapped is simply a way to admire your excellent musical taste (to each their own), but I wonder—could Wrapped be our new digital personal journal?

Music, in most cases, is directly tied to mood, and at least for me, I take my time finding the most fitting playlist for each day.
As of today, I’ve got four Spotify Wrapped summaries, and each one perfectly reflects my general mood for that year. I realised this last year, when my favourite song turned out to be GFY by Amyl and the Sniffers. You could say I was quite angry, and that song helped me express the words I couldn’t say out loud (those who know, know). This year, my most-listened-to song is Rock the Casbah by The Clash. The mood has improved, but no one’s dragging me out of punk anytime soon.

Favourite artist this year: Amy Winehouse.
No surprise there—it’s the same every year.
