When Spotify dropped their 2020 Wrapped feature last week, the internet responded with a crap ton of memes. While some of the memers churned out funny and self-deprecating content, other internet users were more interested in roasting people who were excited to share their listening statistics. As is often the case with any kind of  backlash, the haters are now facing their own backlash in the form of a Twitter meme. The first viral instance came from Twitter user @AlexJackHowell, who eloquently shared the following: 

Bitches be posting "nobody cares about your Spotify wrapped" and then post a pic of their baby ???

The tweet has since inspired many copycats, with men really bearing the brunt of the social media burns. The memes go after the hypocrisy of people who claim it's boring to share Spotify Wrapped - by mocking other dull social media habits like posting their fishing catch or their running routes. We've put together some of the best examples, but here's a warning: there's probably at least one that applies to you.

Judging by our timelines, it's definitely that time of the year again. You know, the time when Spotify bestows its users with the year's oft-embarassing listening statistics. And for some reason pretty much everyone feels the need to share these streaming habits with their Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook followers. We're kind of of the mind that, um, newsflash, your friends probably don't care about your top song of the year. But it's 2020 and we'll let people have their fun. 

People are definitely having fun with this year's "Wrapped" on Twitter. The site is absolutely brimming with funny reaction memes and self-deprecating music-related humor. Though a lot of the jokes are self-owns regarding, say, listening to songs from Glee over and over again, there are some memes that employ a bit more wit - or make playful fun of Apple Music users. Both of which we're definitely here for. 

We've put together our favorite reactions in this here gallery, but you can find more on Twitter. If you're curious about your own Spotify Wrapped, just follow this link. And make sure you're in a safe and judgement-free zone. These things are sensitive. 

Old habits die hard, and according to this new Twitter meme, you don't have to be in high school to roast people over music. And what kind of people does Twitter just love to troll and meme? Politicians. The latest victim is Mayor Pete Buttigieg, one of several Democratic candidates vying for the 2020 presidency. 

The meme uses an April 2019 photo of Buttigieg making a radio appearance, but in the last month the photo has been used by Twitter users to mock the dude musically. Folks are pairing the photo of Mayor Pete in lime green headphones with "bad" or absurd artists. It's a low-effort meme, but the site seems to be enjoying them. And Bernie Sanders even makes an appearance in a few iterations. We're not going to pretend that the meme is doing anything revolutionary, but we're having fun with it. It's definitely more creative than people calling each other names!

It may only be the beginning of December, but Spotify decided to release their annual "Wrapped" feature yesterday. The "year in review" offers users some insight regarding their listening habits - favorite artists, favorite songs, etc. This year, the streaming company went the extra mile to give us data for every year since their inception. While it's a fun and enlightening tool, our social media feeds have since been clogged with people sharing their results. Who's gonna tell 'em that people don't want to see that on their timeline? To combat the boring and banal Wrapped posts, resourceful content creators and Twitter users have been hard at work meme-ing the phenomenon and throwing shade on Twitter. The shade is way more entertaining than the Wrapped data. See for yourself.

Twitter: a platform for the bored, the solipsistic, and, sometimes, the very funny. These musings range from basic to astute, but they'll all help distract you from reality.

This meme of a little Vietnamese girl tracing her cat on a piece of paper needs little explanation - it's the perfect way to diss on all the haters and the fakers out there.

We all fit into a societal mold of some sort, whether we like it or not, and that's okay! Embrace the stereotypes and bask in these humorous starter pack memes!
