About
Spotify Wrapped Sound Towns refers to a feature in the 2023 Spotify Wrapped that gave Spotify users a city location whose citizens resembled their own music taste. Many memes and parodies surfaced from the feature, predominantly centering on Burlington, Vermont (Burlington, USA), Berkeley, California (Berkeley, USA) and Cambridge, Massachusetts (Cambridge, USA) which were seemingly the most common sound towns. Many Burlington memes surfaced from the discourse, humorously likening the city to a utopia for LGBTQ+ people or basic white guys and girls.
Origin
On November 29th, 2023, Spotify Wrapped's 2023 edition was released for all users.[1] As a part of the 2023 edition, Spotify implemented a feature called "sound towns" which assigned the user a city that resembled their music taste based on the music taste of the city's residents (example image shown below).
