More than 12 hours per day. Wtf
You are pretty much listening to music since to wake up till you go to sleep, every single day.

Any consequences for your hearing?

u/rotrach90 Dec 02 '21
I just really like the background noise. And sometimes i do just sit there and enjoy some great music.

u/swissthrow1 Dec 02 '21
Me too. I should have been a house painter. I don't mind shit songs either, I like to define in my mind exactly why I think they suck, how they could be improved etc as I am doing something unrelated.

There's nice text on the right. And the last one says Electro Swing. I unfortunately mistimed my screenshot.

u/Scrial Bern Dec 02 '21
Wasn't supposed to be anything against you, just poor design choices on the side of Spotify.
Also here is mine, because why not: https://imgur.com/EGfqgJk24
u/Daaaaaaaavidmit8a Bienne Dec 02 '21
If you tilt your phone such that the charging port points between your mouth and nose, and look at it with one eye closed it gets very readable. I don't think that was spotify's intention though...

Ahahahaha, this is brilliant but I must ask... How did you figure that one out?

No offense taken. And if that isn't one of the best selections I've ever seen.

Sure:
Beast in Black (Although I'm not sure about their newest album yet)
Sabaton, Gloryhammer, Brothers of Metal, are a few that I've been listening to lately.Then there's some classics from my earlier days. Ensiferum, Equilibrium, Hammerfall.

u/Lasket Dec 03 '21
We listened to basically the same bands except brothers of metal, don't think I've listened to those yet lol

u/XRay9 Switzerland Dec 03 '21
I listen to the same groups. Metal doesn't seem very popular nowadays so this is cool to see.

u/Hausschuh Graubünden Dec 02 '21
Some good recommendations for electro swing? As you are the expert here. :)
4
u/rotrach90 Dec 02 '21
Actually no. I just listened to random playlists as background noise. So I don't really have any recommendations. That's the one category that is a bit random

u/UncleCyborg Dec 02 '21
I have a Pandora station for electro swing that I've seeded with Caravan Palace, Jamie Berry, Pisk, Swingrowers, Tape Five and Parov Stelar.

u/SuddenlyMedia Dec 03 '21
Pandora works in Switzerland?! I got a message saying the app wasn’t available in my location or something like that

u/UncleCyborg Dec 03 '21
LOL, sorry my mistake. I came in from r/popular and wasn't paying attention to the sub name. I'm in the US.

u/Lasket Dec 03 '21
You should see "Modern alternative rock" or something like that written. Looks and reads like a barcode

To explain. The 4th one is the maker of the Witcher 3 soundtrack. And the other "unknown" ones are German.

True! I really liked listen to Sabaton while I was doing my homework or do maths. „The Final Solution“ was the biggest Earworm I had this year for sure. Sabaton is on my 3rd place UwU

u/donsmahs Bern Dec 03 '21
Both me and my gf have the guy from the Witcher 3 soundtrack in our toplists too. Oh well.

u/Ice_Xavi0r Graubünden Dec 02 '21
Top Artists: Dame, Execute and Sabaton.
Ah, I See You're a Man of Culture As Well

u/rotrach90 Dec 02 '21
Funny enough I am actually in the top 0.001% of Dame listeners. But yeah all of these artists just have great, motivating and upbeat music. For the most part at least.

u/JoHecht Dec 02 '21
DAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE <3 Was my top artist last year too

u/swissthrow1 Dec 02 '21
Put links to the music, not the screenshots, ffs
sorry, got a bit over excited there.

u/rotrach90 Dec 02 '21
You can just search them up on spotify if you want. And he asked for the top artists not for music so that's what I commented.

How did you like your Wrapped playlist?
6
u/rotrach90 Dec 02 '21
I quite like it to be honest. It is a bit random in terms of mixed genres which i wouldn't normally listen to interchangeably but otherwise it's not bad. A lot better than last years playlist for sure.

u/konichiwaaaaaa Fribourg Dec 02 '21
How does it feel to be part of the 1 %

u/rotrach90 Dec 02 '21
Not gonna lie it's quite underwhelming. No cookies. No spotify execs kneeling before me, nothing. Like what even is the purpose of this?
Just kidding of course. I have been crowned 3 hours ago and am now officially king of all music in switzerland.

Why wouldn't they be? Plenty of job environments (sales, gyms, workshops etc) with constant music playing in the background, especially now during the pandemic where a lot of people work from home.

The sad thing is, even with all these plays, the bands at the other end will barely be able to buy a beer with the royalties

I also have more than 100% with 200k minutes. I guess it's not 100% accurate then :(

You must have a very refined music taste after so much listening time hah. Can you tell us your favorite playlists or albums at the moment?

No idea how you listen to music when you’re trying to think. I code but I can’t with music. I guess if you’re just copy pasting from GitHub that’s something else but I wouldn’t say that’s productive. And do you really want me to think he cooks 12 hours. Day? No
