How to make a Wojackify Me meme based on your Spotify listening habits
Meme culture is making its way to Spotify as you can turn Wojack, AKA the Feels Guy, into a meme about your musical tastes.
Over the past few years, music lovers have been creating app additions to streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music which allow listeners to create digital media reflections of their music taste. We’ve seen the likes of Icebergify and the Spotify Pie Chart take over internet spaces in the last year, and the ‘Wojckify Me’ is the latest craze to trend.
So, if you’re wanting to create a meme about your listening habits to share with your friends, then here’s how to ‘Wojackify Me’ on Spotify.
The Wojack meme comes to Spotify
If you’ve been on social media, you will surely have come across the Wojack meme. The image of a bald man created on Microsoft Paint has been floating around the internet since 2009 but has seen a recent surge of popularity over the past few years.
Wojack is a reaction meme, often used to represent feelings of loneliness or melancholy.
Wojack, also known as Feels Guy, first cropped up in the I Wish I Was At Home / They Dont Know meme on December 16, 2009. This is the image which has been used for the ‘Wojackify Me’ feature on Spotify. The picture sees Wojack in a room full of people, wearing a party hat while the others dance. It has been used to represent feelings of social anxiety or isolation.
How to create a ‘Wojackify Me’
If you’re looking how to create your own Wojack meme based on your listening habits, then it’s pretty straightforward. You just need to head to Wojackify.me and allow the feature access to your Spotify account. They then retrieve data from your listening habits to create your own Wojack meme, which you can download and share with friends online.
Explaining how the feature works, its creator says on the website: “This website is build with SvelteKit and DaisyUI / Tailwind. I used an HTML canvas to set and draw text (retrieved from the Spotify API) over a background. The canvas then gets converted to an image available to download.”
Spotify users share Wojack memes based on their musical tastes
Late September saw internet users start to share their Wojackify Me images to Twitter.
Each Wojackify Me meme has the same text in each image, replaced with different tracks or information related to the user’s individual Spotify profile. It follows largely the same sentiment to the original I Wish I Was At Home/They Don’t Know meme, talking about the social group using references to your own listening tastes.
More genre apps to use
If you are a fan of the Wojackify Me feature, then you might be curious to know there are plenty more genre apps to decode your musical preferences.
