Culture Next: Spotify's annual global trend report
Every year, we check in with Zs and millennials to hear how they’re shaping the future and what it means for advertisers on Spotify. Welcome to our annual Culture Next reports.
The 2023 report
In the global digital age, culture is constantly growing, morphing, and being redefined. It never stays the same—and anyone, anywhere, can influence its course. So what does that mean for advertisers? For this fifth iteration of Culture Next we reexamined the habits, behaviors and opinions of Zs and their millennial counterparts who drive culture on Spotify.
The 2022 report
Gen Zs took center stage in our 2022 Culture Next report. We explore how they’re using audio to redefine culture, fandom—and themselves. Check out the top trends and insights from the report.
The 2021 report
Last year was a cultural wake-up call. This year is a cultural rebirth. See how millennials and Gen Zs are creating, curating, and experiencing culture in real time on Spotify. Get the full story in our third annual Culture Next report.
