Meanwhile, Spotify’s Blend feature (a shared playlist between friends) is primarily used by Gen Z users while this gen is also the most-engaged audience during Spotify’s annual Wrapped campaign. Fortunately, Spotify already skews young compared to Apple’s and Amazon’s music platforms, and has attracted young podcast listeners by doing deals with social media influencers like Alex Cooper (host of the Call Her Daddy podcast) and Addison Rae. Spotify is listening, and sees TikTok as an opportunity, not just a competition when it comes to reaching the next gen. As TikTok continues taking over young people’s social media consumption (YPulse’s social media research shows TikTok use among Gen Z grew from 35% in January 2020 to 64% in October 2021), platforms have started thinking about how to reach the next gen by mimicking some of TikTok’s features, like creating their own short-form video tool and recruiting creators to use them. Does Spotify have a Gen Z problem? The music listening platform thinks not.
