The playlists that Spotify wraps up the year are a popular trend every year, but lately, you’ve probably seen these weird pictures of Spotify icebergs all over Twitter or TikTok. So what is Spotify Iceberg and how can you create your own?
A new online app called Icebergify that’s making the rounds creates an “iceberg theory” image of your music tastes and favorite playlists. The iceberg theory is a popular writing technique and way of skimming information. Sharing your top five artists doesn’t tell the whole story, so icebergify will dig in and do it for you.
How to Make Your Own Spotify Iceberg
Basically, this little tool will analyze your Spotify listening history and then rank all the bands you enjoy based on their popularity. The tip of the iceberg shows all those mainstream artists. But below the water‘s surface, those lesser-known artists will begin to emerge. Then you can show your friends all the unique music you enjoy.
So if you’re listening to a band or artist no one has heard of, it’ll look relatively low, but you’ll have proof that you were a fan in the early days, before it was cool.

Now that you have a little background on this fun new Spotify social media trend, here’s how to make your own. It’s quite simple.
To get started, go to the Icebergify website on your phone or PC and then select “create your own” to get started. You will need to log into your Spotify account and this program is in no way affiliated with Spotify, so proceed with caution. Next, you’ll need to give the web app permission to dig through your playlists and listening history.
Icebergify will gather all your information, figure out what music you enjoy the most, and create a Spotify iceberg for your viewing pleasure. If any area is completely blank, don’t worry, you just didn’t have bands or artists anywhere in that depth of popularity.
