“Touch Grass” & A List 28 More Words For 2024

Your 2024 Spotify Wrapped is almost here, ready to summarize your year in music + listening obsessions, and tell you what kind of listener you are—Spotify’s version of an MBTI. Oh and one more thing, this year’s Wrapped might even remind you to "touch grass.” Just kidding, Spotify won’t remind you to touch grass, but really, you should though while you’re diving into one of your Daily Mixes. You could even take five minutes to step outside, breathe in some fresh air, and let nature hit pause on your doomscrolling.

But before you touch grass + hug a tree + save the bees, you should definitely learn what words people have been using a lot this year of 2024. And figure out whether or not you know what any of them mean. Or if you’ve used any of them in your life.
