Users have been scratching their heads trying to figure out why this type of music is in their most played lists for 2017.

Spotify users around the world have been discovering which tracks, artists and genres they have spent the most time listening to in 2017, thanks to the annual Spotify Wrapped graphics.

Not for everyone is it...

Oh, and if you are still confused, here's a wee snippet.

Pretty appropriate name tbh.
