A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Wrap is the end of filming so they do it at the end of the year. Why would they move it to the beginning of the year? Also ppl wrap presents in December. Jan not so much.
Because wrapped summarizes your calendar year. It happens is early December and ignores a whole month.
The game awards does this too which creates a lame duck season. But they at least are trying to sell games for Christmas.
December can skew the wrap though. People will listen to more holiday music in December, they might use their spotify for Xmas parties, while wrapping presents, or just listen to it because 'tis the season. Suddenly Mariah Carey is contending for a top 10 artist and holiday music could be one of your top genres.
So they just ignore December altogether, not even rolling it into the next year?
So it isn't really about the year, just 11 months.
That's pretty much the year. Like they will have to cut off the data collection at some point. Because, well, when the wrapped Playlist comes out, you're probably going to listen to that Playlist a few times, to recap your year, which would drive more data for those songs.
I dunno, just seems like a silly thing to worry about. "Oh my gosh they only captured 11 months of my listening! How will I know that I went from Taylor Swift non-stop for 11 months and then nothing but Mayhem for all of December!!" It's a personal record of what you listened to throughout the year, and its kind of fun to see, but it has no actual bearing on your music taste. You still like what you like.
Pointing out that a name is misleading is not worrying about it.
Wait, the Game Awards goes purely by the calendar year? A game that releases after the show at the very end of 2023 wouldn't be eligible to appear in 2024's show?
I was wrong. If they are released after mid November, they fall to the following year.
Though the farther your release is from the award show the less buzz it might get due to people forgetting. Especially in a jam packed year and some of the voting done by the masses.
How fucking dare you
