That Time Of Year

When all your social & streaming accounts try to quantify you

First off the blocks was Spotify...



And for some healthy, satirical, lacerating judgement, try the 'Judge My Spotify' app on The Pudding's website...

Your Spotify was 90s-new-age-80s-prom-love-your-npr-tote bad. Thank your obsessions with Mike Oldfield, new wave, and Fiona Apple for that.

Based on your listening habits, I can also tell you your Spotify was... movie-soundtrack bad; please-read-my-manuscript bad; manic-pixie-dream-girl bad; nice-guys-finish-last-soft-rock bad; maximally-pretentious-minimalism bad

Unfortunately that's not all I learned:

You listen to these too much:

Empire by The Grid
Mother London by Richard Barbieri
Flare 2 by Richard Barbieri
Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree
Sleepers Awake by Richard Barbieri

You stan these artists to an uncomfortable extent:

Porcupine Tree
Susumu Yokota
Roger Eno
Brand X
Steven Wilson

You are 1% basic. Martha Davis and La Düsseldorf? Where do you even find this?.

You're stuck in the early 2010s. For you, music's been all downhill since Biosphere made Turned to Stone.

Thanks for letting me see your music I guess.

Shutting down.

I would like to know how listening to La Düsseldorf makes me 'basic'... given I'm reasonably certain only one other person on my Friends List would have heard any of their stuff... but you can't argue with a 'bot...

But at least you know this thing actually does go through your stuff... Here's last year's attack on my music taste!!
