Curious to see the impact of lemmies and what we freaks are up to.

For me, I was in the 0.05% of The National (don’t ask lol) which apparently have 5.9M monthly listeners…

My wife was in 0.05% of Mallrat listeners over 1.8M monthly listeners…

Not to imply direct correlation between the two numbers of course.

Spotify likes to make up genres. This could be one of them. Last year I had something called “voidgaze” which was made up by them to mash up different types of black and atmospheric metal.

Haha yeah. I understand some music doesn’t fall nicely under the classic genres but Spotify’s labelling is a bit excessive

Yea. Genres are really only useful in describing your music taste but when no one knows what “bubblegrunge” or “voidgaze” is it kinda defeats the purpose.
