#212This is pretty funny, that "fuck marry kill" one throws me off a little bit though.
That's where it didn't respond anymore, and I had to kill it. The comments before were not enlightening enough, as I was music editor and dj on a local indie radio station, so it should be the other way round. The general taste sucks. Spotify's release radar only recommends shit, but nevertheless it's still the best to find the hidden gems. You won't find them on radio shows, other than KTRU or WFMU.
First time I've ever seen KTRU mentioned on the internet!

> might provide some insight into why my Spotify is so bad, even by my own tastes. That's just Spotify. The AI did a better job of figuring out what I like (138 and uplifting trance) than Spotify does (EDM). I blame it in Armin van Buuren: he is an extremely popular EDM DJ and he plays a very wide variety of EDM. If you listen to EDM chances are he has at least a few dozen sets you'd enjoy. That's the problem: he's p…
I don't think that's a bad thing per se, if the algorithm correctly identifies that you like EDM. We then come to the micro-genre discussion - how specific are you in your tastes, and how precise is the algorithm required to be?
EDM is an extremely diverse genre. Recommending music because it falls under EDM is like recommending music because guitars are used.

#215```> Your spotify was moonwalk-BFG bad.
> Thank your obsessions with Michael Jackson and Doom (Original Game Soundtrack) for that.
> But wait, it gets worse:
You listen to these tracks too much:
Enter the Cipher by Follow The Cipher Afterlife by Metalite Winterfall by Follow The Cipher Valkyria by Follow The Cipher My Soldier by Follow The Cipher You stan these artists to an uncomfortable extent:
Amaranthe Mick Gordon Nightwish Celldweller Little V. You are 1% basic. Have you considered there's a reason nobody listens to monomer?.
You're stuck in the early 2010s. For you, music's been all downhill since Amaranthe made Leave Everything Behind.
Well, that was really something.
I need to go recalibrate my taste levels.
Shutting down.```
well shit

#216> Your spotify was horny-soundtrack-movie-soundtrack bad. I suppose because soundtracks and 90s dance remixes are what I listen to while programming. For soundtracks, I made a playlist that goes for 28hrs 30 mins full of: * Hans Zimmer * James Horner * John Williams * Alan Silvestri * David Newman * Danny Elfman * Christopher Tin * John Powell * Michael Giacchino * Ramin Djawadi * etc
Please do share the playlist. Will love to listen to it.

#217I was hoping it was a questionnaire about how bad Spotify recommendations are. I have no idea why Spotify feels the need to clutter my recommendations with radio stations like "Rap Caviar" and "Music for when you know you're the bad bitch", meanwhile it doesn't show me new releases for music I actually listen to because of all the irrelevant suggestions taking up space. I ended up creating a new account because appar…
Release Radar is usually pretty good at recommending new releases, at least for me.
Yeah I can't think of anything I've missed by following Release Radar each Friday. It would be nice if it was clearer on Release Radar whether the new release was a single or an album. You can infer this from the single having a separate title than the listed album, but sometimes it's the title track.

#218My problem with Spotify is that it almost exclusively plays music that I listened to in the past, or that's on my playlists. The more times I listen to a song, the more frequently they play it. You can get around this by closing the account, and opening a new one, but this is too time consuming, since you need to do it frequently.
You can get around this by using the Release Radar and Discover Weekly playlists which update and are fine tuned to your likes on music.

#219Sororities statistics are weird, all sites like this tend to pull up stuff I haven’t listened to in 3-4 years and don’t have in any playlists. Similar to this, I’ve noticed a lot of sites that pull your top artists, will pull artists I’ve listened to once or twice recently, but not ones that be listened to continuously over time.
