where does your listening live, from level 1 to level 5? plus your weirdest genres, next steps at every level, and lesser-known artists deeper in your genres.
the pop everyone knows, like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa
big names with a sharper edge, like Charli xcx, Billie Eilish, Lorde, Doja Cat, Lady Gaga
cult favorites and indie darlings, like Magdalena Bay, Caroline Polachek, The Marías, Ethel Cain, Clairo
art pop, hyperpop, and the underground, like FKA twigs, SOPHIE, yeule, Shygirl, 100 gecs
deep experimental, like Arca, Eartheater, Smerz, buffalo_farm, Banshee
level 1 isn't basic and level 5 isn't cooler. the map just shows where you're standing, so you can decide where to wander next, or stay right where you are. loving a pop star and a noise artist in the same week is the whole point.
Type your Last.fm username into the taste map on musicisforgirls.com. It places your top 50 artists on a 1 to 5 map (and you can add 50 more at a time), from mainstream pop to deep experimental, and shows where most of your listening lives.
The taste map pulls the genre tags listeners have put on your artists on Last.fm and ranks them by how rare they are, so you can see your weirdest genres and go digging for more artists in each one.
Levels are about sound, not fame. If an artist is on the site's hand-built map of 150 artists, that level is used. Otherwise it looks at who Last.fm says she sounds like and averages their levels. Only when there's no match does it fall back to listener counts.
Yes. Switch between all time, this year, and the last 3 months to see whether your listening is moving further out.
You need a Last.fm username for this one. The guide at musicisforgirls.com/listening-data shows how to set one up with Spotify or Apple Music.
