How obscure is your taste in music, /mu/?
To calculate your obscurity score just go to the following site:
https://yellowjelly.github.io/obscurity.html
After that, post your top 10 albums of all time and your obscurity score.
Feel free to post your obscurity score in this poll as well!
http://www.strawpoll.me/13636697
(It's the same poll from the last thread)
What does the obscurity score mean? It's roughly how obscure your taste in music is when compared to /mu/, so an obscurity score of 80% means your taste is more obscure than 80% of /mu/
Judging from the responses from the last thread however, the results are skewed towards the 50%, with less people than expected getting scores lesser than 10% and higher than 90%.

I think these are still great. Obscure albums usually let me down since they aren't too consistent.

Nice typo, bitch.
If I want to list classical, do I have to name the actual recordings? Or the pieces by the composers? Or should I just forgo classical?
>>74397866

and where would that be? Btw adding an exclamation point to Moster lowered your score.
>>74397945
>adding an exclamation point to Moster lowered your score
Not really. The site/last.fm autocorrects the artist name to the closest match.
>>74397940
>classical
Composer - Work

Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony No. 9

>https://www.last.fm/search?q=m%C3%98ster
Oh, that sucks. Last.fm usually deals well with different names for similar artists. I thought you were thinking that the site reduced his score because one of the "moster"s didn't exist, so it assumed 1 listener.
>>74398079

I wonder if someone can manage to get 0-0.1%
>>74398420
If the top 10 most listened artists on last.fm made your 10 favorite albums, you get an exact score of 0%
>>74398367
I was actually checking how low music from my country could go
>>74398420
Smells Like Teen Spirit is the most scrobbled track on last.fm
>>74398394
>artpop top 3

>>74391316
>Fishmans
I like you anon
>>74398469
Spinetta is great though
>>74398483
If you don't follow the instructions you can get a positive score for something that should be negative. For example, if you put Coldplay 10 times.
>>74398538
I put Coldplay 10 times before I tried Nirvana, kek
How can this be 50% obscure
Most of it is /mu/core
>>74398682
Why are you surprised that more than 50% of /mu/ listens to /mu/core? That's how bad this board has become.
errr
>>74398745
there's a lot of good /mu/core albums though, and a lot of them have an overlap with already-considered-good music, I knew 75% of it before I started posting here.
>>74398826
*there are
>>74398826
That's not the problem. The problem is that /mu/ doesn't talk about anything that isn't /mu/core (realistically speaking).
>>74398867
Probably could've worded that better, but yeah, I fucking hate that. I tried to start a Minutemen thread (already considered /mu/core) and it still got no replies while ITAOTS, MBDTF and Grimes threads filled the catalog.
>>74398895
>Minutemen thread without replies
I see we have already hit a record low.
Not too bad, I must say
Was expecting higher, though.
Pleasantly surprised
5.83
30.7%
>>74398867
It's more because it's something you can post here and actually get replies - not getting many in a Minutemen thread, as that guy pointed out, shows /mu/'s state. I can't make a thread about, say, fucking Orange 9mm because a small handful compared to total board traffic have heard of them. And it's not an unknown band overall.
It's just that /mu/'s become a self-feeding machine thanks to /mu/core. /mu/core started out as "albums you ought to hear if you want to be able to contribute here as a baseline". Now it's just... what we talk about? And even then not that much because At The Drive In's new album was totally ignored.
/mu/'s issue is very much a structural issue.
>>74399055
I would say making band threads in general is a bad idea. Doesn't promote much music discovery, unlike genre threads, for example.
>At The Drive In's new album was totally ignored
This is both a good and a bad thing depending on how you look at things. It's good that it happened, but not for the reasons it actually happened.
/mu/core ruined /mu/
>>74398242
>>74399107
I mean, I don't mind if there was one thread overall, but DAMN. all but monopolized /mu/. As for ATDI, I'm not really that glad, but do with it what you will. And there really isn't a thread to talk about that stuff, yeah. Maybe /daily/, but that's not really it.
/mu/core ruined /mu/, I concur, especially as I find that my taste and albums that I consider really good are becoming more and more "obscure" albums, I realize just how much /mu/ ends up being an endless repeatbox at times with some variation. I have joked about it being Groundhog Day when it comes to memes; now it's noticeable it's not only that.
Can't imagine how that feels for anyone else.
>>74399227
It's not that /mu/core ruined /mu/, newfags that treated it like a Bible ruined /mu/. Hell, I've been here for like half a year but at least I have my own identity
>>74399384
So, /mu/core ruined /mu/?
yeah that's about what i expected (woah kanye west isn't obscure? whaaat)

nah, I think you deserve the credit for that
I'm pretty pleb desu
It refused to do it for Earth and Ufo, too generic names I guess? Either way surprised by how high the % was
Hail Satan
It's ok I guess
Much of /mu/core is really good music, it's /mu/core for a reason. Sure, talking about it too much is a problem, but to say that these albums are bad, and to like them therefore because of it is the sign of a pseudo-intellectual and a contrarian.
Avant-math god, more like avant-teen
>>74390705
surprised by my score
lol
Do I have to see this thread every day now? Fuck off, avant-fag.
>>74395033
Good stuff nigga.
62.1%
I guess it has to do with it i put 5 albums from people in my country and 5 albums from english speaking countries.
91%
Probably won't be this obscure if I list all my favorite western artists.
I'm fucking mainstream normie trash. Judge me if you want.
don't think it's obscure at all for this site
Obscurity is relative.
To /mu/ and the average American, very.
To the average 15 year old, probably.
To people with similar tastes, not really.
>>74402766
FUCK YEAH FOO FIGHTERS \m/

Sounds about right
