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%.

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.

>>
>>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/

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.

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.
