Your taste holds together as 4 close sides of one sound. You know exactly what you like, and you go deep rather than wide.

Your taste is settled. The sides you love now are the sides you have loved - you return rather than wander.

M is for Mainstream

55%

vs Niche

You meet music where most people are - the artists everyone knows, the songs that fill rooms. Shared taste, big rooms.

Listener 2549’s reading

Who Listener 2549 is

As Brew wrote it to Listener 2549.

You’re settled in your sound, though midnight pop and floaty psych keep softening its borders. Liquid drum and bass, from DJ Zinc to Fred again.., gives that steadiness a faster pulse. You return to familiar sounds and still find a new speed inside them.
