Listener 2016’s letters

The test Listener 2016 didn’t take

Four dimensions, read from what Listener 2016 actually plays.

K is for Kinetic

100%

vs Intimate

You prefer music with elbows out.

You reach for music that moves the body first - rhythm, pressure, momentum. The feeling arrives through motion.

F is for Focused

86%

vs Eclectic

A few familiar names hold the reins.

Your taste holds together as 3 close sides of one sound. You know exactly what you like, and you go deep rather than wide.

O is for Rooted

56%

vs Rising

Home base keeps its strong claim.

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

M is for Mainstream

75%

vs Niche

Big-name hooks get the open-door treatment.

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

Listener 2016’s reading

Who Listener 2016 is

As Brew wrote it to Listener 2016.

Your indie-rock swagger self leads: Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, and Kasabian put motion first. Your taste stays close and rooted, while this rising side gathers guitars and big choruses. Feeling arrives through momentum, then settles into a hook you already know.

Dave and Skepta mark your fading grime self; Bru-C carries the older bassline rush. Green Day, The Goo Goo Dolls, and The Strokes echo your guitar-hearted orbit. You make the chorus communal without giving up its kick.
