Beyond the similarity score

A similarity score does not explain itself. Pulling each listener’s top artists shows where the overlap comes from and where their taste differs.

Your top 3 taste twins on ListenBrainz:

  • fre*** (similarity 0.55) — the most cosmopolitan. Indie folk lead (Kings of Convenience, Sondre Lerche, Sufjan Stevens), then R&B/pop with Frank Ocean and Janelle Monáe, anchored by Radiohead and Bowie. Shares Radiohead with you; their twist is melodic indie folk you barely have.
  • Mel*** (0.55) — basically a Strokes superfan (1,921 listens to your 4,844), with Metric, The Killers, and an Arctic Monkeys / Alex Turner obsession. Distinctive note: video-game music (C418, the Minecraft composer).
  • la*** (0.49) — the closest match to you. Strokes #1, then Radiohead, Beatles, Queen, Nirvana — basically your shortlist. Adds Weezer, Green Day, Arctic Monkeys, and Toby Fox (Undertale).

The three listeners

Each listener gets a concrete distinction: one shortlist is almost identical to the user’s; another includes a genre the user rarely plays. ListenBrainz returns truncated usernames.
