Oooh! New time sink!
Lookit the time waster Uncle B found! It’s called Every Noise at Once (URL everynoise.com). It’s a giant color-coded map of very musical genre on Spotify.
Every Noise at Once was a long-running attempt at an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 6,291 genre-shaped distinctions at Spotify through 2023-11-19. The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.
Click anything to hear an example of what it sounds like.
Click the » on a genre to see a map of its artists.
It’s actually ten years old and is static now because the creator got laid off from Spotify. Click the name of a genre to hear a sample; click the right arrows after the genre to see a map of the artists associated with the genre (who can also be sampled).
Very cool.

She does provide a refreshing view of what life can be like outside the 4 hour doom scrolling cycle doesn’t she?
