    I’ve resorted back to piracy, but mostly cuz my taste in music confuses the hell out of the algorithms: I’m a fan of symphonic metal, and seeding one of those songs as the start of a playlist on something like YT music will land you with a combination of heavy death metal and renaissance fair music.

    If I ever find one that can actually distinguish sub-genres of metal, then sign me the fuck up!!

      When I started listening to more obscure avantgarde records, I stopped believing in genres. I mean, take Mr Bungle for example. Twelve genres in four minutes. How would you even label that?
