08.09.16 | There were a few other genres I was considering putting on here instead of the ones that I chose, but these were my final choices.
Don't forget to shoot me some alt rock recs |
tempest--
08.09.16 | mine does |
MistaCrave
08.09.16 | good taste |
Artuma
08.09.16 | 12% black metal my ass |
CaimanJesus
08.09.16 | Due to bands like Rosetta and ISIS getting prog metal tags, my prog metal % is way too high |
wwf
08.09.16 | Mine reflects the stuff I've rated pretty well but it doesn't exactly reflect what I listen to actively now
It's still really interesting watching it change. I wish I could see old versions of it, maybe I'll start screenshotting it every couple weeks or so
'Due to bands like Rosetta and ISIS getting prog metal tags, my prog metal % is way too high'
this so much. can we get rid of the prog metal tag on Isis? |
Conmaniac
08.09.16 | i listen to way more emo than I have rated |
MistaCrave
08.09.16 | Yeah, it's the same for me with a lot of indie rock/folk. Also, bands get categorized as weird things on the pie chart. Like, I have no idea why I have 6% metalcore when the bands that it says are metalcore are literally the same bands that give me my percentage of hardcore lol |
ToMMyMiL16
08.09.16 | How come my pie chart doesnt work? Its just blank and is a solid turquoise color. |
TVC15
08.09.16 | I honestly don't listen to a ton of industrial outside of a few artists who are tagged as such and have rated their extensive discography. Can't look at my pie on mobile but I would trade industrial and another genre or two for indie pop (or regular pop), grind, and black metal |
Drifter
08.09.16 | "I wouldn't hesitate to say that no other genre is able to evoke emotions quite as powerful as those evoked by post-hardcore."
I disagree. I think hip hop can display so much more emotion through the right words and hooks |
wwf
08.09.16 | 'How come my pie chart doesnt work? Its just blank and is a solid turquoise color.'
yours works fine for me. maybe you don't have a certain plugin?
anyway here's yours

Deathconscious
08.09.16 | yes and no. i definitely do listen to a lot of extreme metal, but i have a wide range of tastes that my pie chart doesnt represent. |
ScuroFantasma
08.09.16 | Is this actuallh debatable though? Don't they just literally collate the tags of stuff you rate?
Maybe it doesn't represent your taste as it evolves unless you remove/change ratings to reflect that, but otherwise they're pretty solid indicators. |
Sevengill
08.09.16 | I am extremely well-balanced in my taste
between eight different kinds of metal |
CaimanJesus
08.09.16 | wrong thread ala |
Sevengill
08.09.16 | good job, top marks all around. |
TVC15
08.09.16 | @Scuro, indeed but artists' discogs can also reflect a plethora of other genres that simply 3 cannot summarize very well. Also Sput's genre tags aren't always reliable |
MistaCrave
08.09.16 | Yeah dude, back before I actually liked indie folk, I had like 19% folk just from black metal lol. |
CaimanJesus
08.09.16 | I listen to a lot more music than I rate, so a more accurate chart for myself would go:
20% Sludge Metal
15% Post Metal
15% Hardcore
10% Black Metal
10% Death Metal
10% Hip Hop
10% Alt Rock
5% Folk
5% Post Hardcore |
Sevengill
08.09.16 | you've listened to 20 albums and one of them is Kveldssanger amirite |
TVC15
08.09.16 | ALA, probably from rating Radiohead and NIN highly |
Sevengill
08.09.16 | do they factor in the actual rating or just what genres we rate? |
wwf
08.09.16 | someone quick 1 like 400 blues albums and find out |
Sevengill
08.09.16 | there are 400 blues albums? |
wwf
08.09.16 | 'there are 400 blues albums?'
yeah and they all sound the same amirite |
Sevengill
08.09.16 | Sputnik doesn't have the funding for that
we need a rich alumnus to donate a bunch of cash |
ScuroFantasma
08.09.16 | "Indeed but artists' discogs can also reflect a plethora of other genres that simply 3 cannot summarize very well. Also Sput's genre tags aren't always reliable"
Yeah good point |
Keyblade
08.09.16 | yes. tho i rarely listen to prog metal these days |
ScuroFantasma
08.09.16 | "do they factor in the actual rating or just what genres we rate?"
The one on your profile page factors in the rating and genre, so the more favourably/unfavourably you rate an album in a genre the larger that pie section grows or shrinks. The one on the rating page factors in only the genre. |
wwf
08.09.16 | what no I thought defining a whole band's discography by three qualifiers and then running this information through NASA supercomputers to figure which of these qualifiers a user tends to prefer was the most surgical system imaginable |
spookynewghostfriend
08.09.16 | ITT people cant deal with having heard Nevermind and as much alt rock as everyone else on the site |
iloveyouall
08.09.16 | check bedhead fam. |
CaimanJesus
08.09.16 | There needs to be a crust punk tag |
wwf
08.09.16 | crusty crusty punk |
TVC15
08.09.16 | I'm surprised there hasn't been a new wave tag since I first joined here and likely even longer. I remember there once was a "mainstream rock" tag which was lol |
iloveyouall
08.09.16 | there really doesn't need to be a crust punk tag.
3/4 of sput can't tell the difference between crust and throatruiner-core, so really it'd be useless. |
TheSpaceMan
08.09.16 | "I think that's why Doolittle at a 3.0 made my alt go down."
I'm pretty sure it only counts towards the pie chart if its a 3.5 of higher (which is dumb, 3s are still a decent score). so like giving something a low rating like a 1.5 or a 2 wont lower a slice unless it used to be above a 3.5 and you changed it |
TheSpaceMan
08.09.16 | so like in short a new rating can only positively effect a certain slice, which in turn lowers another becuz its a percentage out of 100 and needs to steal that % from another slice |
Sevengill
08.09.16 | it's like the democratic tax plan. new people enter the system and the rich pay for them. |
brainmelter
08.09.16 | my pie chart no way in fuck represents what I listen to, doesn't even look like my pie. that's not my pie. |
iloveyouall
08.09.16 | my pie does not reflect my listening.
it should be 100% best jams. |
LambsBread
08.09.16 | ^plebe |
iloveyouall
08.09.16 | yeah, sorry, i should listen to more immortal technique |
DoofusWainwright
08.09.16 | The most exciting event on my pie chart was dream pop 10% turned up for a day last week...but then it went back to its regular divisions. What a fucking tease |
sempiturtle
08.09.16 | Mine is actually accurate. |
EvoHavok
08.09.16 | Percentages are not entirely accurate, but the genres are. |
DoofusWainwright
08.09.16 | Yeah, incredibly accurate - I was only into dream pop for 24 hours then I was so over it. Glad my chart reflected that |
SIIMBOLIC
08.09.16 | 86% shit
yep thats me |
Shadowmire
08.09.16 | more or less |
SIIMBOLIC
08.09.16 | less IS more doe |
Shadowmire
08.09.16 | i didnt mean that's more or less you if there was any confusion |
SIIMBOLIC
08.09.16 | k im relieved cause i was acting nonchalant as a defense mechanism i was p hurt |
Shadowmire
08.09.16 | im so sorry my man |
SIIMBOLIC
08.09.16 | That means a lot. My dog just got aids so its been tuff |
Snake.
08.09.16 | apparently not according to verm bc i don't have pop punk in my pie chart anymore lmao |
AsleepInTheBack
08.09.16 | Mine is fairly accurate, though it doesn't acknowledge a few genres I've been exploring lately and loving |
Totengott
08.09.16 | Fairly accurate, a little too much black metal it seems. |
magicuba
08.09.16 | somehow I got 10% black metal without even knwoing much of the genre |
Funeralopolis
08.09.16 | I have 9% electronic music even though I don't like electronic music besides KLF and Burial. I also probably listen to more indie rock than my pie chart would suggest. I generally don't like or listen to hardcore punk but it's 15% of my chart because of grind, metalcore etc being badly tagged |
Keyblade
08.09.16 | ppl seriously need to stop tagging every metal band that's slightly different as prog metal
and every 90's east coast hip hop act as jazz |
DoofusWainwright
08.09.16 | Any band with a guitar = alt rock |
NeroCorleone80
08.09.16 | Pretty accurate for the most part. Could maybe do with a sludge, grind or folk slice. |
MO
08.09.16 | very accurately it's basically all the best genres so |
SandwichBubble
08.09.16 | I should have more electronic on my chart, but rock and indie rock take up too much space. :/ |
G0atC0re
08.09.16 | mostly yeah. |
FullOfSounds
08.09.16 | They're never accurate with how screwed up genre labelling is. |
RadicalEd
08.09.16 | kinda sorta. A bit to much alt-rock / indie-rock, but it's pretty good overall. |
TVC15
08.09.16 | I wonder if MacMan has figured out a more accurate pie chart (spider web chart as he said it would be) yet |
trve
08.09.16 | just corrected a bunch of ratings and the death metal percentage is still faaaaaar too high |
TheWrenKing
08.09.16 | if I could push up the folk from 11% and cull the alt rock from 10% then yes |
ScuroFantasma
08.09.16 | ppl seriously need to stop tagging every metal band that's slightly different as prog metal [2] |
Sinternet
08.09.16 | idek where experimental comes into my ratings but its there |
Drifter
08.09.16 | I don't even know my pie chart. I almost never go on my computer for sput. If someone could tell me that'd be cool |
Avagantamos
08.09.16 | ppl seriously need to stop tagging every metal band that's slightly different as prog metal [3]
also people need to stop tagging all IDM as electronic, it's completely redundant. it's like tagging immolation as just "metal" |
TVC15
08.09.16 | @Drifter
29% hip hop
22% Alt rock
20% prog rock
8% Indie rock
6% hard rock
6% pop punk
5% pop
5% R&B |
Drifter
08.09.16 | @TVC15 Thanks man |
Sowing
08.09.16 | It's never going to be a perfect representation
Glad to see you getting into The Republic of Wolves |
DoofusWainwright
08.09.16 | Does anyone not have 22% alt rock on their chart? |
adr
08.09.16 | kinda, but not quite the 7% "Doom metal" are all pretty much from DM, many DM bands like Incantation here are voted as doom, also the 8% prog metal need to fuck off already, everything more technical on sput is tagged as prog metal ugh. Jazz needs to sneak in there soon hopefully ^_^ |
Rik VII
08.09.16 | "ppl seriously need to stop tagging every metal band that's slightly different as prog metal" [45678904567] it's so annoying |
adr
08.09.16 | as true this is, genres like avant-garde metal, technical death/trash and drone metal are nowhere to be found on sput entry-level genre tags, it's honestly embarrassing and that's only about the metal... |
ArsMoriendi
08.09.16 | It's close enough
My experimental slice finally beat our my alt slice |
guitarded_chuck
08.09.16 | yeah tho hip hop is a bit overrepresented in terms of how much time i actually spend listening to it |
miketunneyiscool123
08.09.16 | 36% thrash metal
heavy metal 17%
metal 11%
death metal 10%
progressive metal 9%
hard rock 6%
hip hop 5%
progressive rock 4%
I think my 11% of metal is redundant, but I agree with the rest to a point. I am a big thrasher anyways. XD |
AlexKzillion
08.09.16 | 21% Hip Hop
14% Progressive Metal
14% Psychedelic
11% Progressive Rock
11% Jazz
10% Alternative Rock
9% Experimental
8% Metal
No |
DoofusWainwright
08.09.16 | Mine should be more like:
Alt rock 10%
Indie rock 10%
Indie folk 10%
Electronic 10%
Rock 10%
Folk 10%
Metal 5%
Punk 5%
Hip Hop 5%
Dream Pop 5%
Post punk 5%
Prog/Experimental 5%
Pop 5%
Psychedelic 5%
Something like that. I can understand that would be a messy looking pie |
teamster
08.10.16 | No because I still have to enter well over 1,100 albums yet. |
Pheromone
08.10.16 | Alt Rock is the go too genre on this site
If I hover over it on my chart the 3 artists that come up are the stone roses, astronautalis & the rural alberta advantage. none of them are alt rock
|
chemicalmarriage
08.10.16 | Anyone this concerned with pie needs to get the fuck out and on with their life |
DominionMM1
08.10.16 | yes i would say so. i do love my metal and my heavy metal. |
Typhoon24
08.10.16 | metal, hip hop, and a decent amount of sissy shit |
TheSpaceMan
08.10.16 | @Pheromone the Stone Roses are alt rock, never heard the other two though |
TVC15
08.10.16 | Wtf Doof listens to metal? |
Pheromone
08.10.16 | The Stone Roses r strictly
Pilly Jangly Catchy Manchester Rock
|
Gwyn.
08.10.16 | 22% experimental (lol)
20% jazz
18% hip hop
10% hardcore
9% doom metal
7% psychedelic
7% death metal
6% IDM
Seems fairly accurate, yes, the only real problem I have with it is IDM which I don't really listen to besides Afx and Autechre and maybe one or two more acts here and there, but I don't have that many things rated so I guess it's to be expected |
TheSpaceMan
08.10.16 | Doof's fantasy pie chart is a bit ridiculous, who listens to genres with that much equal diversity? looks more like a statement then human tastes, but hey maybe its accurate |
TheSpaceMan
08.10.16 | "The Stone Roses r strictly
Pilly Jangly Catchy Manchester Rock"
haha okay well to people who don't have 70000 genre tags cataloged theyre alt rock |
TVC15
08.11.16 | "Doof's fantasy pie chart is a bit ridiculous, who listens to genres with that much equal diversity? looks more like a statement then human tastes, but hey maybe its accurate"
The dude has like a 99% objectivity so I'm sure it's as accurate as he advertises it |
ArsMoriendi
08.11.16 | It's only 97%, don't give him the extra 2% yet, he hasn't earned it. |
TheSpaceMan
08.11.16 | see to me a 97% objectivity seems to suggest even harder that its sculpted to look diversified, that or I'm fearful doof is a sentient machine with 3% subjectivity in its programming |
MistaCrave
08.15.16 | FINALLY got a post-rock slice. |
Cygnatti
08.15.16 | Should be 50% pop and 10% rnb
But otherwise yes |
brainmelter
08.15.16 | I wish my bannana cream pie was 80% harsh noise |
