How it works

Each axis is a question about how you listen: calm or intense, played by hand or made by machines, three minutes or a long journey. Your answers place you on all twelve, and your profile is compared with where each of the 101 genres sits.

You also get three records to start with, a curious fact and, where one fits, what Americans told YouGov about the broad category your genre belongs to.

It’s a game, not a verdict on your taste: a high match means you listen the way that genre’s fans tend to, and nothing stops you from loving your nemesis.
