You might be right, but I think wrong. I would assume that people with non discerning tastes would be more prone to clicking whatever popular playlist is thrown at them while people with preferences would. People with specific tastes would probably fall into grooves of specific groups for distinct periods of time. I know most of my music streaming is playing specific groups. But that is of course just anecdata
- sethhochberg 8y agoIn the more nice corners of the music world - especially dance, jazz, and classical - it is very common for music fans to describe their tastes by following a specific label. A good label head is a tastemaker and curator, and their label brand will all be a consistent kind of sound (or level of quality, for classical). When you find a DJ you like, you figure out what label they're signed with, and if the label head has done their job right you've just discovered a whole family of related similar artists who produce music in the same style and often tour/perform together. This doesn't really happen as much in other genres, where the goal is to be signed with a sub-imprint from Sony, Universal, etc... there isn't nearly as much curation going on.
