A synff listening archetype

Outlaw

Periphery · Expansive · Discerning · Visceral

Your taste runs wide and strange, but breadth has not made you easy to persuade. You trust the physical verdict an album creates and have little patience for a lukewarm middle. Consensus is background noise; your own response remains the useful signal.

Take your own first reading

Three minutes. No account.

Your reactions have force. The records you love, you love completely, and the ones you reject stay rejected. You have never needed a review to tell you what happened in your own body, and you extend everyone the same courtesy: like what you like, but mean it.

That force is the strength: your loves have edges, and edges are what make them yours. The cost is collateral, records dismissed on a bad day that deserved a better one. You do not need softening; you need better candidates, chosen to survive you, so the firm no keeps meaning something.

One of sixteen.

Four axes of taste, from Canon to Periphery, Focused to Expansive, Open to Discerning and Cerebral to Visceral, make sixteen kinds of listener. Choose any name to read about it.

The quiz gives a first reading. The app draws the one you earn.

In the app, the artists you return to and the records you keep build a Fingerprint that changes as you do.
