A synff listening archetype
Regular
Canon · Focused · Open · Visceral
You know what moves you, and popularity does not make you suspicious of it. Your taste has a clear, recognisable pulse: direct, warm, and more interested in feeling than in proving a point. You meet new records with an open ear and keep the ones that make the room come alive.
Three minutes. No account.
Yours is the taste that soundtracks things: cooking, driving, other people arriving. You reach for what you know will work because the moment matters more than the experiment, and you are usually right. When a record earns its place it gets played into the ground, and you feel no guilt about that. Wearing something out is how you love it.
Your strength is honesty. There is no performance in your listening, which means your keeps are true and your enthusiasm is contagious. The blind spot is the slow burner: records that reward patience can slip past a taste tuned for immediacy. The ones that change things for you hit on first listen and then keep revealing why.
One of sixteen.
