A synff listening archetype
Tastemaker
Canon · Expansive · Discerning · Visceral
Your appetite is wide, but your reactions are anything but vague. An album either creates a physical spark or leaves you ready to move on, and popularity alone cannot rescue it. The interesting part is the tension between range and refusal: you explore broadly without diluting your instincts.
Three minutes. No account.
You can tell inside a minute, and your body announces it before you do: the lean in, or the reach for the skip. What survives that reflex tends to be genuinely potent. You never set out to curate anything. You just refuse to pretend, and what is left is a small collection of certainties.
That reflex is your engine. You explore like an optimist and judge like a bouncer, which keeps what you keep unusually potent. The blind spot is the grower: a record that arrives quiet can be gone before it blooms. The best finds hit instantly and turn out to be deep anyway.
