“This is an ongoing attempt at an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 1387 genres by The Echo Nest. The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.

Wow, this is great! Thanks Mark. I’m embarrassed to say that when I see these things in genre lists, I honestly have no idea what they are, even when I was writing in them, ha. Thank you thank you for sharing.
