I don’t listen to indie music so I dunno if this is legit, I just thought it was kinda fun.

    my problem is i don’t understand how to categorise the music i listen to based on genre labels. Also I don’t use a music service that has analytics or listen to playlists so I have no clue how mainstream my tastes in particular artists are

      You should try https://everynoise.com/

      If you type an artist’s name in the search bar it’ll give you relevant genres. You can then click one of those genres and you’ll get a word cloud of artists. Clicking an artist name gives you a short sample of their music. You can also go back to the home page, do a ctrl+F for a genre, and see similar genres grouped up close by to it

          It’s definitely not ideal on phones, but I don’t think the intended usage of the main page is to manually scroll around on either phone or PC. The massive word cloud looks exactly the same on a bigger screen. Use a “find in page” to jump to a genre you want to check out and then see what’s near it. The audio all works the same as it does on PC (for me, at least)
