I’ve been having trouble finding new favorite musical artists. Having been disappointed in many of my childhood favorites, there’s only a few artists I genuinely binge. I think I have this problem where I need to relate to what the artist says in most of their songs. It’s a sort of parasocial relationship, because the more songs of theirs I relate to, the more likely I am to enjoy their new songs.

So I was thinking, it would be cool if there was a website that asks you questions about yourself, and then based the information we have on music artists online, it finds the closest match. For example, it asks personal questions like “did you grow up poor?” or “what is your political ideology?”, etc. And say you answer “yes” and “communist”, and then it finds you an artist who also grew up poor and is a communist. I feel like this would allow for finding more relatable music.

I have a feeling such a website doesn’t exist, but I just wanted to put my idea out. However, if you know anything even similar to this, let me know.
