Open Mind Index [Last.fm]

Type in your last.fm username and calculate your open-mindedness based on your tags. There's a [url=http://www.last.fm/group/Open+Mind+Index]group[/url] for this, but you can only enter if you score 120+. You can toss the image into your profile, if you feel like it.

I got a 127. Higher than a few others I tried, surprisingly, since some of the stuff I listen to is considered mainstream. :cool:

I hate people who obsess over that crap.


Quoting Alastor: I got a 127. Higher than a few others I tried, surprisingly, since some of the stuff I listen to is considered mainstream. :cool:


That's because it's not based on how popular your music is, but how many genres of music you listen to according to what artists are tagged as on Last.fm. You have a pretty big variety, so it's no surprise.

My score is a 113. It'll be extremely different after this week for sure.



Posted by Alastor

It's nothing to obsess over, but it's pretty neat, I thought.




Posted by Synth2012

I got 115. I guess I'm not quite good enough for that little group, huh?

I guess you'll have to be a snob in somthing else Synth.

Haha, I was thinking of that journal when I saw the title to this thread.

I will, from now on, only speak to people who exclusively eat mint chocolate chip ice cream!

Oh, and "depressive black metal" amused me. XD

Drat, I'm not eclectic. Though I think it's funny that 16% of that prog rock is Porcupine Tree. :)

oh btw 97, which is weird considering three months ago it was like, 135




Posted by Corrupt

Yeah, I'm not really too keen on this OMI bull**** either, but I figured it'd be a good way to kill some time. Here are the OMI charts to both of my last.fm accounts, my new one (Hydropolis) and my old one (RazorHybrid), respectively:



For the record, the first one has a score of 101 and the second a score of 119. So yeah, I'm definitely stuck in my world of electronica like I have been for the past few years, but it doesn't mean I don't listen to other genres of music. :cool:

"other lastfm tags" amused me more. apparently post-rock isn't a big genre or something according to this


wait, it showed up in corrupts? lol



Posted by Shade

Post-Rock appeared on mine. *shrug*

HOW STRANGE

Yeah, look at that tiny little sliver of orange in there. It's probably a result of me playing the same Explosions in the Sky album over and over. I do like the genre, though.

[quote=Vampiro V. Empire]HOW STRANGE

Yeah, next thing you know he'll be telling us he listens to prog rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Posted by Synth2012

"Other lastfm tags" is apparently my favorite genre. :D




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

well, strange in the way that it didn't appear on mine when I have more music in that genre than nearly all the others.

SANS BLACK METAL AMIRITE?

It's based on your most common genres. Anything less common than the main ones becomes the "other last.fm tags" percentage.


Quoting Vampiro V. Empire: Haha, I was thinking of that journal when I saw the title to this thread.


Yeah, I know. I need to do a new one.

Quoting Vampiro V. Empire: HOW STRANGE


I thought your first post meant that last.fm thought Post-Rock wasn't important enough to the site and just gets lumped in with 'other' automatically. MY MISTAKE



Posted by Richaod

Mine's 99... because alternative/indie don't have as many subgenres as metal. :P Even though many of the artists are more distinct.

Interestingly, female vocalists is my second highest tag. I just think of my musical taste as having gender equality. :P

post-rock is more common on my charts than "depressive black metal" and electronic.

I'M ****ED FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

No surprises there. Pretty cool.

143 8-)
i'd post it up here but my name has @ss in it, and alas, my link is censored

shows up as 149 on my old and dead lastfm




Posted by Panic!

lol bastard. I got the highest number for less than an hour :D




Posted by Xero

106. Way more than I expected. But I didn't tag too many artists. I'll do some more tagging to have results a little more accurate.




Posted by Omni

It's not based on what you tag. It's based on popular tags for artists you listen to.




Posted by Xero

Yeah I sort of realized that after having tagged a bunch of artist and then saw that my index was still at 106. :p:




Posted by Omni




That's probably the highest I've seen on anyone.




Posted by Xero

Just a quick question: How do we post those images on our last.fm page? I couldn't find a code for images.




Posted by Alastor

Same as VGC. BBCode. :cookie:

[img]chart url goes here!![/img]

Anywhere in About Me or whatever that section's called should be fine.

right click, copy image location



Posted by Omni

I would never put that in my profile. It would make it seem like I thought I was eclectic and open-minded, which is against my morals as far as people know on Last.fm.




Posted by Alastor

If you don't put the "open mind index" part up there, it just seems like a nice little genre chart. :cookie:

Yeah I originally had 100. But yeah, I need to listen to more music.




Posted by Alastor

"New Zealand" is a genre now?

Way to go, Flight of the Conchords. Way to go. :cool:




Posted by Crazy K

I also noticed that it'll change when you use a different version. So yeah, you can easily change it from the color you have now by simply putting your name in.




Posted by Omni


Quoting Alastor: "New Zealand" is a genre now?


It goes by user tags. Many tags represent countries or record labels or other stuff that's relevant to the artist. :cool:



Posted by G-Sides




"2.2% mike patton" made me lol. i'm such a fanboy. :(




Posted by Corrupt

Might as well do it again, as it's been almost four months:




Hahaha, only went up ten points. But now my charts are complete with 2.4% more noise, and that number is only going to increase. :cool:

if I did this again, it would probably go up, it's been a few months.

EDIT: so umm, how exactly does this work? I figured by the looks of it I'd have more of an open mind then Ant because of more tags, but apperently not? is it because of the types of tags being similar or something?




Posted by Alastor

I think it's something like, the more obscure the tags, the more CRAZY SPECIAL AWESOME UNIQUE AND OPEN MINDED you are. But I could be wrong.

Posted by Alastor

Awful lot of black metal there.



If I were to reset my charts, any video game related tags would be insanely high. It's all I've been listening to basically for a few months now.

By gum, who would've guessed!



Posted by Alastor

You seemed like a real indie rock type to me. My entire image of you is shattered.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yeah, I'm tricky like that.




Posted by Shade



Only six more and I can finally join the group! Success.
