    Love the chart... afraid to admit I'm only level 3 / 4. Too nerdy for the cool kids to like me, too cool for the nerdy kids to like me. Right in the middle

    We were all there at one time or another. Some stayed at a given level. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Others looked for newer and newer musical experiences. Different preference. Personally, I play all six levels. Last night was mostly Lowecase and Drone; tonight it's Mark Knopfler and Fela (the 6LP Box #3).

    Lots of em all over the place. I have to admit, I need so much more music, probably more than I've spent on audio gear so far. Need more eclectic stuff, but first I need to acquire all of Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention. Then I'll work on King Crimson, then I'll figure out what next. Need myself some Sun Ra. Maybe we could set up a CD loaner thing and everyone could share music. I've got some stuff that's pretty cool, even though most of what I have on the computer is from the library.

    wtf?
    the word "sophisticated" appears in no ones thread/posting/insinuation until your post.

    it's not like the lower/higher the level the more valid or sophisticated taste is validated in any way.
    SBAF folks should (by now) all realize that sh*t like this is for fun, not for ostracizing or scar labelling anyone.

    carry on.

    To be honest, there is a lot of shit out there, but it's whomever's decision to listen to whatever they want. I'm still going to point and laugh at them for listening to crap just because it's on the radio and has a good beat or cause everyone else likes it.

    haha lots of tears spilling in this thread, but I love the chart, i thought floor tile and lowercase was a joke, those are actual genres.

    I like this floor tiles song:

    unless I'm mistaken, Pierre Boulez is a pillar of musique concrète.

    I'm not a specialist, but to me it qualifies. That's early work though, I think his later work would be a bit more telling.

    I'm all over the place myself, although I don't dip under level 4 too often.
