Edit 10/26 because I realized that a) there is not much to discuss about the site I shared except for how cool it is, and b) that there a so many other single-purpose sites that are funny, useful, creative, or all of the above.
This is a really cool site, and I couldn't find an appropriate thread for it. It gives you a small sample of every conceivable music genre, from soft rock to deep darkspy, grisly deathmetal to Chicago blues, Persian traditional to Polish pop. Clicking on the genre leads to the map of the artists, which leads to Spotify playlists.
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 1536 genres by Spotify. 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.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.
I tried to find two and it couldn't find either one.
"It turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of apocalypse."
and
You know, I used to think that it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, "Wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair? And all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?"
So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.
I only tried the first sentence of that second quote.
I'm not getting anything from quite a few Babylon 5 quotes.
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."
I was trying short ones like , "Always trust Ivanova!" and "Understanding is a three-edged sword." and "nibbled to death by cats" and "You cannot run out of time" and "not the one, not the one" and "No boom today"
Babylon 5 just isn't in there.
Buffy is, I've seen quotes from there quite a bit. Just not the one about the plural of apocalypse.
Yeah, I only tried movies before; it doesn't seem to have access to as many TV shows. I'm curious who they are that they have access to anything at all...
