The link doesn't work for me, is it the same as everynoise.com?

I've been mostly using Spotify and some Dutch review sites. I still have a Last.fm account but don't use it much anymore, Spotify has mostly replaced it.

IIRC, there's some sort of algorithm working under the hood that procedurally generates genres/categories. I could be wrong though, it's been a really long time since I read into it.
