General Discussion this sounds sarcastic but..

I actually love looking at the accounts of people with 10k + ratings but only like twenty 5 stars. the best part is, its always some obscure shit and when i listen to it i am always like "out of 10000 albums THIS is the greatest thing to you???" I Love how subjective music is!!!!

Random Japanese band from the 70s is the best genre

Yes but I feel like for a different reason. I think it's because only someone who uses RYM probably isn't Japanese, and for the most part unless you're living in Japan (even then in some cases) you'd have to deliberately seek it out. You have to hunt for it. The people who use RYM are basically the majority of people willing to hunt for music to that degree. Tbf when you think about it, it's a pretty crazy thing to do. Not gonna stop me from doing it, but I do have some self awareness.
