Each node is a subgenre: its colour is the axis most of its tags belong to, its size the number of tags. A link is drawn when the Jaccard similarity of two tag sets clears the threshold, and thickens with similarity. The network is live: drag a node and its neighbours follow, let go and it settles again. Hover for a summary, tap to open the card below.
Tap a node or a row name and that subgenre’s profile opens here.
