I thought this would be fun to ask any BEAers that use RYM. Go to https://rateyourmusic.com/misc/conformity, and it will go through your ratings and determine how much they deviate from the rest of RYM. The higher your score, the more rebellious and contrarian you are.
Last time I checked last week, I was at .70, which is pretty high for the number of ratings I have, but still not as high as Precedent's .74 🙁
I've only really been using it this year and rating things from this year, and it says .57. What does that mean exactly?
That means your taste is relatively (compared to a lot of other users) conforming. I believe the mean of active users is .60, but I could be wrong.
This isn't to necessarily say you're a "pleb" or "sheep", though. I think you're low score comes from you rating releases with higher scores and lower ratings. Since it calculates the Conformity Rating just with your ratings against the average, this can easily affect it.
Man I got shit on my chart no one has added to that site, I call bullshit, like if I rate something that 100s/1000s of people rated and I go high or low, I'm a non-conformist cause the high number of ratings have surely brought the avg score somewhere to the middle point. But if my rating is kinda the same as the 8 other people who have rated a thing, I'm a conformist. This is a meaningless system.
Yeah, sharifi has repeatedly said he wants to redo that system in the next major update because it means nothing unless you only listen to canon music and happen to also dislike it a lot or else only listen to "love to hate" albums and rate them highly.

As easy as it is to make jokes about that, this feature is naturally buggy like that. You may have to try reloading several times over a week to make it work.
(Though you don't have an RYM anyway, do you, Gabe?)
