I've talked a bit about this with one member. When looking at your entries collectively - or maybe your most recent few - how good of a representation are they of what you listen to outside of the contest when you're just chilling listening to music? Maybe it's more of a taster of what you like, maybe you only bring one or two areas of what you like into the contest?

For me, just like the music I listen to for my own pleasure, my entries have been pretty versatile as I don't particularly care about having a specific sound or era or anything, I mostly just send a song I like at the moment 🤭 BUT, that said, there is a lot of music I listen to that I probably wouldn't really think about entering as much of what I listen to is more 'lowkey' - understated trip-hop / chillout music, folksy or artsy singer-songwriters, etc. I've sent some of that, but it still has to stand out in some way for the contest.

I'm also much more of an albums person - I like the trip of a full album - so finding a song that sticks out on its own can be challenging.

I'd say over the years I mostly gravitate towards goth/darkwave sounds or electronic music which does feel representative of the majority of my personal chart. But I do love a swerve too - my latest winner was pop, my planned next entry is math rock etc., so I'd say I can be fluid, but undoubtably have a couple of signature sounds and would fall under being an alt nation, even if Sonia y Selena are in my back catalogue.
