Archivist · intimate · contemplative · retro

Demo account. Restorations, first pressings, the black and white one. The past keeps better than we do.

Archetype

The past rates higher. With a streak of The Empath.

7% of Buds. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.

The past. Older forms, older voices, the thing that has already lasted. They are happiest twenty years behind and see no reason to catch up.

Where it goes wrong: Nostalgia rates the memory, not the work. Some of the old things are not as good as you remember.

More about the Archivist

Avoids: The merely new. Novelty on its own is not an argument, and you are suspicious of this year's consensus.
How they rate: You rate the old above the new, more than most, and your reviews place things in a lineage.
Good company: Prestige Hunters and Formalists share your shelves. Thrill Chasers think you are in a museum; you think they are in a mall.
Against the crowd: You are kinder than the crowd to the dated and harsher on the current.
