It's a term invented by Last.fm that didn't really catch on more generally because it's too silly even for the Internet.

I never never cared about my own or other people's music listening history. And I never talked to someone who does. So I never needed a word for the thing, I guess.

Some people actually do, especially for people from similar music fandom.

I use Last.fm for more than decade and its nice to find fellow friend that have incredibly same niche music taste.

In a way, it's the same as peopel sharing books collection on Goodreads or tracking movie list on Letterboxd.

Sounds like social media for a specialised case. Thanks for your explanation.
