Methods and systems for personalizing user experience based on nostalgia metrics

Abstract:

A server system accesses a listening history of a user of the media-providing service, where the user is in a demographic group. For each track of a plurality of tracks in the listening history of the user, the server system determines a year associated with the track and calculates a first metric based at least in part of an affinity of members of a demographic group, as compared to members of other demographic groups, of music from the year associated with the track. The server system selects content for the user based on the first metric and provides the selected content to a client device associated with the user.
