Noisey's top 10 neighbors span magazines, comedians, websites, a film studio, a politician, and a TV show — with no single subcategory dominating and scores compressed into a narrow band from 0.97 down to 0.95.
The shape is flat: The FADER leads at 0.97, followed closely by Desus Nice at 0.96, Writers of Color at 0.95, and Them. at 0.95. None of these pull away from the pack — the gap between first and tenth is smaller than the gap between many entities and their second neighbor. Tallying the subcategories across the top 10: magazines account for two entries (The FADER and GQ Magazine), websites two (Them. and Pigeons & Planes), and the remaining six span comedians (Desus Nice, Jaboukie Young-White), blogs (Writers of Color), a film studio (A24), a politician (Jamaal Bowman), and a TV show (The Black List). Noisey's own subcategory — Websites — appears in two of the ten neighbors, but the set is otherwise cross-kind: music-adjacent media, culture-forward comedians, and politically engaged channels all share the same audience shape.
The cross-kind composition here is the finding: this audience is not defined by music media alone, but by a broader cluster of culturally progressive, arts-and-politics-oriented channels that cuts across format and subject matter.
