Six of The Black Keys' ten nearest neighbors by audience shape are actors — not other musicians, not music media, not bands. The single fellow musician in the set, Ben Folds, posts the highest similarity score at 0.89, but the rest of the top 10 is built almost entirely from screen talent and TV figures.
The shape is broad, meaning no single neighbor dominates and scores stay elevated across the full set (0.83–0.89). The actor cluster includes Nick Offerman (0.88), Glenn Howerton (0.88), Zach Braff (0.87), Kaitlin Olson (0.86), Dan Levy (0.84), and Anna Kendrick (0.84). Filling out the set are two TV Personalities — Joel McHale (0.85) and Bill Nye (0.84) — and one comedian, Patton Oswalt (0.83). No other musicians or bands appear in the top 10. The audience composition here is shaped far more by screen comedy and personality-driven entertainment than by anything adjacent to rock or blues.
The broad shape with a cross-kind actor majority suggests this audience is defined less by genre loyalty than by a consistent taste profile that cuts across entertainment categories.
