I just looked up the code. Here's the answer.

There are 4 types of trend: genre, new topics, audience and strange combos.

If you hit the trend for type genre, new topic or audience, t = 1.2. If you don't hit the trend, t = 1.

For strange combos, it depends on the topic/genre combination value (from raw data).

If the value is 1 (good combo), t = 0.85 (that's right, you get penalized for using a good combo when strange combo is the vogue)

If the value is 0.9, t = 1.1

If the value is 0.8, t = 1.2

If the value is less than 0.8, t = 1.4

Do me a favor and update the page with this info, thanks.
