I have some friends my age still listening to the same bands they used to 20 years ago, complaining about how music today sounds all the same. However I discover something new almost every day and I’m not kidding.
It’s true that some of my discoveries are bands from decades before I was born, so they can’t be considered new, although they are new to me if that makes sense.
What about you? Still listening to the same tunes you used to listen to when you were a teenager?
Well until yesterday my answer would have been “use reddit”.
But there’s still plenty of online forums (we’re in one right now) where I’ve found amazing suggestions. I also share a lot of music with my friends in real life which helps me expand my taste.
Also I’d argue that Spotify’s enshitification hasn’t really affected the ability to find new music on there. I still ocassionaly throw on the “radio” for an artist I like and I usually find some great new stuff
