For the past few years Spotify’s Discover Weekly has been the main way I discover new (to me) music. Secondarily I guess just from browsing the related artists of the ones I already listen to. Looking for other strategies inside or outside of spotify.

It might be a bit old school but I listen to the radio…
TheNeedleDrop’s weekly track roundup on youtube is my go to when i want to hear something new. Checking upcoming shows at music venues around me also works wonders.
There’s a bunch of youtubers that feature new music and albums.
- Morphy for stoner rock.
- 666MrDoom for stoner and sludge
- The Prime Thanatos for synthwave.
- Nightride FM for synthwave.
My taste is mainstream enough that I just go with Wikipedia from artists I already know, and once a year, the Grammys.
A lot of the time ViMusic will just play new stuff based off the song I’m listening to. Then there’s friends, family, and whatever media I’m consuming. Usually an anime or a game with a banger OST or OP + ED. That’s about it, besides the ocassional random deep dive.
