I mostly still listen to the same stuff I used to. Most of my favorite bands are still coming out with albums, so every time something new drops I get to add that into the mix. Occasionally I'll add in a new song, whether I hear it in a videogame (my husband loves videogame music, so I've added some great tracks as a result) or the radio or with a friend, but I haven't had a new artist grab me the way my favorites did once upon a time. In that way, I might just be resistant to change.
I definitely don't necessarily have the time to look for new stuff, so I usually stumble upon it. I don't agree that all music today sounds the same - at least, not anymore "the same" than what was coming out ten years ago. Sure, some things within a genre might be similar, but I don't think it's any more "same-y" now than it used to be. If you're finding new stuff you enjoy, past or present, I think that's awesome.
Some internet radios can be great to find out new bands, but I agree with you: things can get a bit same-y if always listening to the same genre.
