Do you listen to any new bands? Or just same as 10 years ago? (beehaw.org)

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?

I used to go out and purposefully look for new music from time to time. Lately I've just been playing Spotify radios of artists I like and finding new artists through that. They have a new feature on the mobile app that's kinda like TikTok. You click on tropicalia or norm core or whatever and it plays you similarly tagged songs. After 10-20 songs, it recommends new related hashtags to try out.

A good way to find new music if you're into less popular stuff is to go by the label. If you like an artist, check out the labels they've released their albums on! chances are that you'll find a few other artists you'll like too.
