Its a mix. Finding new music is difficult and time consuming. But sometimes I actively try to find "new" stuff. But being in my late 40s that means basically anything less then 10 years old.

Back in "the olden days" the sieve of radio made me listen to a lot of stuff and I could pick what I liked. Post listening to the radio (because these days they are all either just playing the same stuff or gone).

But with a little effort I've found stuff.

I've recently found Bury Tomorrow and I'm liking a lot of their stuff.

On another genre side I've found Hugo Kant and really dig his stuff a lot as well.

I also found a throw back sort of trip hop band called Mirrors for Princes that I like though they don't have many songs.

Listen to a heap of new stuff, as well as a lot of old stuff.

Picking up the guitar to learn start of last year has put me on a journey of exploration into several areas and a lot of new music

I sometimes go and search for lists of new artists of the music genres I like to listen to, but most of the time I just end up listening to the same band, composer, etc I've been listening since my teens.

I'm not closed to "new" music, but I rarely get attached to anything new, so I end up listening to the same things almost every day.

I still listen to new music, but most of it is related to stuff I listened to as a kid. I was big into 90's alt rock, and there's so much of it that I keep finding stuff I hadn't listened to from that era. Right now Butthole Surfers have been getting a lot of play; they were always kinda on my radar, but the name really put me off. Can't believe I missed out for this long.

I've always liked folk punk and alternative country, but there wasn't a ton of it when I was younger. Now there's so much more so I've been discovering lots of new bands. Blackbird Raum is pretty great, and Amigo the Devil might be one of my new favorites.

Nah my tastes are all over the place, but finding new new bands is kinda hard, and I never make time to actually do it. My s.o. has impeccable taste luckily so she's always showing me new stuff, most of it is older, deep cuts etx, but like you said it's new to me. I'm just starting to cycle back into stuff I listened to 10 years ago though. It's nostalgic and still amazing.

i listen to the same genre of music i listened to as a teenager, which is, music for teenagers (receipts in profile links)

I still discover new music, there is plenty of good music nowadays, i like fontaines dc, wet leg, squid, mac Demarco, Altin gün, the chats, la femme, parquet courts, lcd soundsystem.

Which are all active today.

Where most of my friends are getting stuck listening to the same music they've been listening to when they were young I try to actively look for the new artists/styles too. Not everyday of course, but definitely at least one a month.

I still browse Rateyourmusic for new releases that seem interesting, but less and less seems interesting to me nowadays. Maybe that's the first sign of me getting old...

I found out power metal was a thing right as the pandemic was starting and it's just been a constant stream of new music to listen too I've found since then. I do have a couple go to bands though.

Okay, the old saying "horses for courses" comes to mind...

Yes, I actively search out new and wonderful music, and listen to it, and like it. Problem is that a lot of current music just sounds bad, either over- or under-produced, and i'm going deaf.

Last new music I really loved was Christine and the Queens, and that's almost ten years ago!!!

But, and here's the rub, when I want to sit here on a lovely summers evening drinking some cider with my spouse, I'll mostly put on music from 30+ years ago. Frank and Walters, New Order, Biggie, The Cure, MC Solaar...

Mostly? its because I know it, and as sounds become ever more remote to me and my brain, I can rely on my memories to fill in the bits I can't hear any more.

all the time. I have a problem. I'm always seeking the next mindblowing album experience. gotta go back to the trieds and trues occasionally!
