How do you discover new music?

[SkyKnight03]

I was getting frustrated with Spotify playing the same songs on shuffle today, when I realized it's probably my fault because I never switched up my playlist.

I'm mostly looking for suggestions on how others go about this. For me, I'll listen to an album and hit 'add to playlist' on every song that I like. That doesn't help with discovering new bands though.

personally, either recommendations or via video games.

I have an eclectic music taste I can only attribute to exploring YouTube. For example, when I found Moskau by Dschinghis Khan (from a SpongeBob YouTube poop, of all places) I started listening to more disco music, then disco music from various European countries, and so on.
I also have found a lot of folk music from various cultures on YouTube, as well as Blackmore’s Night and other interesting bands.

sometimes I let the Spotify algorithm take the wheel and I find some really good stuff that way I also use Shazam a lot when out and about.. and sometimes I will just click on random music videos on Youtube

I use YouTube like it's 2006 lol. It'll create mixes that usually have new songs that are similar to those that I've listened to.

i use spotify mostly. i'll make a playlist of songs that i like at the moment and use the recommendations to find more similar songs. it's worked pretty well for me tbh. that or i look up people's playlists. i also like using youtube recommendations too.

Usually through youtube sometimes i get the random rec on my feed and thats how i found out about musicans like bex or haarper for example.
