How do you discover new music (beehaw.org)

I listen to music 3-6 hours a day and am the type of person who doesn't enjoy hearing the same song the same day or really the day after. Sites I've used for discovering new music were reddit and rateyourmusic.com.

Beyond that I do use Spotify song radios, but typically the song has to be far outside my standard genres to show me new music.

Whatdo others use to discover new music?

It used to be Discovery on whatever music app I'm subscribed to, but they have all turned awful for finding good music.

They always end up playing the same type of single creator synthesised music that presumably is cheaper per stream than big bands.

There are so many proper rock bands over the last 50 years, I just wish I knew how to find them.

Whenever I come across a new band I add their albums to my Plex, eventually I'll have enough to do my own discovery.
