It also feels like these things are making me more musically illiterate.

You see enough Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Imaginal Discs and the twenty yearly Trhä albums as super highly praised and something every music nerd should listen to, and forget what kind of music most people actually like... which if you go by the spotify charts, is a lot of slop! And if you go by the radio, it's mostly the same stuff since 1995.

It's Rateyourmusic, a website. It's known for "RYMcore", which is very popular among its users - if you sort by the top albums of the year, you will find new music, but skewed toward predictable genres.

Basically music curation through 30 year old white American nerds who LOVE Radiohead.
