Where do you discover new music? (feddit.org)

I used to discover a lot of new music on Youtube, actually.
If you watched a music video you liked, the algorithm recommended related stuff, but also threw you a curveball with <1000 views once in a while.
I stumbled upon a lot of great bands that way.

But nowadays, 3 videos in it'll all be AI slop, so I'm open to new ideas and willing to pay for a service, too.

  • Blogs/sites like Pitchfork for internationally hyped releases
  • Smaller sites for more local content
  • I check local calendars for release parties or concerts
  • I talk with my colleagues.
  • I go directly to labels that I trust and check out all of their new releases
  • I stop by my local record stores and ask the staff for a couple of album recs
  • I use the search functions of Bandcamp and follow a bunch of bands there
  • Ditto for Soundcloud, where the reposts of independent artists are especially useful for discovering other bands and musicians.
  • Recommendations from Qobuz or Spotify
  • I have a couple of radio stations that I spend a few hours with each week, like fip.fr, local student radio, local insert political leanings radio
