How do you find new music to listen to? (beehaw.org)

I’ve used both Apple Music and Spotify in recent years and while their discovery is okay, it always plays it safe. As if they’ve made a genre that is just for me and won’t play anything outside of that. How do I expand my music horizons?

I own an Alexa. Often, it doesn't understand me 100%, and instead play music based on the bits it could make out.

Gotta love the randomness! As the search is based on keywoards and not rhythm (differently from how I assume Spotify comes up with recommendations), I've discovered neat opera, rock, jazz, electronic, etc.

Although sometimes I really. just. need. to turn on my kitchen!
