It is my opinion that it is actually quite easy to find good new music, and the only thing you really need is a sincere intention to seek out new music, and a willingness to listen to new music when it is recommended to you.

Both "Wild Pink" and "Slow Pulp" are bands I learned about in the past week, and I'm enjoying their music quite a bit. Check 'em out!

I think a lot of people like ***the abstract idea*** of discovering new music. But when they actually have the choice to listen to the entire corpus of recorded music, they default back to the familiar shit. If you want new things, you have to be willing to try new things!

I think there's nothing wrong with sticking with what you know! I just think that people complain that it's hard to find new music, when the main impediment is their disinclination to affirmatively choose to listen to new music.

I benefit greatly from wise friends' reccs. But I struggle to establish an emotional valence that competes with "I'm on my third all-nighter, having a dance party." Could try harder.
