how do you find new music? i feel like you've never even once posted a song i recognized (which makes sense because i'm terrible at finding new music but it's still impressive)

there's a few ways I go about it! here's a bit of a battery on that

as much as actually using it for intended function is the mindkiller, rateyourmusic is very handy for browsing for stuff that may or may not be on conventional streaming platforms. people love to curate and recommend, and if you find people whose taste you agree with (or lists that pertain to stuff you're curious about) you can sift through until you find something cool

I'd say lastfm is also decent for this, but if you're just looking for new music, it overlaps rym for this use case enough that you'd probably only really have reason to use it if you got something out of scrobbling

bandcamp's another good one, both for ease of publishing when it comes to getting smaller albums online and for the way that profiles work. if scrolling through tags you're interested in and clicking on releases doesn't get you what you're after, you can always click people's profiles and see what else they're buying

if you're into more underground genres, there's probably some indie labels dedicated to them somewhere out there. if you can find an indie label that's agreeable enough in its signings for your taste, then you can keep up with them that way. genre specialised labels can be a godsend here

I find following tape-focused indie labels to be great for metal because there's inherently a selection process of "the label owner likes this album enough to want to prepare a tape run for it," and if your tastes align with the label owner's, you can get some great selections that way

keeping up with the musicians themselves is another big one. if the genre you're after is played live, look at who your favourite musicians are sharing stages with, check who they're shouting out on instagram, generally just keep up with them on social media to see what they're up to

and of course, keep up with your friends. discovering music can absolutely be a social activity. have some friends you shoot recommendations to, have them shoot recommendations back to you, and get increasingly focused-in on each other's musical tastes as you go
