How often do you try to find new music and how do you do it?

Question

Does it come to you more often than you seek it out?

This site actually helps me find a lot of new ones. I don't really seek out new music to listen to so much and mostly just listen to the same stuff over and over. But then maybe someone asks a Q on here like what's your favorite song, or do you like thrash metal (then I'm like, "what's that? [Google search, listen to the songs]" Then I'm like, "Hell yeah, I like thrash metal!"

I like this one. I found it on my own starting with some advertisement featuring South American EDM music for a sports advertisement, and then there was this long-winded for me to find what the song was, and then finally I found it, and then I discovered a site with similar music, and then I found one song that I liked even better than the commercial song, and then I looked up the artist... then I sorta liked the artist but I fell out of love and then I discovered he made a remix album the other day and I listened to it at Costco and thought the entire thing was awesome.

I'm basically looking for music almost everyday.

Finding the music that you don't know about yet but that you will like is an excellent undertaking. What a delightful thing it is to find the music you need or like at that moment. The music that will fit that moment of your day or life.

I feel I've been in a music binge for the last 5 years. The internet feels like this seemingly infinite mine of music gems, new and old. You can keep digging and you'll just never run out. Couple this with the fact that you can now easily hold thousands of songs in your pocket, to be played for yourself or other people, anywhere

Very regularly. I am always out on Youtube and I have figured out how to download music video files and convert them to MP3 format for free. This is particularly useful when an artist has a great live performance but has not been commercially released.

I am an American with SiriusXM satellite radio and often listen to Spa, SiriusXMU, and Canadian music stations in my car.

Spa is the kind of relaxation music you will not hear on normal radio.
SiriusXMU is like college radio which is great stuff.
Canadian music is often very good but we don't hear much of it in the US.

If I hear something of interest, I will often take a picture of the screen in my car so I remember the song and artist.

I then go to YouTube to check out the artist.

YouTube then will often give me other suggestions of comparable songs and artists.

I've learned of quite a few artists like this. For instance Suuns and Diane Arkenstone.

Also, though, my hunt down music from commercials. Ispot. tv helps with that.
For instance, I discovered LookLA and their song "The King Is Dead" from a Jaguar F-Pace commercial in 2019. I looked them up and discovered other great songs of theirs. Also, Vitalic whose "Poison Lips" was used when Amazon was advertising fashion about 3 years ago.

Usually I stumble upon it by accident. Sometimes I find new music by going on the Black Metal Promotion youtube channel when he adds new albums on there. Every week there is some new band to discover. I also go to Bandcamp and find similar artists.

Besides Black Metal I listen to old school punk. A lot of those bands no longer release music. The ones that do, I wait for the release and buy it on vinyl.

DizzyDesii · Answer

I dont. I prefer late 60s to early 2000s but i listen to some of everything after as well. I like listening to the radio on the weekends or occasionally watching the cable Music Choice channels… so thats really how i find out about new music.

I usually find new music randomly, I don't have a set method, sometimes my youtube algorithms gives a worthwhile recommendation, sometimes I hear something I like in a video and go searching for the song, other times a friend will recommend a song or a band... there's not a set formula for me, I just keep my ears open to anything new and interesting and the media I consume usually offers something worth checking out.

Madhatter920 · Answer

It's very rare I seek out new music. I honestly don't listen to music much. But when I do get in the mood, I'll turn on pandora and it'll suggest new songs. Or I stumble upon songs through youtube. Sometimes I even find songs I like in video games.

NathanDavis · Answer

every time I meet someone. I'll ask them about music, eventually or right away... that's how I prefer to do it

Blackcupcake · Answer

I just hear random songs, I like it and add it to my playlist. Or people will send song recommendations to me and if I end up liking it I add it to my playlists too

asianfreak · Answer

I find it here and there, old and new once in awhile. And if I feel certain songs are exceptionally good, I’ll listen to them more frequently. I’m not one to follow artists and bands; I’m more for good music overall. But I digress.

Dude_777 · Answer

Too lazy to find new ones, or most new ones don't interest me.  I just seek recommendation from people here and there or use JioSaavn, SoundCloud or billboard top charts etc.

Nikki1989 · Answer

I visit a lot of music review sites on YouTube for recommendations.

Anonymous · Answer

I ask recommendations from friends, then digest my own choices. But my friends listen a lot of international and old music.

Fuentes · Answer

Sometimes mostly rare now because of how fruity rap & hip hop have become

Aimée__LJ · Answer

Usually just listen to recommended songs once a week on Spotify and I usually find a couple I like from there

Open2It · Answer
