How do you discover new music to listen to without submitting to the big tech algorithm?
>>122577345Just find out who your favorite artists were influenced by and work your way backwards. Reading interviews and quotes from people whose music you already respect is much more helpful than reading lists and reviews on RYM.
look in the /mu/ archives, search for OPs with genre keywords.Also youtube's recommended is not all that bad if you're very strict with the "Do not recommend this again" button. I've found some nice albums on there.
>>122577345I live near a record store that's filled with stuff DJs have discarded over the years. I've found plenty of great music there that I would have never otherwise encountered online.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3_7F7artN4
Search RYM in your favorite subgenres in the years and decades after their peak popularity. Odds are, you'll find a lot of really good stuff you would've missed otherwise. Like this:https://youtu.be/32SkMIkqGC0

>>122577345my local used bookstore also sells audio CDs. I listen to a lot of international/non english music as a result mostly atmospheric and mediterranean. Been getting hard into greek/tukrish folktales since I got a bunch of old (really old, 1910s) vinyls of greek chamber music that I'm progressively getting through
Friends, and what they play at the pub

>>122578181This has been one of my favorite ways of finding music throughout the years. In the 2000s and 2010s, you would come out of a thrift store with armfuls of albums
>>122577345Check out random albums from the library and rip them at home.
