…but how would I have been exposed to that music without the show?
How would I find music that I’ll possibly love, but I won’t be exposed to?
Doesn’t have to be rock at all.

I fucking hate YouTube Music, but the discovery algorithm is undeniable brilliant, even compared to Spotify
It takes maybe six months of skipping tracks you don’t like and fully listening to ones you do to teach it, but after that it’s pretty amazing
I share an account with my wife who has a hugely different taste, but it manages to find stuff we both like
ReVanced is the way
If you do find artists you like on Youtube (as in people who actually run their own channels) they might collaborate with other interesting artists too on some songs. That is a great way to find new artists.
Yep my wife loved the french band Deluxe’s “Flowers”, amazing track right enough
The algorithm started suggesting stuff by a guy called Chinese Man, very odd, not our usual stuff but strangely likeable
Turns out he’s the producer for Deluxe. Listened to a couple of his tracks that are kind electronica, the algo suggests more electronica which we skipped most of, the algo figures out what style we liked in that niche (to us) category.
And that’s just one example, I’ve discovered hundreds of bands because of it
As bad as Enshittification is, some bits of it are incredible
Lol, I look forward to good results by the end of the year? Maybe not the best algorithm after all.
I personally don’t have one particular way of discovering new music. It’s a mix of suggestions from different apps or friends. Shazam during movies and TV also helps guide some discoveries. Also just clicking through a rabbit hole of suggestions and marking stuff you like for future digging.
The algorithm will figure your rough taste out in a day.
But like most things in life, you’ll find patience does amazing things
Really? It’s way worse than spotify for me. It pretty much plays the same set of songs whenever it autoplays no matter what it’s trying to base the autoplay on.
