The hardest part for me in exploring new music is the ‘discovery’ process of new music that I like.

Most of the algorithms just want to reinforce giving me recommendations of either mixes of the same music, or just slightly different but overall still similar music in the same genre.

Like, who knows, I may really like scandinavian metal bands, but how much time will I realistically spend going out of my way to find it or get recommendations if I know nothing about it? Especially as one gets older with more obligations and has less time to spend.

Jesus fucking Christ did you really have an algorithm recommending new music in your youth?
