You have to go out and find it these days. The streaming platforms are pushing what's already popular or dictating to you what should be popular.

You may have to get out and hit small clubs and venues to find new stuff. And when you do find something worthwhile, buy their albums, buy their merchandise so they can continue.

So I guess radio is dead? There is no new music only "classics" since it's been about 10 years at least since something new was played.

I guess I've been in a cave for too long. It just seems like music has been segmented into streaming services that you need to pay for, or be on a computer. This really is depressing since if you don't already know a band you have little chance of just being able to listen and come across new music.

Radio for the most part is dead. I personally blame the radio consolidations, Clear Channel then later iHeart Media. They've effectively sanitized the market with their Playlists. You're best bet is small indie stations that will play the deep cuts or highlight new up and comers, but those are hard to find these days.
