how often do you say “kek” to yourself? you do realize you are mentally ill, right?

YouTube rabbit holes are the best way these days. Scouring Bandcamp 2nd best.

The youtube algorithm occasionally has phases where it isn't retarded and suggests some good shit

Read "The Wire"

Use discogs, look at the labels or specific people

https://www.thewire.co.uk/issues/charts/

my 3 main sources are
last.fm - the front page gives pretty good suggestions of things based on your listening, and artist and album pages give similar artist/similar album suggestions
discogs - when I find something I like I always look it up on Discogs and their cross-referencing is autistically good. you can click the people involved in a given project, see what they did in other bands, see who else they worked with, who else was on their unheard of little label 30 years ago etc. plus you get the usual "similar to" section of stuff the site is suggesting, all are good features for rabbitholing
youtube - the youtube algo is underrated for music and youtube has a far, far bigger selection of weird and obscure shit than anywhere else and its not even close. it constantly shows me stuff I would never have found anywhere else. then you explore the channel of the uploader and hit the occasional goldmine
I suppose I still very occasionally find new stuff here too, though thats getting much rarer these days and is usually just me randomly deciding to check something from a chart thread out because the cover looks interesting

listen to midwest pen pals, its not that obscure but i like it

>>130564982
You need a dedicated YouTube account in a browser you only use to mine recommendations.
Load up every single obscure song you already have and make it into playlists.
Play one playlist then the next.
Press Not Interested on anything with more than 999 views that shows up.
Remove songs you didn't like from your watch history.
Do this for between 3 to 10 days.
Eventually YouTube will break and start giving you stuff that you really want.
It's work but a properly tamed algorithm is incredibly powerful.

Fuck off.

>last.fm - the front page
last.fm is the correct answer, but the front page is complete bullshit. You have to go on some old forum where people still linked their last.fm and just look through all the profiles that haven't been active in 10 years. And then listen to whatever top albums of theirs you don't know.

Social media had truly killed curiosity

the front page is only bullshit if you have a load of embarrassing lowbrow plebeian trash in your listening history, so its clear why you had that experience.
in my case though, having been deep in the patrician scene since before I made my account on last and only having good music in my library, the front page often has good suggestions.
