How do you discover new music

I listen to music 3-6 hours a day and am the type of person who doesn't enjoy hearing the same song the same day or really the day after. Sites I've used for discovering new music were reddit and rateyourmusic.com.

Beyond that I do use Spotify song radios, but typically the song has to be far outside my standard genres to show me new music.

Whatdo others use to discover new music?

Bandcamp via the Tags system can really yield some great results. It's got a virtual feel equivalent to browsing through a physical record store.

I basically just poke around until I find something I like then check the tags at the bottom of a release. Click the tag and then browse that for other stuff.

I've been having fun using the location tags. I like to pick a major city far away from me and see what's popular from there

Oh dude you'd really like radio.garden. Let's you browse radio stations geographically. Super fun to use
