Do you listen to any new bands? Or just same as 10 years ago? (beehaw.org)

I have some friends my age still listening to the same bands they used to 20 years ago, complaining about how music today sounds all the same. However I discover something new almost every day and I'm not kidding.

It's true that some of my discoveries are bands from decades before I was born, so they can't be considered new, although they are new to me if that makes sense.

What about you? Still listening to the same tunes you used to listen to when you were a teenager?

I am super into consuming new and contemporary music (mainly pop and R&B). I traditionally used a subreddit to follow all of the new releases, so I'll have to see how to stay as current all things considered.

My listening habits usually revolve around rotating the new stuff ad nauseam until all meaning and emotion is gone, then accepting more new music as it releases.

I love looking at my yearly top 100 song playlists and shuffling them for some spice.

KEXP and BBC Radio 6 are great for pop/indie music. Have you tried them?
