...but how would I have been exposed to that music without the show?

How would I find music that I'll possibly love, but I won't be exposed to?

Doesn't have to be rock at all.

Yep my wife loved the french band Deluxe's "Flowers", amazing track right enough

The algorithm started suggesting stuff by a guy called Chinese Man, very odd, not our usual stuff but strangely likeable

Turns out he's the producer for Deluxe. Listened to a couple of his tracks that are kind electronica, the algo suggests more electronica which we skipped most of, the algo figures out what style we liked in that niche (to us) category.

And that's just one example, I've discovered hundreds of bands because of it

As bad as Enshittification is, some bits of it are incredible
