Don't stream music by the way, unless you're a normie who listens to top 40 pop rap or urban outfitters core

you posted a memerapper so I feel disgusted spoonfeeding you

Find a youtube channel that supports underground artists - i.e Astari

if you feel like your taste is basic and you want artists of similar genres, then rateyourmusic and last.fm can be good.

Agree.

And if you're patient and aren't lazy; go to a record store.
If you spend time there you might find some albums that you will like.

lmao what?

>>73072606
my apologies for wanting access to hundreds of albums on my phone and computer in a simple and effective way, I'll try to keep my autism from flaring up in the future

Fuck off

last.fm (explore genre tags and similar artists)
RYM (genre-specific charts function, lists)
Discogs (other projects of band members)
Soulseek (but if you don't share you'll get banned)
Youtube (video suggestions next to uplod of album you like)

This, streaming is disgusting and lazy. Show some dedication - start actually collecting music.

i swear "the internet" peaked around '03. People were still excited and made the effort to search & maybe since speeds weren't fast enough..it was a sweet spot to preview stuff in lo-res & buy what you really like.

I know this doesn't answer you. but now it's beyond easy...it's like holding a book in front of someone & they want you to turn the pages...not trying to sound dickish but its so
so
so
easy now

This is true. Youth today are so bad at using the internet. That is the true reason why streaming services are bad - they make you lazy and complacent. You don't want to put in work to find new music and start your own personal collection, you just want to be entertained.

>>73073177
I stream pretty much exclusively but collect vinyl of albums that I really like. You seriously can't get mad at people for using a service that makes listening to outrageous amounts of music as easy as just searching and pressing play. People will always be attracted to the easier option.

>People will always be attracted to the easier option
Yes and as a result they will get lazier and lazier and the result of their work (their music collection or taste) will reflect that laziness.

>>73073689
the human race is becoming lazier in literally every aspect of life as technology advances. don't expect music to be an exception

Exactly, that is the problem. However, the solution is not to accept and embrace it, obviously.

I don't go out of my way to find 2017 music since most of it is shit. The good stuff will find me.

the bandcamp feed is an underrated way to find music. you get an account, and then you find other users accounts to follow, and your feed gets filled with whatever they're buying. you can find a lot of musicians on there, Dan Snaith (Caribou), his username is just dansnaith and he has great taste.

oh look, it's that 50 year old guy that hates technology

hows that heroin addiction doing you?

>>73073825
you're on 4chan, sitting in front of a computer. that's like a "communist" complaining about capitalism on twitter while eating a Big Mac.

>>73073825
okay well you have fun deliberately making life harder for yourself while alienating yourself from literally every other human being

>>73072584
What's your favorite album or an artist you like?
Go on discogs and look them up, then click one of the the record labels. From on the label page see what other artists were being put out by that label around the time that the material you were interested in was being released. You can keep doing this to find artists you like.

>>73073177
This guy knows what he's talking about

>>73074036
You don't like capitalism, heh kid? I guess you hate your parents that were made in a capitalist country.
