Oh god. Way too much Eastern European man in love with himself and way too little French Bulldog singing.

I mean, it’s easier to find new music when you’re younger—I discovered stuff more frequently when I was in college because I was around lots of people, working at a radio station, had few calls on my time other than school and a greater portion of my income was disposable. But that’s an effect of getting older in…

When I watched the commercial what they are really advertising is a service that will take things you loved in 1996 and give you more things from 1996, although I guess if you put in something that was hyped in the last cycle they will show you something being hyped in this cycle. There is so much new music all the…

Mr. Werner and I dabble as musicians, and we’ve had extensive conversations about this in the past couple of years. It isn’t just you. The way music is mixed has completely changed over the past 10+ years. Midtones are shoved to the front of the track, and everything sounds flat and mushy. One of our theories is that…

I, as a mid-30s male, completely relate to you. The local radio stations aren’t that helpful, even the one that does play new indie-type music. I think my tastes are really varied, but I have no idea how I found the newer / recent bands that I’m really into like Chvrches, The War on Drugs, Run the Jewels, Dawes.

They don’t sound horrible; actually, they sound like some of my friends! Except we’re in our mid 30s to early 40s. I did the drugs back in college, and it’s not really my thing anymore. And due to a medication I’m taking, I can’t drink. So, I’m the biggest party pooper ever! The only bright spot is I’m actually…

I find most of my music via 8tracks. I type in the keywords of what I am feeling/looking for, and then let it play.

I realized the other day that my music taste basically runs to the stoner/trippy/raver/hardcore gangster rap style....and I do none of those things. So...maybe that’s a good place to try? It works for…

As a guy, I can totally relate to this. I mean, if forces of nature like Kendrick Lamar and Sufjan Stevens put out music, I'll eventually find out about it, but beyond that, I'm clueless so I stick to discovering Prince albums I don't already own. I still don't know what an Ed Shareen is. Way to assume I know this…

That’s more a function of growing older rather than what sex you are. I’ve always been musically curious because I was encouraged to be that way when I was young. I’ve been exposed to different kinds of music all my life and my taste ranges far and wide. Even things like Babymetal!(Japanese pop chicks over heavy…

Hey, I’m much the same way with music and struggled for a long time to find new musicians or new things I enjoy without having it recommended to me by a friend. Something I found helpful is TasteKid, where you put in what you like and it spits out recommendations.... Another is to go to a song I like on YouTube, click…

I mean most of how I find new music is through pandora and suggestions from friends. So it’s not difficult but I think in general as people age they keep listening to the band’s they did on college while adding in some new stuff that is popular on the radio. I don’t think it’s specific to men or women I think it’s…

I find a lot of music on Youtube, on the “related videos” column. I will usually do a music trawl every 3 or 4 months, and just spend 3 hours looking for music that sounds good, then directly downloading it though the youtube-mp3 converters. It’s a good way to find cool covers and non-mainstream songs. I mean, Lindsey…

Oh, how does it go?

Back in my college days I could browse people’s music libraries via Napster. I was introduced to so many new bands and genres that way (and bought more music as a result).

One of the biggest ways I find new music is commercials and TV shows. Thanks to the internet, if I hear something that grabs me, I can usually find the musician and check out more of their music in just a few minutes.

Apple tries to do the curation thing with the Beats 1 “station”, with a bunch of DJs.

Try listening to BBC Radio 6. It’s a digital/streaming station, so you can get it anywhere.

This. Everybody finds it hard to find new music. It’s not just a woman thang. I am a (female) musician, and I find new music from NPR, Radio Paradise, WFUV, other public radio stations that can be streamed, and Facebook reccos from my musically adventurous pals. My male musician friends do the same. We all complain…

I think he very poorly tried to address the fact that most music playlists and listening services seem to be focused on men. I am not hip enough to “find music” well on my own, so was often trying to discover the music suggested on Spotify and before that Pandora. It was usually pop drivel or whiny-men indie bands. To…

I totally understand where you’re coming from, and I think there are a lot of people who do struggle with finding new music. But I don’t buy at all that it is limited to women, even if that’s how it shakes out amongst your friends.
