...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.

I fucking hate YouTube Music, but the discovery algorithm is undeniable brilliant, even compared to Spotify

It takes maybe six months of skipping tracks you don't like and fully listening to ones you do to teach it, but after that it's pretty amazing

I share an account with my wife who has a hugely different taste, but it manages to find stuff we both like

ReVanced is the way

Lol, I look forward to good results by the end of the year? Maybe not the best algorithm after all.

I personally don't have one particular way of discovering new music. It's a mix of suggestions from different apps or friends. Shazam during movies and TV also helps guide some discoveries. Also just clicking through a rabbit hole of suggestions and marking stuff you like for future digging.

The algorithm will figure your rough taste out in a day.

But like most things in life, you'll find patience does amazing things
