I follow a bunch of hash tags on Mastodon.
Community radio, my kids (and they find music through me too), YouTube music recommendations, opening bands at concerts, and sometimes NPR.
A simple combination of Spotify, searching for recommendations, as in "artists similar to _____," checking out AllMusic for a brief overview and maybe which album to start with.
Theuppermostinlife curates a bunch of music they like, and I share some of their taste so that's where I get a bunch of new stuff from.
Mostly through movies/tv shows or sometimes NPR Tiny Desk
I subscribe to the digital stream of radio stations through my podcast app. WFUV out of New York City, WXRV out of I don't know where, some random station out of Sydney, Australia I stumbled on that has an EDM DJ on at the same time I'm waking up on the weekends.
I also have Spotify, but I tend to get better recommendations from real human DJs at radio stations.
Bandcamp Features
At the moment? Watching Anime. A few years ago? Watch music videos of songs I already know on youtube and see what the algorithm spits out.
Yoasobi slaps.
A friend recommended pitchfork yesterday to me. Haven't gotten around to it though
Bandcamp follows and whatever is playing on CBC music.
I used to use r/listentothis, haven't in a long time though, not even out of "fuck you reddit" just busy I think.
