I’m 38, and I don’t think my exposure to and discovery of music has ever been so high. I joined a metal discord last year (though my favorite album of the year so far is actually chamber folk / Americana from a recommendation there): * general recommendations * seeing what other people listen to * "themed history months" (Screamarch for Screamo, Finlapril for Finnish metal etc.), * sampling of any new release that seems slightly interesting (usually about 20 releases per week that I spend a few seconds to minutes with to gauge my enjoyment) All those expose me to a constant stream of new and old music that I usually never even heard of before. But then, not using streaming services probably makes me a statistical outlier anyway.
