I mainly just use SoundCloud recommendations most of the time. Found some pretty obscure artists this way, but I'm interested in the methods you guys use.

There are multiple methods on how I manage to grind music discovery in my own time.

1. Constantly go through Spotify algorithm for suggested artists (almost 1000 different artists are followed by me currently).
2. Find music that other people are interested in, like if they post it on some music sharing channel on Discord for example.
3. Pure luck sometimes haha (Like randomly finding the song on another platform, such as Soundcloud and Bandcamp)

Listening to albums (and having a varied taste in music) can really help with trying to find songs if you are less into going through algorithm suggestions, no joke. I keep mentioning about my song taste over the web but sometimes it's just hard to describe and I barely mapped any songs that I found solely from these tastes and such lol

I would say the same as epicman2 though I'll add collaborative public playlists. Oh I almost forgot about this page that I found a while ago when looking for how to find new music basically lol. https://everynoise.com/everynoise1d.cgi?scope=all

rateyourmusic.com is my main site for tracking and finding new music.

I could swear I already answered this question but maybe not

mostly bandcamp and yt

back in the day also physical shops, like snatching cool-looking CDs whatnot, but that's not really a thing anymore the same way

Spotify and I can recommend Soundcloud to everyone cause there you can find songs which arent released on Spotify or you can just use YouTube!

usually spotify - y'know how you get those playlist that are "made for you".
but also Osu, and sometimes Tiktok :)

I also use osu! to do that. Mainly if I want to find a new Ranked map.

YouTube is the ultimate place to find music and I found a channel that contains a huge amount (like 200 of em') of NicoNicoDouga MAD's or so...They are basically YTPMV's, but more anime and harem? and more japanese live action shows ecchi...If u don't know wat I'm talking about, good stumbling upon one of these... xP

(Feel free to chat me if u wanna know which channel it has that..)

Go into public osu lobbies, or just go through the list of newly ranked maps

I'd probably take longer finding songs by going into multiplayer matches since you'd actually have to play the whole thing instead of listening to a small clip of it.

I use soundcloud as well! Also, the youtube mix of songs I listen to often, great way to discover more related songs.

usually i go on spotify and look at some good bands and related artists under the info, and half the time it does hit on the spot
Duck o-o
through artists that do features with others, it goes on forever o_o

eg: nanahira -> nekohacker -> ugoku chan
or tyler the creator -> frank ocean -> kanye
