I’ve used both Apple Music and Spotify in recent years and while their discovery is okay, it always plays it safe. As if they’ve made a genre that is just for me and won’t play anything outside of that. How do I expand my music horizons?

    Mostly just fumbling around with any online service where music is available. Sometimes I’ll go to find a piece of music I already like, and see where the suggestions lead me. Othertimes I might read about an artist am into, then try to listen to work by those they list as influences, and who has listed them as influences.

    Sometimes I just hear stuff out in the world and come home and try to find it - usually successfully.
