There’s an ever-growing amount of music available today, a few taps (or clicks) away. I for one feel like there’s a lot of great music in many genres and styles, coming from many countries, and in many languages. And there’s always new, interesting stuff coming out regularly.
Whether a new release from an artist you like, or an old one you want to go back to, there are so many options to choose from at any given point in time. Yet we can only hear one at a time, so we must choose. So…
How do you choose what to listen to, and how do you keep up with everything you want to keep up with? Do you manage to listen to everything you want to on a regular basis? Do you instead choose to articially limit yourself to keep sane? Or is your music taste narrow enough this is of no worry?
Anymore I let new music drift towards me rather than go searching for it. Occasionally yt, while I’m listening to another song, will suggest something that might catch my eye. That’s pretty rare, but it also keeps me from overcrowding myself on crummy music. It’s how I’ve found some absolutely amazing vocaloid songs like Step Forward by Machwolf and even pretty good covers of songs I like, like the EstyDK cover of メルト ( melt ).
I also sometimes find good music while playing rhythm games like the Hatsune Miku Project Diva series or OSU.
