I know the kind of stuff I tend to gravitate towards. But often when looking for new artists, 99% does jack **** for me, and then these handful of artists come along I like and I instantly know I will fall in love with those if listened more. Then there's often more which I only start to like if I force myself to listen to them more and remember the songs, but I don't know this prior. Then I always start to wonder, why are these artists doing something for me but others not? How can I recognize early on which new artists to skip and which I should hold around when there's so many bands and time is easy to waste?

Often when I come up with some kind of characteristic that makes me like them over the others, some kind of other artist comes up that contradicts that statement. In Video Games, I know exactly what kind of things I like and don't like, and can easily differentiate different kinds of execution and contexts. In them I can analyze them and describe what is going on and easily see differences between games. In Music, I understand jack ****. It clicks or it doesn't, but I rarely know what to invest time into so it clicks later. Most of the time things don't click right away and need to grow. But most bands are so meh that if I keep looking for more music I often turn overexposed and get mad when I hear any kind of music for a while.

Trying to find new music can be a pain in the ass at times.
