thank you everyone for your help!! it means a lot to me <3 i'll try all of your suggestions!

I'm super vain and pick usually based on how they look. The kind of music I like generally has a tangible aesthetic to it, so I usually know what I'm in for before I try them.

Other times I just try sample vids in the news section and am often introduced to things that I normally wouldn't have tried on my own.

Last method is that I try bands related to bandmen of groups I already like. It's surprising at how different some people's careers are in 10 years  

I go with bands I like, and look up their live sets and see who else they've played with, then I check them out. I also just pick random bands I've read about and try them out.
