Agreed, there are a handful of good radio stations out there. I also listen to a few shows on BBC Radio 6 Music and browse around on Bandcamp when Spotify’s discovery gets stale. Once you manually find some new stuff and like it in Spotify, it wakes up Spotify’s discovery algorithms and a new flow of music comes in.

Keep using discover weekly and be sure to like the songs you like. Spotify gets better the more you train it by liking songs.

Don’t worry about genres. It will put you in a box and make you closed minded like 99.9% of the people who are asking you that question. If someone asks me what kind of music I like I basically tell them my tastes go all over the spectrum. If they ask me to name some stuff, I do and they have no clue who any of them are and end the conversation.

What ever you do, don’t worry about being judged by others for your music tastes. Most people listen to top 40 trash and miss out on the good stuff. Or they will claim modern music sucks when actually they are lumping all modern music with top 40 trash.
