We're in the best time to listen to music. There's amazing stuff out there. It just doesn't come to you automatically, you've got to seek it out.
Now, it's a pretty bad time to be an artist trying to make a living. But it's also the easiest time to DIY music.
What has helped me with this was seeking out local bands and seeing them live. Check out local bars with live music nights or open mics, wander around the biggest city in your area and look for interesting flyers and stickers, or [other useful advice]. As a bonus, when you find bands you like they often play shows with bands that are of a genre you'd never seek out yourself.
