music discovery

Exploring new artists

Music discovery is the process of finding new songs, artists, or genres you haven't heard before.

The term gained prominence with streaming services that use algorithms to suggest tracks based on listening habits: Spotify's Discover Weekly playlist changed my music discovery.

It can also happen through friends, radio, or simply stumbling onto something unfamiliar: Half the fun of record stores was music discovery.
