How does one find new enjoyable music?
| Tbh, with Muse you are raising the bar fairly high. I would probably recommend listening outside of your "comfort zone", you might find something you might like. Muse is also one of my absolute favourite bands (although I do prefer their early albums), and I found the expansion to math- or psychedelic-rock a natural avenue of exploration after listening to them almost exclusively for months but it might work differently for you.
| Have you tried Radiohead? (not all albums will be good for you but some will be great if you'll dig it). Also, it might sound strange but try listening to Beatles (Revolver is a pretty decent sounding album for almost anyone). Try out Queen if you still didn't. Also, Pixies would be a notable mention but I don't know if their sound would be for your taste.
| Cream, quicksilver messenger service, led zepplin(duh), king crimson, frank zappa
| Yeah, comparing anything To Muse is impossible. Don't do that.
Queen, but that's obvious. I don't like Radiohead despite liking Muse, but maybe? The Killers, Arctic Monkeys, and The Strokes might sound generic next to Muse, but try them out.
If you use Spotify, there's Song Radio feature where they'll choose and play similarish song after a song you choose. Maybe you'll find something you'll like.
| You should listen to Girls Generation. Should be just what you're looking for.
| I like indie, surf, psych and garage rock. The best source of new music I've recently discovered is reverberationradio.com. Compiled by one of my favorite bands, their taste is excellent and diverse. They're at episode #321 now with each weekly episode consisting of about 10 songs, no talking and freely available.
| >>326947 will look in that direction. What is your favourite album and song though? I absolutely love absolution (pun intended) and the song should be butterflies and hurricanes along with new born and bliss. Hard to pick one.
| >>326955 tried listening to revolver, didn't quite like it. I mean it was ok, but songs didn't catch my attention. Also yea, I've tried getting into radiohead but I'm not into their rhythm.
| >>331186 I meant that after listening to Muse for months it became really hard for me to enjoy new songs. I dont compare anything :p.
I don't like the way Song Radio feature suggests songs. For me it usually plays songs that are well-known and not quite similar. Similar in genre I think, but not in style.
| people still listen to rock?
| >>332588
What should they listen to instead? There
's literally hundreds of modern rock bands who are coming up with new stuff, some inspired by the old days, some not. Besides, rock has alot different of subgenres.
| Ok op here's an important question: what's your opinion on J-Rock?
>>332494
Ayy I've been there. Got over it by branching the heck out to other genres. Anything you like outside of alt rock?
| Eurobeat is the answer
| >unironically enjoying music
| >implying music exists
| I'd recommend Brand New. Start with Deja Entendu, then The Devil and God are raging inside me (I know...edgy). Also, Listen to Radiohead's album Ok Computer, it's one of my favorites.
| I kind of felt like op when I got into Avant-Garde Metal (Sigh, Unexpected, Polkadot Cadaver...), everything else started to feel dumb and archaic. I think bands like Pink Floyd were amazing for their time, but now we have better stuff that many people ignores.
Eventually I recovered my interest in other genres like Punk, Folk and Chiptune, but I still really like bands that mix genres wildly, like Panzerballet or Diablo Swing Orchestra.
| By the way, one way to find good bands that are somehow similar to your favorite bands is using specialized search engines like www.music-map.com, or subscribing to RSS feeds of sites dedicated to the genres you like.

geez i used to like muse but lately they've gone to trash-tier. what worked for me was trying genres i dont listen to and learn to appreciate them. note that while you can appreciate them, you might not like them.
i also proposed to listen to just one genre for a week and so on, like, i had a jazz week where i would only listen to jazz, an emo week, a punk week, an ambient week and so on, listening only bands from that genre. it helps looking for obscure artists
| You either need to dig deeper or branch out. Use Pandora or Spotify suggestions to figure out new songs similar to what you like. Pandora is particularly useful if you look under why a particular song is being played you can figure out what aspects of the songs appeal to you. Use those and apply them to other genres. Also EveryNoise is useful too. Make a Spotify Playlist of your favorite songs and see what it suggests. Or just pick a completely different genre and explore.

| So, I am currently in a state in which I can't enjoy any new music. Everything seems so boring and dull to me, compared to my favourite band. How to deal with it? It's been going on for over 6 months now.
Am into rock, favourite band is Muse
