find an artist you like, scroll down to the "people also listen to" section, and just add every song from every one of these artists to a playlist. once you begin to recognize the songs, sort them into other playlists. this is a very good way to discover new types of music in my opinion. especially if you discover an artist of a specific genre and you want to find out more about this genre.

every time i hear a good clip on social media or hear someone talk about an artist that sounds interesting i add the song or artist to a playlist called new + untested to go to when i want to try something new. best way to constantly be discovering new music.

I usually search for playlist with a similar vibe I'm going for to see what they've added and get inspo. Look at related artists to the ones already in the playlist, and create a radio station out of the songs to automatically get recommended similar songs! Just click around and listen and explore!! You can also look at the genres of the songs that have your vibe and explore those (everynoise is a cool website to explore genres with).
Most of all try to let it evolve, you will come across songs eventually that'll fit perfectly and you can add them as they come. Let your playlists grow over months and years, it doesn't have to be all done in one go!! :)

These aren't curated playlists, they're just a collection of any new songs I discover and really like, or old songs I re-fall in love with. I then give each playlist a name that references how I feel or an event that happened that month. I was in a similar place to you a couple of years ago, but I've found doing this really helps me track my tastes and experiences every month, which I find is quite helpful in our streaming-dominated musicscape.
When I used to actually download songs, it was easy to scroll through my library and be reminded of artists I'd forgotten about or had only listened to a couple of times. I've found that with streaming its really easy to lose track of who you listen to and enjoy, so it really flattens everything and causes you to either rely on the algorithm or your go-to past artists.
As far as discovering new artists goes, there are still a few reliable sites and publications that review new albums (paste, gorilla vs. bear, pitchfork (sort of), etc.). I also like following or signing up for email newsletters (gasp!) from specific indie record labels that I enjoy. If you like several artists on the label, then chances are you'll like more, and they always notify you when something new is being released. Same goes for local venues. Check out the small stage acts coming through or various openers, even if you don't actually make it to the show. This is also a great way to get plugged into the local scene and it keeps you young, sort of.

i actually just made a list of my favorites right before i saw this! out of them, i'd recommend airbuds, cara, and last.fm the most!
airbuds is an app/site where you can see what music your friends are listening to and you can make a cool profile of music recommendations
cara is an app/site for artists with a great algorithm and i would use it more if i had more art to post and if people i knew were more active on it
last.fm is a music analytics website (they have an app but its not as good as the website) that goes pretty in depth about the music you listen to and recommends you some music too!
