By how they discover new music
>Spotify/Tidal/Deezer recommendations
Are the likeliest to fall under the spell of FoTMs and the latest industry plants without realizing it. Will gladly talk to you about the merits of acts such as Girl in Red or Peggy Gou
>Youtube algorithms
Know all about city-pop, japanese jazz (actually just Ryo Fukui and Casiopea), and slavic fusion from the 70s. Don't care much for anything else, but they don't need to anyway.
>Tiktok hits
Can barely be labeled as ''music listeners'', given just how much time they spend with completely butchered versions of already questionable songs. Sometimes you really wonder where the hell are their favorite artists coming from, to the point where they're more likely to stump your with their playlists than a Berklee grad would
>Rateyourmusic
There's a very large spectrum of RYM users that extends from the most normgroid mouthbreathing NPR-approved consumer of safe artsy music to the almost tryhard-level explorers of obscure music that isn't even remembered by the people who made it. In other words, this powerful tool for discovering music all depends on the user's skill level. Still, the most typical RYMer of current year will run you over with their blinding love for Parannoul and Magdalena Bay.
>Last.fm
Secretely hosts the most based recommendation system of all mainstream music platforms, but it's unfortunately underused by its social credit obsessed scrobblers. They more than likely won't stop playing the same songs to you over and over again.
