KGRG is world famous among radio fans. Those kids have the pulse.
I get all the inside info from my teenage kids 😅
Here’s some in no particular order;

And a bunch of music from the 00s and 10s which is now old school and cool 😅
Dude you cheated, maybe I shoulda had kids but im too selfish 😂
I feel you. I think I'm experiencing the same.
I'd say it's almost summer now, go out and visit some music festivals. That's a place where I found some inspiration and new (to me) artists.
Also having friends with a similar taste in music helps.
I have a Spotify subscription and that helps me listen to a broad range of music on a whim. But I think the Spotify algorithm isn't helping me in discovering new artists. I rarely find anything interesting and new that way.

Check out the excellent podcast “Search Engine!” There’s an episode called “How do I find new music more that I’m old and irrelevant?”
Thanks for this. You’ve actually helped in another way that I didn’t even ask as I am running out of descent podcasts that I haven’t binged.
And online radio station that has no songs older than 36 months helps me.
Best thing is its free. No ads. And you dont need to make an account.

YouTube music made discovery worse compared to Google music, but it is still OK.
When I hear a good song on a show or movie, I ID it with my phone and explore others by the artist or genre. I also thumbs up it to get more recommendations from YTM
Same when friends recommended music. So yeah, talk to friends about music. And then do the above two steps with their suggestions and likes.
There is the Eurovision Song Contest, buuuuuuuut, this year's season has been such an incredible shitshow that I can't recommend it anymore. Seriously, I wish it never got this way.
So... spend some time listening to the entries from 2013 to 2022. Those are the ones that I liked the most, especially from 2021 (spoiler: Måneskin is in there somewhere, and so is Duncan Lawrence, and Rosa Linn, and the Sunstroke Project... the ones with the Epic Sax Guy, you might have heard of all of these guys before, oh, and Flo Rida too)
2012 and earlier (down to 1997 I guess) do have some cool stuff, but most of it is kinda kitschy and unserious. There are some strong entries, but it's being overshadowed by what is basically garbage and political voting. But at least we got a taste of Loreen out of that. You've heard of that Nightcore remix of a song called Rockefeller Street? Yep, that's from Eurovision.
As for 2023 specifically... well, there's a certain green Finnish guy that you might love, and has almost won if it wasn't for- oh God, Loreen again? And there's some other cool stuff I guess.
The 90s, 80s, and 70s all have some fantastic entries, some of then are even from super famous people such as ABBA, Celine Dion, Olivia Newton John, Johnny Logan, Julio Iglesias, Samira Bensaid, in addition to lots of incredibly interesting folks. There's a live orchestra in there too, so you know things are authentic.
And then there's the 60s and 50s. I can't remember anything about them.
So, enjoy my recommendation of the songs, and please for God's sake, avoid watching the contest live at all costs, and especially stay away from its political influence. There's a particular country in there that everybody wants out, and I'm pretty sure you know who it is. They've basically ruined 2024.

Not music specific but you could join probably a bigger Discord community around a topic which interests a bunch of young lads. For example, I'm in a VRC community, where I usually chat sometimes (I'm 23, not that old) and DC communities usually offer music channels where you could maybe check what they share.
I’ve tried Discord before but I never knew where to find channels I might like.
I will give it another go as it seems like a good idea. Thanks dude.
I try to pick up artists from younger coworkers. That's how I learned about 100 Gecs. Saw them live. We were the olds. Skipped PinkPantheress cause it felt like we'd be too olds.
As a software developer in a small company. These people wouldn’t know hip-hop if pac came and slapped em.
Thanks though.
Just listen to what you like, don't be a creep
This is a weird take. It’s creepy to want to keep up to date with current trends.
Kendrick Lamar is a certified beast and my life is better having found his music than not.
Anyway, what does it say about a person if they don’t want to continually learn, grow, and move out of their comfort zone.
I hope you’re not projecting.
