My most recent discoveries are The Tubs, Say ZuZu and Lawrence. I'd also try Puressence if you like later 90s stuff and The Flashing Lights too, they're very good.

Gen Xer here. Designed my spotify playlists for people my age (and younger and older) looking to check out new groups. Start here. If the first 10 or so songs don't grab you, jump ahead to 100 for heavier groups.

If you're in a slump, get out of your comfort zone.

BAND-MAID

Sisters of Mercy

Earth, Wind and Fire

Harley Poe

MC Frontalot

The Longest Johns

Dolly Parton

Michael Jackson

Just bounce all over the place. Commit to one or two songs per artist/genre. You'll find a new groove and appreciate your old one more.

Reply to comment by patman990 in Lollapalooza 2023 line-up: Kendrick Lamar, Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, and more confirmed by ninjazop

Kendrick and Billie may be huge artists, but their music is forward-thinking and "alternative" in a lot of ways. I mean, a quick look at 1996 shows that Metallica and Soundgarden headlined that year, both of which had massive number 1 albums at that point, so it's not like they've ever been averse to booking mainstream headliners.

I think the issue is people are looking at "alternative" and thinking "alternative rock." New alt rock bands aren't headlining nowadays because rock isn't as popular. But Billie and Kendrick are great examples of hugely popular stars that's still doing something alternative, quite frankly a lot more alternative than most of the cookie-cutter alt rock bands of the 90s. It's just that rap and pop artists don't tend to get credit for being forward-thinking in the same way rock acts do.
