I suggest searching for a list of music genres, types or whatever and maybe you'll find one you have never heard of or know nothing about and then look some up and give it a listen. You may not find something you like but you'll have fun discovering new and unusual sounds. And you never know! You can try this with music from other countries or other eras, too! (try looking up weird instruments and listening to songs that use them)

The Warning and Turnstile are my favorite “new” artists—as in formed in the last 15 years. I would also check out Dorothy and Bad Omens. Spotify has many playlists for different genres, and it also recommends similar artists when you listen to a particular group. If you find a new band you like, buy some of their merch because Spotify pays almost nothing to artists.

Are you looking for new recommendations or just stuff you missed over the years?

Either way, sounds like we're about the same age and I found myself in a music slump a while back. Spotify actually helped me a lot. Opened an account and liked a few songs and let the algorithm start doing its thing. My Discover Weekly is always filled with a healthy combination of things I love, things I missed along the way (but love), things I forgot about, and new things.

Maybe you should try King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. They've got a hell lot of albums, with very diverse genres (from psychedelic garage rock to jazz fusion or metal), and they're very good on their instruments.

Sometimes I also go back, and for months I listen to the same music that I loved when I was a teenager in the 2000s (White Stripes, Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Doors, Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, etc), and I worry that I'll never ever gonna discover new things, and it means that I'm old now. But fortunately once or twice a year I always find something interesting.

Spoon! Check them out.

If you like a faster, more chaotic pace, id recommend Death From Above, Royal Blood.

Led Zep would lead you to The Black Keys. At least they did for me.

Always hard when you don't tell much about yourself.

An all-purposes recommendation, King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard, as the band changes a lot their style from an album to another. It's got an intimate touch, delicately playing on the interactions between multiple guitars, one bass, one bass, one drums, and various instruments.

Always start with their "The dripping tap" song, and then, probably, from another album, "Magma" is a good sequel. "Magma" is long, 9 minutes, you can take time to enjoy each movement, it's kind of more the travel than the destination song...

Otherwise, may I throw a weirder suggestion? Try to find songs whose beat speed match your max speed typing speed. I find it's the ones I naturally, spontaneously, click the best with. Depending on you, you'll find yourself naturally matching with disco, death metal, who knows what lol.
