Interesting summary of where music consumption is at:

Seems to me we've entered an era whereby streaming services will be dictating what's available and driving tastes through machine learning algorithms powering their discovery and playlisting engines. This may in turn force musicians to respond by increasingly catering for that middle of the road till it's one homogenous mass.

What drives your discovery of music/ expansion of musical palette or do you find yourself an increasingly passive consumer of what's being directed at you?
