I hate discovering new music. Why is it difficult? (hexbear.net)

I especially hate how the curating institutions are so dominated by English and Amerikan artists.

You're not wrong. I always hated the cultural imperialism that kept me from enjoying music from the world over.

That said, if you follow a college radio station or find a niche subculture, stuff opens up pretty fast from there. While Bandcamp isn't the best in terms of quality, upon discovering a new genre just search there based on tag. For example, the anarcho-punk genre tag has a lot of Slavic stuff.
