There are many ways to discover new music. The current method that I use is Spotify, because I use Spotify for all my music needs.
What you can do on Spotify, is go to the Radio, and you can chose a genre of music like "Hardcore" or "Heavy Metal" are both good. Or you can also start a radio based on a certain band. So you can find new bands related to that band.
Pandora works the same way, though I prefer Spotify any day. On Pandora, you can't skip songs, and it's just lame.
I have also used Spotify's "related artists" feature. You go to any band's profile on Spotify, and there will be button to see related artists. I discover most of my new music this way.
In the past, I have discovered TONS of music from the radio. That was the way that I became acquainted with alternative music in the first place. Just find any classic or new rock channel in your area, and you're set.
That's pretty much all I have to say about finding new music. That's how I do it.

Hated Music That I like
To be completely honest, there are few artists that I truly hate.
There definitely are some that I dislike.
And there surely are songs I hate.
But when it comes to hating music, I always have a hard time knowing what I hate, because, it's MUSIC, you know?
To me, music is a part of my life, and right away, I don't think of music I hate, because I don't listen to that stuff.
As for genres there is one genre I absolutely cannot stand.
And that is country.
It's literally all people listen to in my town, and it is just so stupid to me.
I just do not like it at all.
Another genre that at times I hate is rap. I listen to rap every now and then, but there's a lot of rap that I really hate.
Most rap I don't really like, but in particular, the ones that truly despise are things like 50 Cent, Macklemore, Lil Wayne, and Drake.
It just sounds so stupid to me, I wonder why people would actually listen to it??
The pop artists that I actually can stand/like include:
Justin Timberlake
Daft Punk
Avril Lavigne
Imagine Dragons
Bruno Mars
Black Eyed Peas/will.i.am
Ke$ha
No Doubt
Alanis Morissette
U2
Britney Spears
N Sync
The Killers
Kings Of Leon
David Guetta
Katy Perry
Lady Gaga
Snoop Dogg
Muse
Bon Iver
John Mayer
Deadmau5
Skrillex
Pretty much all the others I cannot stand at all. The pop music today is just such crap it's sad. Why can't we have music like the 80s?
That's why I love hardcore music, because there's nothing good in pop today.

Many of my friends say that I have the best music taste, and are always trying to take my iPod.

Well, that's all I'm going to do today. Again, this is nowhere near all the music I listen to. This is just what's on my playlist at the moment. Currently, I am trying to listen to more post-hardcore and what I would call "indie" such as Pierce The Veil, Tonight Alive, And Nevershoutnever. I literally NEVER listn to stuff like that, so I've been wanting to for a while.

Punk music
Many people associate punk music with Green Day and blink-182.
But really, they don't even know what true punk rock is.
Punk started in the 70s I believe. It was one of the first alternative scenes that was more extreme. It also birthed the goth genre of music and style.
Here's some good punk bands, new and old:
The Sex Pistols
The Sex Pistols were one of the leading punk bands from the 70s. They birthed punk in a sense. Like their name, their music is very angsty and angry. I mostly like their song "Anarchy In The UK."
Ramones
Ramones are said to be the first punk rock band ever, and I totally believe that. Yes, there were other bands before them that dressed punk, but the Ramones are really the first true punk band. They are so good. Best punk band there is, in my opinion. Just check them out, you'll see what I mean.
The Clash
The Clash were a big definitive British punk band, along with the Sex Pistols. They have a lot of rock influences, and they really were a big influence on post-punk and goth rock.
Good songs: London Calling, Rock The Casbah, Should I Stay Or Should I Go, and I Fought The Law.
The Adicts
The Adicts are another good British punk band. They affected the look of the "droogs" in A Clockwork Orange, if you've seen that movie.
Green Day
Many do not consider Green Day to be a punk band. I think that they are punk-pop, because they are so popular and mainstream, yet they have punk sound and influences.
Also, Green Day is probably the very first alternative band I EVER liked. I know I have said before that it was actually Avenged Sevenfold, but that was the first METAL band I liked.
I found out who Green Day was when I was about 8 years old. My best friend, who a complete tomboy, liked Green Day, and one day when I went over to her house, we listened to American Idiot. Ever since I was hooked. When they played at the super bowl with U2, I was watching it intently. Was in love with Billie Joe Armstrong in 4th and 5th grade.
Green Day is important to me because they showed me that punk attitude, and inspired me to be whoever I want to be and fuck whatever anyone else thinks.
So yeah, they are great. Very mainstream, but great.
Good songs: ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!
blink-182
Thought blink-182 is nowhere near as influential as Green Day to me, they still were a band I'd always hear on the radio. The thing that sucks is I'd always hear them on the radio, but never knew who it was until recently.
Good songs: I Miss You, All The Small Things, What's My Age, Again?, Feeling This.
The Offspring
The Offspring is a metal-influenced punk band that became really popular in the 90s. Never got super into them until last year. My marching band did "Come Out And Play" in last year's show, which was AMAZING. And that same summer they played live locally. Was a great show.
Rise Against
Rise Against is actually classified as hardcore, but I think their sound is punk oriented. To be honest, I don't like Rise Against at all. I just do not like their sound.
Sorry I don't know very much punk music, that's just all that I've observed.

Grunge
Grunge, sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound, is a subgenre of alternative rock.
Grunge was born from Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Grunge was most popular in the early 90s.
Grunge is an older music genre than most than I have metioned, yet it is still really good.
I'm going to talk about different grunge bands that I like and stories behind them.
Soundgarden
Fronted by the beautiful Chris Cornell, Soundgarden is from Seattle (duh, it's the Seattle sound). Soundgarden started in the 80s, and their big debut was in 1989 with "Louder Than Love." In the 2000s, the band was doing different things, including Chris touring with the band Audioslave. But in 2011, the band started making music again. I'm dying to see them live, 'cause who knows how long they're gonna last?
Good songs: Black Hole Sun, Fell On Black Days, Spoonman, The Day I Tried To Live, My Wave, Superunknown, Black Rain, Kickstand, and 4th of July.
Alice In Chains
Nirvana was THE big grunge band. They brought grunge to the mainstream scene. Nirvana was such in influential of a band in so many different genres. Sadly, Kurt Cobain (vocals) suffered from heavy drug abuse and depression. He commited suicide in 1994, though his music lives on. I really wish he were alive today to see how big an impact his music made on the world.
Good songs: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, Heart Shaped Box, About A Girl, Lithium, Polly, On A Plain, Dumb, Pennyroyal Tea, and All Apologies.
Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam is sometimes called "the most popular rock 'n' roll band of the 90s." Fronted by Eddie Vedder, the band did so many good thinks for grunge and even alternative rock in general. My dad is always claiming he knows the guitarist, Stone Gossard, but I don't know if he really does..
Good songs: Even Flow, Black, Better Man, Go, Animal, Daughter, Glorified G, W.M.A., Rats, Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town, and Leash.
Those are really all the grunge bands that I know a lot about. I love grunge, and definitely recommend it to anyone who likes anything hardcore or alternative.

Alice In Chains
Alice In Chains is another big grunge band formed in Seattle. They're really popular in the 90s. I just remember playing their songs on Guitar Hero a lot as a kid. Their music was also on a video game I used to play.
Good songs: Man In A Box, Down In A Hole, Nutshell, Check My Brain, Rooster, Your Decision, Would?, and Them Bones.
Nirvana
Nirvana was THE big grunge band. They brought grunge to the mainstream scene. Nirvana was such in influential of a band in so many different genres.

The Hardcore Scene
The hardcore scene today (of the young generation), consists of bands that range from post-hardcore to deathcore. Most of the genres end in -core, so that's what lets you know that these bands are "hardcore scene" bands.
If you disagree with anything that I say about these bands, then it's okay because this is just my opinion on them, and what I can come up with.
I'm not gonna go in any specific order in naming the different bands, so..
I See Stars
I See Stars is a hardcore band that mixes electronic-pop and metalcore. They are definitely part of the hardcore scene today.
Good songs: What This Means To Me, Filth Friends Unite, and Till The World Ends
A Day To Remember
ADTR mixes emo, hardcore, and metal into a blend of awesomeness dubbed "pop mosh." For some reason, a lot of Christian people know them, idk why 'cause they're not Christian, soo...idk.
Good songs: If It Means A Lot To You, All I Want, All Signs Point To Lauderdale, The Downfall Of Us All, It's Complicated, and Since U Been Gone.
Asking Alexandria
A personal favorite of mine, AA is one of the biggest hardcore bands in the world. They're from the UK, but they are known all over the globe. Members are: Danny Worsnop (vocals), Ben Bruce (guitar), Cameron Lidell (guitar), Sam Bentley (bass), and James Cassells (drums).
Good songs: Right Now, Not The American Average, The Death of Me, The Final Episode, To The Stage, Closure, Dear Insanity, A Lesson Never Learned, Breathless, Reckless And Relentless, Morte Et Dabo, Alerion, A Candlelit Dinner With Inamorta, Hey There Mr. Brooks, I Used To Have A Best Friend, and A Prophecy.
Sleeping With Sirens
Post-hardcore band, SWS is also influenced by emo and metal. To be honest, I don't know that much or listen to then very much. I just know a lot of people who like them and see a lot of their stuff on tumblr. So yeah, idk.. I'm not into them.
Good songs: If You Can't Hang, Do It Now Remember It Later
Black Veil Brides
BVB is a band that brought me into the hardcore scene, but I hesitate to wear a band t-shirt out. BVB receives a lot of criticism and prejudice, which I really don't like. I have to admit, their sound has improved so much over the years, and I'm proud to say I was a fan since "We Stitch These Wounds" was their only album. But yeah, their newest album "Wretched and Divine" is so much better.
Good songs: In The End, I Am Bulletproof, Fallen Angels, Wretched And Divine, Shadows Die, Done For You, Nobody's Hero, Lost It All, Saviour, and The Legacy.
Of Mice And Men
Not to be confused with the book, OMAM is another big hardcore band. We're actually reading the book in my English class, and I hate the book. But I definitely don't hate the band.
Good songs: Second and Sebring, My Understandings, Blame It, O.G. Loko, The Flood, and The Depths.
Pierce The Veil
PTV is another band that all my friends are obsessed with, yet I don't really listen to then that much. I only know a lot about them because of my friends. So, yeah, I'm gonna try and see if I get their names right. Left to right: Tony (guitar), Vic (vocals), Jaime (bass), Mike (drums). Did I get it right? I hope...
Good songs: King For A Day, Bulletproof Love, Caraphernelia, A Match Into Water, and Bulls In The Bronx.
Attack Attack
AA is a progressive metalcore group with lots of electronic-pop influences. Auto tune is really popular throughout. I never knew this, but Austin Carlisle (Of Mice And Men) used to be the frontman of this band.
Good songs: Stick Stickly, Smokahontas, Bro, Ashley's Here; Sexual Man Chocolate; AC-130; Renob, Nevada; Shut Your Mouth; Turbo Swag; and Lonely.
Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (D.R.U.G.S.)
Though DRUGS is not together anymore, I thought I'd mention them anyway. DRUGS is a post-hardcore band that is quite good, and it sucks that they aren't a band anymore. But, yeah, though they only released one album, all the songs were good, and they were pretty famous just from it.
Good songs: If You Think This Song Is About You, It Probably Is; Graveyard Dancing; The Only Thing You Talk About; and Stop Reading, Start Doing Pushups.
We Came As Romans
WCAR is a mix of post-hardcore and metalcore. They're really good, though I haven't listened to them for a long time.
Good songs: My Love, We Are The Reasons, To Plant A Seed, What I Wished I Never Had, Broken Statues, and Roads That Don't End And Views That Never Cease.
Woe, Is Me
WIM is a metalcore band that was surprisingly formed in 2009. They're so popular, it's crazy that they're so new.
Good songs: Fame>Demise, Vengeance, Delinquents, Mannequin Religion, I've Told You Once, and I.
Miss May I
This is one of the best metalcore bands there is, and probably one of the best in the hardcore scene. Their music is good because of the guitars and the screamed and sung vocals. I definitely would recommend them to anyone who likes metalcore.
Good songs: Hey Mister, Relentless Chaos, Masses Of A Dying Breed, and Answers.
Those are no where close to all the of the bands in the hardcore scene, but this is just to give an idea of what type of bands there are today.

WCAR is a mix of post-hardcore and metalcore. They're really good, though I haven't listened to them for a long time.
Good songs: My Love, We Are The Reasons, To Plant A Seed, What I Wished I Never Had, Broken Statues, and Roads That Don't End And Views That Never Cease.
Woe, Is Me
WIM is a metalcore band that was surprisingly formed in 2009. They're so popular, it's crazy that they're so new.
Good songs: Fame>Demise, Vengeance, Delinquents, Mannequin Religion, I've Told You Once, and I.
Miss May I
This is one of the best metalcore bands there is, and probably one of the best in the hardcore scene. Their music is good because of the guitars and the screamed and sung vocals. I definitely would recommend them to anyone who likes metalcore.
Good songs: Hey Mister, Relentless Chaos, Masses Of A Dying Breed, and Answers.
Those are no where close to all the of the bands in the hardcore scene, but this is just to give an idea of what type of bands there are today.
