As I’ve gotten older, I find I spend less time searching out new music than I did in my teens and 20s. I guess that’s natural, as other things take up space during the day. Frankly, I get a lot of my introductions to “new” artists and music on forums like this, just by clicking on links (and sometimes spending a few hours clicking on other links at those links and so on and so on…). A lot of the “new” music I find is actually “old” music I just haven’t heard. As far as artists debuting in the 2010s and currently in heavy rotation for me, I can think of a few: [**First Aid Kit**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC57z-oDPLs) (technically, their first EP was a couple of years before 2010, but they really hit the scene after 2010) [**Lauren Ruth Ward**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x12IKhLvT_g) (A genuine post 2010 artist. I read an interview in LA Weekly, back when it was a readable publication, and found her videos on YouTube) [**Jinjer**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRkRwL0vjOg) (The current lineup is definitely post 2010. Just discovered this band a couple of weeks ago in a [thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-have-some-good-first-reaction-videos-first-reaction-to-hearing-a-piece-of-music/927355/24) in this forum and spent a few hours over the past few weeks listening to various live and studio performances.) --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/older-dopers-what-new-musical-artists-do-you-listen-to/929632)._
