Finding quality at random has never been easy. The same can be said about music.
People tend to find music they identify with, and listen to it excessively.
The hormone-induced passion and the youthful exuberance that enhance one's musical taste during their teenage years eventually passes and it seems to become much more difficult to find quality music. Even as a teenager, it was not so easy to find. This happens because it is so hard to find those special recordings that you know that somebody, somewhere, is making. I will tell you what you can listen to that will scream of quality. Most of what populates the Internet is, of course, bad.
