On the topic of engaging and active discovery, a good portion of my music library has been built through playing Guitar Hero, Rock Band or Clone Hero, funnily enough.
I may look into pursuing a side project next year along the lines of rhythm gaming and inspiration from current music tech: discovery might not be a strange goal to pursue in that domain. In any case, that Twitter thread couldn't have come at a better time for my own brainstorming.
I've discovered a bunch of music through Beat Saber, and Stepmania (and Mungyodance). The problem with that is there is a sort bias with the track selection. For example I enjoy the gameplay of SDVX but it's hard to find music for it that isn't fast paced Japenese electronic music.
