Krukowski explains there are always things evolving such as music and ways of discovering new music. He explains how music nowadays is all based on what’s popular and what’s not which prevents us from exploring new sounds because of new technology. Big corporations such as Spotify decipher what’s popular which not only affects people from discovering new underground sounds but also restricts us to new sound,ideas,views.etc.

Krukowski believed discovering music is to expand your knowledge of music, unlike being “surprised” prevents people from doing so by only showing us information we’re already familiar with. For example Spotify’s discovery feature gives people a chance to not always listen to what they’re used to but something with a new similar sound.

Forced exposure plays music not only related to what you listen to but all types of different music unlike Spotify Paul creates a “discover” feature which also helps people explore new music but only based on their playlist which doesn’t help people expand their knowledge of music as much as Forced Exposure does.
