Praeserpium Machinarum:
Noise.

Especially the danish princes of noise, Wäldchengarten's newest album Electrical Bonding. Desolate noise ambient that sounds like the soundtrack to a metropolis after a fallout. Seriously I adore these guys even though its not exactly a pleasant listen. I wrote a science fiction story while listening to it with the lights out. I think it improved the story, even if you get a mild headache from listening to it on repeat.
But it's the good kind of headache ;)
You could also get into industrial pioneers like Nurse With Wound, Throbbing Gristle or Einstürzende Neubauten.

And I can't post in any thread without mentioning Under Byen, their second album Det er Mig der Holder Træerne Sammen hit me like a slice lemon tied to a brick. Even though I understand what they sing about, it was still so alien and alienating on the first listen. But after a couple months I digged it up again and it made perfect sense. This is the best band in the world. It is not immediately likable but once you get into it, you might agree with me :)

Bastardous Bassist:
You could go to shows featuring some music you like, but also with a bunch of acts you've never heard of before, but that's sort of something that you just have to cross your fingers and hope happens.  I'm having some problems, too, with that sort of thing.  Fortunately, for my classical fix, I know this guy who really knows his stuff and can recommend some newer composers.  Also, Amazon.com lists and stuff are great, as well as reviews that mention other artists.

If you like these artists, try Bass Communion, Earth, White Mice, :zoviet*france: and Thomas Koner.

There's some incentive.

Although, it could turn the other way.

I know that feeling. Up until two years ago I was laughed at by one of the (now) indie hipsters because my favourite bands were Radiohead and Belle and Sebastian. He used to really like some shitty mexican soft rock band.

Listen to the radio?

Maybe check out the best-sellers list at HMV?
