I have a passing interest in new currents that're taking place on the margins, but tend to wait until a few 'key' widely discussed examples begin to cross over before I dip my toe. Then, if I like it I might explore it in more detail. I don't 'search' for new things though. My experience is that the interesting stuff tends to reveal itself to me, either through an interview in a magazine, an online recommendation from someone whose taste I trust, etc.
My default setting, though, is to explore already established artists that I've not yet heard, working in genres that I know I like.
