Yeah, I’ve been through a similar journey but with metal.
Starting with pop-punk and nu-metal as a young lad, I went to more and more extreme stuff over the years to reach stuff like Slam Death, Gorenoise, DSBM or drone, that are barely tolerable even for seasoned metal fans.
But when you reach transcendence (or the bottom of the cesspool, in that case…), you go full circle and listen to pop music again.
At that point I’d say I listen equal part of the cutest k-pop stuff you can find and brutal slam or hxc beatdown; which highly confuses recommendation algorithms!
Anyway, there is light at the bottom of the rabbit hole, so go all the way in, you might find interesting stuff along the way!
Probably not so different from you situation: the recommendation juste gave up and just serves me on repeat the songs I already listen, being totally incapable to propose anything new.

Even my current playlist ranging from anime OPs to metalcore confuses the algorithm. I can’t imagine your situation.

Dunno much about drone, but I’ve recently started listening to noise and dark ambient that’s sometimes also labeled drone. Any recommendations?
It’s been a while, and I never dug that much on this one, I guess the only projects I listened properly was Sunn 0))), but it’s fairly well known.
Otherwise, it’s not exactly drone but the Hagbulbia album by Portal is terrifying imo. Highly recommended if you’re looking for this kind of mood.
thanks, I’m listening now, gonna have to dig out my best headphones!
Enjoy / good luck x)
