Whenever I’m feeling a new genre I don’t have a playlist for I find an already made one. Old blogs and forums and such have so many curated lists. Lots of music communities exist and are still updating lists with new artists. From there I either find lists recommending songs/artists similar to the ones I liked (again plenty of human curated lists) or get recommendations from friends.

I follow some of my absolute favorite artists and they post inspiration playlists when they’re making new albums from time to time too that I’ll often listen to.

Basically I just don’t randomly search for songs.
