https://everynoise.com/

It plots every genre of music on a 2D spectrum ("The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.")

You can click on any genre and get band recommendations.

Or you can search for a specific band and find other bands plotted similarly.

https://privacy.com/ I've been using them for around 6 years now.

They link up with your bank account and generate as many virtual cards as you want that are locked to the first vendor you use them on so if say McDonald's get their card data stolen it won't be able to charge the card for anything other than McDonald's.

They also make their money from the card fees so they manage to be both free and not sell your data.
