I've not really browsed /mu/ or 4chan in ages but is that still the best place to find deep cuts / underground music? - Le gems if you will 
Music I'd be referring to has like hundreds/thousands of listeners. Usually a one off album or project.
Examples:
Japanese Lo-fi synth music - https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/麓健一/美化-bika/
Random Vocaloid album with 2k views - https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17530945
[insert random Vaporwave album that ends up being Good Actually] -
I would've used Brave Little Abacus in the past but they're super high on RYM now lol - https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/the-brave-little-abacus/just-got-back-from-the-discomfort—were-alright/

My search skills are bad but I swear to god there used to be /mu/ threads called "dead bird emo" where some dude would post pictures of dead birds and link pretty decent emo albums.
