Are you sure this is an accurate description of your taste? Or do you mean "I'm not interested in things that are similar, but lower quality"?
I'm very much a weird-music enjoyer, and I often have the latter problem where "similar" songs actually just don't capture the same vibe as the truly engaging new song I just heard. But that's not because the algorithm is choosing music that's too similar; it's the opposite. It's trying to choose something similar but can't, so it just picks the next-best thing which I actually don't like.
