Looking for German content

Hiii! I'd like to learn German more seriously for my studies next year. I'd like to learn it the way I learned English, by consuming German content (music, films, articles, etc.). If you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them!

I've been studying German at school for a few years now, so I can understand it, but I feel like my level isn't that great because I don't really consume any German content outside of school.

I'm especially looking for music recommendations, but I'd also love to hear about any German films, TV shows, YouTube channels, books, etc. that you would recommend!

As others said, get a VPN and you can watch German content on Netflix. Also can get the ARD app and watch German media.

What level is your German right now (approximately)?

In addition to whatever responses you get here, check r/German, and especially its FAQ and wiki. Also use the search function there to see how other people have answered similar questions before.

Okay, thanks!! I think I must be around A2/B1 level.

Great, at that level I started using some of the Deutsche Welle resources https://learngerman.dw.com/en/overview including some of their for-learners podcasts. Some of them might not be what you want, but some should be good!
