Do you mean you've changed you actual email address? If so and your still getting all this spam something's not right.

Do you need to unsubscribe from some mailing lists perhaps? Some folks consider everything that is from a business as spam... so consider whether some of these is not actually spam but emails from mailing lists that you could unsubscribe from...

Are you marking the incoming emails as spam, so your email software can learn what not to let into your inbox? Check your trash and see what is being discarded on your behalf, if nothing, then you need to teach it what you don't want.

Do NOT try to unsubscribe from anything you didn't subscribe to

Virtually all junk mail will have this option BUT if you click it will do is let them know you are a real, live, email address and you will get MORE junk mail.

problem with that, is most people don't remember subscribing to half of them... you only need to buy something online at a legit store and you end up on a mailing list...

The important point for OP is learning/evaluating, which ones are legit and which ones are real spam... OP has no other choice really - as seen, without changing behaviour getting a new email address ends up in the position again

Try FastMail for email - costs a few dollars a month but well worth it.
Excellent spam filtering regime and an interface which is a pleasure to use.
(Unlike Spark/Xtramail . . . .)

FastMail offers aliases which you can use one time then delete and has also recently added a new function called Masked Mail - similar to aliases.

Xtra and others also offer aliases you can use just once if you want, but Xtra aliases are a bit more ponderous to set up and delete.

re SPAM: Anyone else had spam which originates from Chinese outfits that have obviously bought email addresses from Banggood?
(I used a 1x alias email for a Banggood purchase then presto, spam arrived from another vendor I have never dealt with.)

This is what you do. Not on your end, on the mail server end.
Different providers have different results, gmails is excellent.
