Oooh here we go. What music have you listened to? Popular music or the very long tail of new artists and bands that are now able to produce and release good music from their home without the big publishers (although spotify, soundcloud, apple music etc are now the big publishers).
Because I personally disagree. I'm more into metal myself and I dig a lot of the stuff that came out after 2000. New genres and subgenres have popped up or come into their strength (folk, djent, synthwave, etc). I'm listening to a varied playlist right now of skillful musicianship, most of which from after 2010: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2h4EoZIoRbUAJnHlHE1eHM?si=...
Anyway I object to a statement "this is utter crap"; you're presenting your personal opinion as a hard fact which is a big part of everything that is wrong today.
