There is more music being made today than ever before, thanks to technology. The downside is that anybody with Garage Band can churn out shit, but it also means that there is some really great, moving music being released independently, on small labels, and the like.
Go seek it out, it is there. I am almost 40 and I buy a lot of current music, none of it that you'd hear on the radio/tv/etc. And I don't mean to be elitist, but do a little surfing and there is greatness being produced all the time. And boy is it rewarding when you find it.
