I agree. But on the other hand, there is some great underground music today and the Internet is helping to spread that through sites like mp3.com, the now-defunct riffage, loudwerkz.com (shameless self promotion), etc.
If you're into metal/hardcore/crossover stuff like I am, there are plenty of crap-mainstream bands such as Limp Bizkit and Creed -- on the other hand, there's some great stuff that also happens to have become quite popular (Incubus, Deftones). But some of the best music goes relatively unnoticed: Boy Sets Fire, Nothingface, Chimaira, Thumb, Snake River Conspiracy, One Minute Silence are all somewhat lesser-known major label acts that really rock. And there are tons of unsigned indie acts that are incredible...
Just turn off commercial radio, forgive popular opinion (everyone always just seems to like what MTV tells them to anyway), and check out some of your favorite internet music sites...
