There is plenty of halfway decent music going on, but its just not to your guys' taste. Atleast we still have the music previously made to listen to until maybe music makes an actual come back in the direction you guys want it to.
Don't be so pessimistic, makes me sad. :(

There is good and bad in all styles of music. In my opinion, if it takes talent, it deserves respecting. For example, I really dig Ace of Base simply for their killer hooks. Each song has at least one amazing hook in it. Some people wonder why I listen to them since it seems out of character, but I respect their songwriting skills (to be honest though, I can't exactly listen to it hours on end, but it has its time & place).

I think one cop-out though is people who say "oh, I like all kinds of music", as in "I don't care what kind of music is playing, I dig it".
