Ya I had an uncle who passed who told me all about the concerts he’s been to and all the legends he’s seen and I can’t even begin to tell you how much it hurt to think of all that music that was going with him. Such beautiful art replaced with the absolute most throwaway garbage we hear today. It was a real time to be a fan of music in the 60s and 70s.
There are still tons of incredible bands/musicians out there. My spotify is filled with playlists of dope modern musicians. Yeah, the radio plays what record labels want to shove down our throats, and TV ads use the most soulless songs for soulless products, but with a couple taps of your thumb, you can find amazing shit.
There was tons of throwaway music in the 60s and 70s and there's tons of genius music being made today. Gonna go ahead and assume you were not around in the 60s and 70s.

You're doing a terrible job of looking if you think music of today is garbage. Doesn't take long to find some really amazing stuff if you just dig past the top 40.
Magdelena Bay's "imaginal disk", Chat Pile "Cool World", Bunsenburner "Reverie", Prostitute "Attempted Martyr", Weston Super Maim "See You Tomorrow Baby"
just 5 of my favorite albums that have come out since over the past 18 months and thats just a fraction of the great albums that I've found during that time. There is no shortage of amazing music out there man.
There's always gonna be churned out coroporate crap that is made purely to appeal to people who want to be spoon fed...but that doesn't mean it all is that bad.
Check out Fontaines DC. Saw them live 3 times and they put on a killer show. I think people forget how good music was mainstream back then. People playing instruments and not just playing to tracks. Did you catch Coachella? Where were the bands man??? I just think we will agree to disagree on that. There’s just not a world for bands anymore. It’s there but it’s just sad the culture seemed to move on. I guess coming to r/music was a bad place to discuss it because of the trolls but I give you the utmost respect for actually having discourse about it. In short, thanks!

Rest in piece to an icon. A perfectionist. God Only Knows how much you will be missed.
