Why does most music made after ~2000 suck?

1)And often, what was most popular in its time becomes disposable within ten years, only to resurface in Biggest Hits Of the XXs collections or in "Where Are They Now?" segments, but I think most can agree that top 40 music is hardly the best gauge by which to judge the music of any given time period.

2)Probably the easiest way to find new music, new bands/musicians that appeal to one's individual sensibilities is by finding those whose musical influences are similar to or match one's own. More often than not, it will appeal to the listener.

 

I liked your post but I will just shorten it to these two paragraphs that I want to respond to.

1) I believe that the top 40 during the 50s, 60s, and 70s were a pretty good gauge of the talent during those years, but that is probably because I enjoy rock the most.

2) Probably the best suggestion in the thread (although I hope someone else has stated this, can't remember).  I believe it was during my time on Myspace (no longer have any social media account) that bands were adding me based on profile searches that they did of their influences.  That was probably one of the best aspects of Myspace that small bands actually tried to recruit people that enjoyed their musical influences.
