Why does most music made after ~2000 suck?

Anyone citing 70's progresive rock and hard rock as "good music" whereas today's music is crap puts a smile on my face - not because I agree, but because it is humerous to see such outright blatant pretentiousness =P

The 70's sucked until New Wave.

Randomly googled list with plenty of awesome non-New Wave 70s music: http://www.listology.com/tdunnie/list/my-70s-soul-playlist

Stevie Wonder alone made the 70s a decade for brilliant music before the term New Wave was even officially used. Not to mention Marvin Gaye (What's Going On/1972 - one of the best albums of the decade), James Brown, Sly & The Family Stone, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield and many others.

OK, you pretty much corrected me there. Soul music is awesome =P

 

Here are three songs performed back to back at the Grammy's which I really enjoyed.... Especially Janelle Monae's performance. 

After seeing this, I ended up buying two of Janelle Monae's albums, and they're both brilliant covering multiple genres, they are part of a 4 part concept series based around a character who lives in Metropolis - perhaps the first big budget Sci-Fi film in history. The first album is the first part "Metropolis" was released in 2007, and the second and third parts were released as "Arch Android" and were released in 2010 - there was a collaboration with Big Boi (From Outcast) on some of the tracks from the second album.
