If you hate all music that's currently being released, you aren't looking hard enough for stuff that you like.

 I'll second this. There is TONNES of music out there which will never make it on the radio/tv/mainstream but is brilliant. It just requires a bit more work to find than sitting on your arse waiting for someone to play it to you and telling you to like it.

Internet radio might be a good start (I don't listen to any form of radio, so I can't really comment), because there are stations dedicated to specific genres.

Go out an see some local gigs. You know, those bands which don't have million dollar contracts, but play at the local club once every few months. You might be surprised at the "undiscovered" talent out there.

Listen to something different. I personally have a very broad taste in music, but my favourite genre is Metal. So people give me very strange looks when I tell them that I went to a Jazz club on the weekend or out to a dance party (for the music, I can't dance to save my life).

I'm sure someone else can come up with other suggestions.
