Why does most music made after ~2000 suck?

I feel that it is completely subjective. Most of the music I like actually comes from 2000+. I even like a little of the mainstream stuff. I do agree though that pop and rap is pretty bad nowadays, but I still love 2000+ rock.

I listen to Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, System of a Down, Killswitch Engage, Evanescence, Linkin Park (older stuff though), and stuff like that.

But, I also like Alice in Chains, Guns N' Roses, Black Sabbath, a few AC/DC songs, and a few random classic rock songs. I feel that there is nothing wrong in liking music from all time periods. It is simply what you enjoy listening to.

You did a pretty good post and I am going necro this thread just because of you.  There is decent music now but it seems "harder" to find.  I suppose I was just spoiled back in the 90s with blockbuster hit after hit.   I suppose this happens to all old people though...  I do enjoy classic rock almost more than the music I grew up on though.  I believe the hey day of rock was in the 60s-70s.   Bands nowadays just can't compete to what preceded them.  I did list some songs in the op post 2000+ that I liked.  There are bands out there but I believe rock is on a downhill spiral (aka NiN- Downward Spiral).
