There's plenty of good modern music, and much of it is coming from modern (i.e., young) artists.
It is easier to -
ahem -
access* now than it ever was, too,
albeit at a price (i.e.,
virtually no broadcast radio of any merit is still extant), but sources like Bandcamp seem to be a win-win for artists and consumers (although I am far from expert on current trends in content delivery).
That said -- and tag-teaming off of
@restorer-john's post earlier -- I found it both funny and sad, when our son was in college (2006-10) to see the dorm rooms and doors peppered with Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead posters. I mean, yeah... college (some things never change**), but "kids" deserve their own music and ethos, don't they?
Maybe it's different now; I dunno -- our kids are grownups now and one has two kids of her own. We'll see what the next generation's like, I suppose.

** or, as I like to say,
as long as marijuana is popular, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon will continue to be very popular. View attachment 129674
