What great music was made in the 2000's? And how are you so sure that there is something out there for everyone? Come and argue with me, I know you don't know there really is music out there for everyone but I would like you to try.
You sound exactly like the people who were saying this during the 60s, the 70s and the 80s. Lots of fantastic music was made in the 2000's.
If you want an example - Sigur Ros. Consistently making the most beautiful, amazing and unique music I've ever heard. Radiohead. Something for Kate. Hell, you wanted "catchy tunes" and "great riffs" - what about Muse? As much as I don't like them - they have some songs which meet that criteria. Lots of them.
But anyway, as I said you sound like the old people who chant "it was better back in the day!". My theory still stands as what I mentioned before. It's has ALWAYS been "cool" in the alternative-underground scene to hate new music. Always.
