It's not as easy for me to find new music now as it was only a few years ago (life changes, different responsibilities, etc). But there are certainly more really good acts, in more genres, now than ever.
I mean, if all you listen to is cock rock, then yeah, 1986 was the gold standard. But there are so many great acts out there making so many different kinds of music.
For example, one of my favorite genres is progressive bluegrass, which at one time wasn't even a thing (Chris Thile can do no wrong in my book).
And even in a genre as venerable as jazz, you still have colossal contributions from newer artists, such as Kamasi Washington's The Epic.
It's awesome that there is so much good stuff, even within niche genres, but depressing that I can't listen to all of it.
