I've not been impressed with a lot of music released in the 2010s, outside of a very few examples. This spans many genres. I think it's one reason I've gravitated to non-Western music, aboriginal music, or just other music I haven't yet really explored from decades past, it seems like "it's all been done" or "no one is stepping up like they did in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, developing new styles, sounds and entire genres" but it's really that everyone is just doing the same thing, everything sounds dystopian, depressing, and/or fake/plastic; or plain trash with no musicality to it whatsoever, or just re-exploring old sounds that have been done a million times before, maybe adding a twist, or just experimental for the sake of it instead of finding something new. I thought it was just me, but as this decade is soon coming to a close, I realize it's not. I still like a lot of different sounds and styles, and still try to remain open-minded , but I look at all the releases the last 9 years and I don't have any connection to any of them, rarely care to put any of them on, again, aside from a very few exceptions. I think the last great piece of music released as of this moment is The Whirlwind by Transatlantic, and the only good songs that have come out in the mainstream, at least in the US, I can count on one hand, and half of them are rip offs of some kind, or weren't even that popular looking back.
