Why does my generation of music suck so much?
What happened to the good old rock music? Even though I am only 20 I enjoy old songs better.

Lemme guess.
"TUPAC, METALLICA, DUBSTEP SUCKS, I LIKE SMOOTH JIZZ FROM THE 40'S, BEETHOVEN"
Here's the thing. It's your opinion on what is good or bad. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it sucks for everyone else. Shut up please.
Every generation have crappy and good musics. http://www.auplod.com/u/aopdul99681.png
I used to think this way, then I found that there are still bands making good music even today; they're just not mainstream. You gotta dig a little if you wanna find the good stuff.
This is a thread to bait people's favorite music out, obviously. But I'm gonna fall for it.
"Instrumental ambient progressive metal" ... boy, that's a mouthful (2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oiFhYl7kLM Progressive metal (2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11CvvggCPrI Rap(?) (2015): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl-fO4cp69k Pop (2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcMmUcsRJxs
I really like NEO classical like Nobuo Uematsu
I'd also like you to compare this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxUhozu3d4Q

I would guess 30% of ever generation says this. Music isn't the best right now, but it's in a transition period. New stuff will be coming soon. Mumble rap, EDM, and slicked up pop will create a vacuum. Have said that, next year's album release anticipation is pretty damn high: TOOL, MMJ, Springsteen, NIN, David Byrne, Jack White
But I just did my best of 2017 and here are the rock songs I really liked:
Joywave - It's a Trip! Strand of Oaks - Radio Kids Spoon - Can I Sit Next To You Queens of the Stone Age - The Way You Used To Do Ron Gallo - Young Lady, You're Scaring me Mastadon - Toe to Toes
I also think Kesha is ACDC reborn, and "Woman" was pretty fucking sick
You're looking in the wrong places. Turn off the radio and start using Bandcamp or (if you're in a bigger city) find the local sounds. Mainstream sound is always going to be LCD crap.
There's no such thing as "bad music", music is a form of art. Art cannot be good nor awful, for it's coming from a individuals creative mindset. Some people prefer heavier types of music, like myself, whereas you have people who enjoy opera, also like myself. You shouldn't bash someone because they're different than you, that's going under a discrimination point of aspect. It would also follow under the rule of Bible Thumping in a sense, and no one likes those type of people, even which of those who follow under Christian rule.
The ones before your generation weren't exactly thrilling either, you're just looking at it differently because of nostalgia. I pretty well gave up on the radio, so the only music I add to my collection now comes from games, shows, or background music from people's videos that I overhear and like.
There's plenty of music I used to listen to when I was younger that I wouldn't bother with now, but I don't mind it because I'm already accustomed to those songs. In the same token, there's at least one song in each genre that I can tolerate or even like, despite the fact that I utterly despise rap, country, religious and dubstep as a general rule. Here's a great example for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJeh_dLjPN4 Usually I'd say it's craptastic and that I want nothing to do with it, but it was on a video I watched for making rings, so when it got stuck in my head for a little while, I decided I could at least tolerate it. If it exists, someone somewhere likes it.
I find interesting music amongst the more electronic types, like Pertubator does some interesting stuff (I personally like Humans Are Such Easy Prey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSQt4ckq-dg), Com Truise's Pyragony is a great song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTy05945OUE
miami nights 1984 has some good stuff, Accelerated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDBbaGCCIhk
