Is today’s contemporary music lacking?

I listen to various genres of music, and I am a big fan of rock/pop from the 1950s to today.

When I turn in the radio to hear new pop/rock songs, I often hear “monotonous” verses with minimal melody repeated again and again (4x) then the chorus not quite matching the music of the verses. The artist seems to try using a good voice trying to make the song sound good but these songs seem to lack a good “melody”. Anybody else notice this?

Also, because pop/rock music is well established, is it more difficult nowadays to create new good melodies - are artists running out of creative ideas?  This thought has often crossed my mind whenever I hear another song remake.

@articdeth:

" 2000 til now, music is trash, all garbage"

I disagree.

There is still a lot of excellent music being made but don't expect to hear it on the radio. 

You have to look for it.

If you don't bother to look, how can you justifiably complain?

Yeah, all modern music is terrible - I've listened to all the many thousands and thousands of albums of all varieties of pop and rock, and yep, all bad. They should have stopped making new music back in the 70's. Please note irony content.
