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.

Guess I'll Google how to find good contemporary music. Any suggestions welcome.

Streaming is the way to find good new and old music.  You want a controller app or software that makes suggestions for music that you may like based on the music you listen to. Roon and Innuos are good at this from what I've read.
