The current music of today can be equally as good as music way back when, you just need to know where to find it ( not be lazy and let the radio do it for you).
Given I love 90's music, but I put that down to that era being my teenage years and I associate a lot of fond memories with a lot of music, but still I can;t really say it was better, the 90's gave us some bloody awful music too. 
Also, why do people follow chart music unless they are a teenager? That is what the market is aimed at (with the occasional spur towards another market every so often). People need to widen their music awareness, switch off the radio (especially radio 1) and discover a whole world of great modern music that is out there. |
That's sorta the point of radio though surely, my only responsibility is to choose the station which should cater best to my taste. I generally don't really care enough about music to be too active in my search for stuff I like, I'd rather just switch the radio on and have a listen to whatever's playing.
And I mentioned chart music and radio 1 because its representative of the most popular music at any moment, even if the audience is mainly teenagers.
