I think that there is lots of great music coming out right now, and it is easier than ever to find it. Satellite radio, internet radio, and indy record label websites are all good resources. If I hear a band I like, I try to check out as much stuff on their record label as possible. Check out the bands that are signed for the big concerts (like Coachella and Sasquatch) and go from there. CBC Radio 3 (radio3.cbc.ca) is one of the best resources for Canadian indy music. You do have to look a bit harder for good music that isn't mainstream, but it is a lot easier to do now than when I was a teenager (and had to check out Maximum Rock 'n' Roll and other fanzines).

I admit, most of the stuff on the radio is pure crap, but that has always been the case.
