Loathe the music these days. No emotion, no melody, no catchy hooks. Boring crud.

I agree with this, with the exception of Parquet Courts. They're a good band. Rock music is dead for the most part these days.
I've been listening to more hip hop than ever recently. There are a ton of guys putting out great stuff, trying new things.
Death Grips' Bottomless Pit is probably my favourite album of the year so far. They are just so talented, it's a lot of fun listening to all the new stuff they put out, as it is almost always different from the last album. Zach Hill might be the greatest living drummer right now.
I know a lot of people are going to #### on trap, but Future and Young Thug constantly put out quality music IMO. Future has a certain sound that a lot of people have copied, even going so far as Desiigner basically being Kanye's Future clone.
I have around 500-600 Young Thug songs on my computer, and I would say 90-95% of them are good, or even great. He has such a unique voice, and his lyrics are fun.
You can always count on Kanye to put out quality music. He hasn't released a single bad album in 13 years. I loved TLOP. He is very adventurous with his music, and his new albums always sound different than the last one. I think he is the greatest artist of the 21st century, and I'm not sure how you could argue anyone could have the top spot over him.
Oh, and I forgot to mention UK Hip Hop/Grime. They are coming back in a big way these days. Skepta's new album is great. Section Boyz have two mixtapes that are really good. I haven't delved into the genre a whole lot, but everything I hear, I like.
Cue the "hip hop stopped being great after the 90's crowd"
