We live in an age where anyone who wants to make music a certain way can do it and find and audience, through the internet, get signed by a tiny independent label and end up touring the world without ever having an album or single come close to charting on the Billboard 200, whereas in the past they would die due to lack of a local scene and major label support. It doesn't matter what kind of music you like, what kind of weird fetishes or mixtures you want to hear, you can find at least one band doing exactly what you want, to an almost custom tailored sounding degree, if not a whole movement or scene based around it.
If you can't find 'modern music' you like, the only fault lies in your own close mindedness and/or technical illiteracy, especially with the popularity of retrospection in music (and everything else for that matter) in the internet age.
