Totally disagree. There is a boatload of indie stuff these days. Hard to find, but it's out there. Record labels suck, but there are always actual musicians out there doing interesting things. Some of the most interesting IMO, is so different the first time you hear it, that you might completely dismiss it, until the 2nd time.
Rock/Pop music is now basically where classical music is.
All the good stuff has already been done, and people are now listening to the “classics”. The Beatles are the new “Beethoven”.
