but the music? sure sucks.

Not if you dig for it. There's never been more good music readily available. You just won't hear any of it on the radio.

Every few weeks I tune across the FM dial and re-confirm that this is true. Mostly what I hear are just two basic songs. One has instrumental accompaniment consisting of little more than a synthesized rhythm track that goes "chink, chink, CHINK, chink; chink, chink, CHINK, chink; chink, chink, CHINK, chink; chink, chink, CHINK, chink; ..." and the other simply goes "chink, chink, chink, chink, chink, chink, chink, chink, chink, chink, chink, chink, chink, chink." And then we have "classical radio," which is little more then slaughter-the-classics, massed-strings easy listening.

However there are vast numbers of excellent bands on the internet. Many are world-class but are unknown except to friends, family, local townsfolk where they live, and the people who hunt for them on the internet. Nowadays, almost all of my CD and music download purchases are directly from such bands (or almost directly via Bandcamp).
