Queens of the Stone Age? PJ Harvey? The Walkmen? Godspeed You! Black Emperor? Rome? There's plenty of music out there if you look.
EDIT: and that's just one very restrained genre. There's dozens of very talented artists making great music. Gillian Welch might be the best songwriter of the last 25 years. Burial makes some of the most enveloping music in ages. Actress is so far ahead of other EDM artists in combining different forms of music. Big K.R.I.T and Jay Electronica are two of the most exciting rappers America has had since the 90s.
Tons. Of. Music.
