This may just be the unpopular opinion puffin in me talking, but I don't think music is going downhill as fast as you all make it out to be.
Sure, there are plenty of kinda annoying singers like Bieber, and pitchy vocals like One Direction and Train. But with every bad song there exists a good jam to balance things out. For every Little Things by One Direction, there is a Happy by Pharrell Williams or a Pompeii By Bastille you could listen to instead. If you block out every bad song you hear there it still a good selection of modern songs to listen to.
Personally I love these ones:
Dark Horse - Katy perry
Hey Brother - Avicii
Demons - Imagine Dragons
On Top Of The World - Imagine Dragons
Safe And Sound - Capital Cities
Counting Stars - One Republic
Keep your eyes and ears open, my friends. Good music comes not from a good singer, but from a good listener
