I can find "new bangers", but there's also a whole lot of "holy shit, the kids have absolutely no taste in music", which I think is a often what the olds think of new music. I think that's the typical drop you see on the graph as people get older.
OTOH, to me the absolute worst era of music was the popular stuff coming out when I was 5-20 years old or so. That era just sucked. As a kid my general impression was "Holy shit, my peers have absolutely no taste in music". It was only years later that I actually discovered music that was made during that time that I had never heard about. So, I suppose there was some good music back then, but it wasn't the stuff that was on the radio, on TV, in the movies, etc. The best era for music, IMO, was 10-20 years before I was born. And, it isn't even music my parents introduced me to. They had pretty poor taste in music too, and never played that stuff. I only found out about it decades later by exploring music on my own.
