Okay to be fair I'm probably exaggerating for the sake of my own optimism, but I think it's probably safe to say that more young people aren't satisfied with popular music today than in past generations

>I'd be curious if you could recommend anything new!

I dwell primarily in Prog circles so here's a short list of (almost exclusively prog) albums that came out within the last few years that I think are great:

Lightworker by Devin Townsend

Fauna by Haken

Aphelion by Leprous

Fear Inoculum by Tool

Rise Radiant by Caligula's Horse

Closure / Continuation by Porcupine Tree

I Don't Know What I Am by Reliqa

Witness by VOLA

In Cauda Venenum by Opeth

Shadow of My Future Self by Ross Jennings

The Wind by Balmorhea

Niratias by Chevelle

BILO IV by David Maxim Micic

Hushed and Grim by Mastodon

The Work by Rivers of Nihil

Fortitude by Gojira

Phanerazoic II by The Ocean

I'll admit that some of these bands have been around since the 90s but some of them are as new as 2018. I'll also admit that a couple of them might be too heavy for your taste, particularly Gojira, The Ocean and Rivers of Nihil. If you'd prefer song recommendations, I could recommend a song or two from each of these albums
