I think it's just you and - those who also think that way.

UK has plenty of great new music. It always has since I was a kid in the 1960s. Of course there are periods that radio and people's playlists are dominated by stuff that is most aggressively marketed and hyped, but there is amazing variety there for those who aren't too lazy to seek it out.

You have YouTube and streaming platforms to explore, you have online communities to ask for nominations of good music. But you decide to ask a question that pre-supposes there's nothing to be found?

Attitude adjustment, mate. Get off your arse and go looking.

I don't mean to be rude but you asked for what people thought of your lament, you didn't ask what good music there is.
