The only decent music scene is old music and underground. I have two ways I answer the question, " What kind of music do you listen to?" When asked:
In the past I’d say, “"Probably things that you've never heard of,” as I tug down my too-tight vintage argyle sweater and turn my toes to each other in my plaid skirt and black thick soled Mary Jane’s.
Now a days it’s more like, “I listen to all music, with the emphasis on "all.” This cop-out never works. So I am hard-pressed to either sound like some aging hipster or pretentious snob: "I listen to a lot of underground stuff: punk, pop, noise, dance…”
Bottom line, today’s mainstream rocks sucks, and has for a long time. If you want good tunes, you gotta dig for ‘em.
