Pretty sure I listed a bunch of the stuff that I've liked in my list above haha. Not sure what else you're referring to, but I'm sure you're right.

But I included myself in "we're" because even the stuff I've liked from artists who just came out in the 2010s, I don't have the same reverence for it as I did the stuff from the 90s/00s that defined my tastes.

Which of course is just the way of the world. As we get older, our tastes are mostly set, but the music keeps evolving because of the injection of creative young folks. So even if there's a lot of it that I really like, there's also a lot of it that just doesn't resonate with me at all. But, to the OP's question (however insincere), that doesn't mean it's not good or creative. It just means that we're too old to "get it."
