Honestly, I think the mainstream has improved over the stuff I was hearing in the 90's. Although it's kind of hard to put it in perspective because I grew up without much of a musical consciousness.
I think, when the sonic dust settles on this decade it will be remembered most strongly as the years when it became apparent that the music industry wouldn't be able to continue in the same money making vein that it's been mining for so long. The internet has really decentralised how music spreads.
