Tbf some of the popular music has been shit since music began I'm sure, but there's also always good stuff. For instance rap music, most of it these days is garbage like lil uzi and lil peep, but there's still dudes like Aesop Rock (not ASAP Rocky, Aesop Rock), Run The Jewels, Meyhem Lauren, Lil Nas X, making good shit out there. Pop hasn't been good since the 80s though. Oddly enough I think my favorite stuff from "now" is actually the fact that shoegaze is coming back but called zoomergaze and it's fantastic! The band Julie is a good example, check out their EP Pushing Daisies. Also there's been some really good recent country, namely Charley Crockett and Sturgil Simpson, and (ok it's psychedelic bluegrass but) Billy Strings.

There is good stuff, we just have to dig through piles of shit for it.

Then they already know the radio has been pumping out pure drivel and oldies since the advent of RoboDJs? My mistake, didn't mean to musicsplain.

Edit: OH but I should qualify it: J-pop and K-pop are putting out some decent stuff, just not KISSFM™ and IHeartRadio™ which are equivalent to all American pop radio.
