Was rock music from 15 years ago more melodic than today?
I'm 16, but like a lot of rock/alternative stuff from the 1990s and early 2000s, such as Foo Fighters, Idlewild, Green Day, Interpol, Placebo, Ash etc. Since the late 2000s, there have been very few new bands creating music similar to these bands, and even these bands have become less melodic since. What happened to that catchy verse-chorus rock style that existed in the 1990s/2000s? I've come across a handful of older artists (Bob Mould in particular) who are still doing stuff like this, so clearly not all of the memorable melodies have been taken. Have people's tastes just moved on? And would you say that music from now (rock) is as catchy as back then?
An example of a catchier song (in my opinion) from the late 1990s/early 2000s would be the Foo Fighters song Learn to Fly, while a a less catchy 2010s song would be Irresistible by Fall Out Boy.

Music in general was better in every genre back then. I'm only 16 but my i grew up on the old music. The music now is more violent and includes alot more sex, drugs, alcohol, cussing, violence, etc. I know the older music was sexual but they kinda hid it more than today "f...in a bit.h" was "making love to my baby". So yeah it's better then than it is now. The world has changed into a very different place now. Hope this answered your question the way you wanted.

I haven't been listening to enough of the current stuff to comment fully.
If you're looking for melodic from that era, give a listen to Cake. Their best album in my opinion is Prolonging The Magic. It's hard to even categorize this band, I hear country, new wave, and mexican influence and I dig anything with a horn section. Maybe it's not your cup of tea, but this band makes me smile every time I listen.

Yes, the early 2000s were full of lame power chords and pop punk bands. Thank god it's over. They all deserve to suffer...
