It's definitely easier to find weird stuff with all the streaming services. But I don't often look for stuff, and back then the good stuff found me. I'll occasionally even look at what's trending now to try and find something interesting, but I rarely see anything.
Either way, it's not just my opinion, it can be verified empirically, there is way less variety in popular music these days. I even remember Vsauce had a video about that. And it applies to other mediums as well. All big budget movies are generic. All AAA games are either live service or Assassins's Creed but Vikings/Hackers/Jedi/etc. And by "all" I mean "most", of course. If you want the good stuff you either go indie or retro.
