"Most of the rest are talented, as you say, but are not making great art or interesting music. American culture is 99% moribund in its music and fine arts."
You may not have found it but it's an extra step to say it's not there. There are hundreds and hundreds of American musicians making great art and interesting music.

But most American music is crap, IMHO
Your specific taste may be suited to a particular variety that is popular in Europe, but that has nothing to do with what's "crap". I can assure you if your impression is that "most American music is crap", it is a reflection of your awareness of what's out there.
no sense in disputing about taste, so have a nice life.
Everyone has their taste, your statement was something different.
But for some good news...
Check out Rene Marie, Downbeat's "Rising Star" female vocalist. Not a kid by any means, but due to unfortunate family conditions was late to the party. Her two most recent CDs "Voice of My Beautiful Country" and "Black Lace Freudian Slip" are gems.
For the youth scene, check out Taylor Eigsti and Christian Scott. There is hope.
