I reckon theres a really healthy scene of people writing whatever they like, and sharing it via soundcloud now. Just gotta follow the right people, comment, share, and give back to the community. The real art is finding it - hence I am in a few facebook groups that share discoveries and favourite acts across most genres. I love too much of a variety of music to get too precious about anything nowadays.
I've been fortunate to study the history of true pioneering electronica and synthesis, jazz, classical, avant garde, pop, and contemporary in the different courses I've done, which has helped inform me a little more on what is actually breaking entire new ground compositionally, amd then getting my subjective opinion on and asking my favourite introspective music question - "how does it make me feel?"
