I'm old enough to be called a "baby boomer" but love almost all genres of music ranging from classical to some "old school" rap and hiphop. I have an extensive collection of songs but not much from 1995 - the present.
I'm seeking some good recommendations on modern day musical artists and their songs. I would prefer songs free of obscenities, (subtly erotic, ok) violence, misogyny. or extremist political propaganda. I want to listen to music not to noise or somebody ranting or venting. I appreciate geniune talent in vocals and instrumental playing instead of just the "flavor of the month"
Could you young people make some suggestions for me?

To Sweet Baby:
My 17 year old niece's choir sang backup for Il Divo when they sang "Oh Holy Night" on the Oprah show this past December.

Personally im in to indie music right now, I really think it has a depth that mainstream junk just lacks...some bands I listen to are, Belle & Sebastian, Bloc Party, Elliot Smith, The Arcade Fire, and Nada Surf...this is some pretty chill music and I think you'll like it.

Amy Winehouse
Her voice is quite refreshing after listening to so many popstars of today
she sounds like oldschool jazz but sings about real life with sometimes deep and sometimes comical lyrics
