I was listening to a bunch of mashup songs. If you delve into it you'll find stuff like Danzig and Idol singing to a Rihanna song, or Bananarama doing vocals for Rammstein. The more of the mashup songs I heard, the more I started wondering are there only so many chord progressions, are commercial song structures set in stone, is the earworm a product of familiarity?

While listening to those mashups, I thought there's no fucking way Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" could ever be mashed up..

There's tons of original music you have not heard. But it's not gonna be from the past 5-10 years. I've regularly been seeking stuff out for ages, all genres, so I know if you want to find something, you can with effort. Setting that aside, it does appear we're in a drought at the moment.
