Scenes seem to become invigorated at different times. I remember indie being awesome, then rap being great (Ice Cube, PE etc) then sliding a bit, but at the same time death metal spawned its best stuff (early Deicide, Nocturnus), then indie was great for a while again, before dance took over etc etc etc. As long as there's people like APhex Twin, David Sylvian, The Fall, Sonic Youth etc as constant markers of greatness, things'll be OK. You just have to ride the waves, or something.
