> I'm far more interested now in hearing whatever some weird new electronic artist is coming up with

Who in electronic music is pushing any of the genres forward right now? Trap and festival house took over festivals and stopped innovating. dubstep seems to be on life support, same with electro house. Trance hasn't moved forward and if anything wants to go back to the 90s sound. House never seemed to get ambitious

There's really quite a lot, if you know where to look. One particular genre I enjoy is experimental bass music, that tends to emphasize extremely detailed sound design and production. Every song will generally sound completely different. Here's a few songs, all from the last year or two, that should give a rough idea of what I'm talking about:

SIXIS - Faceless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmJ8KAt8dQ4

Mr. Bill & kLL sMTH - Killiam William: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kBvWVkqebc

Frequent - Pumple Snout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkzZhefuPGI

Freddy Todd - Audible Edibles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hJM8nae9qM

KOAN Sound - Chilli Daddy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6r9qxHg3qk

Futexture - Through the Edge of Never: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNPpgJtJ9E4

They're talented sure. This doesn't sound like its to new from what I was listening to 5 years ago. just looked it up, funk blaster came out in 2011. the neuro sound is pretty old too. I was pretty into glitch for a while(ive got signed tracks on beatport under the genre), ppl seem to be having fun doing their thing but idk if its progressed much.

this is 6 years old. sounds similar to those links? https://soundcloud.com/disprove/disprove-rustic-funk

ehh maybe i just need to come to terms im over it :(

That's a real nice track, thanks for that.

Admittedly, in the music I posted there's definitely roots in dubstep, neuro hop, glitch, etc. So it's not necessarily a "new" genre, and those tracks could have feasibly been made five years ago, but IMO there's so much sonic territory to explore that I still hear plenty of new tracks that sound unlike anything else I've ever heard.

I'll throw out a few more tracks in the hopes you might find something new to like:

Chee - Bane of Our Species - some heavier neuro hop type stuff, lots of broken rhythms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MI1i20GCRI

Zebbler Encanti Experience w/ Woulg - Flesh Out - alternating between spacey ambience and some super intense glitches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6OOW9j3ZCM

COPYCATT - Sweet Soul - some lush, jazzy neuro hop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfnJ8s_AhP4

Mindex - Cluster Overload - very layered, psychedelic bass type stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir_tqgnStuU

Nils Frahm, Death Grips, Gazelle Twin, Gábor Lázár, the entire PC Music roster...

Say what you like about Oil Of Every Pearl's Un-Insides, but you can't say that it's stale.

There are many artists doing that though you have to dig for that as they are not very dance friendly or require getting used to.

Some examples:

Breakcore (Venetian Snares) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg1sgrw1PGM

Dark ambient (The Haxan Cloak) - https://youtu.be/9iBaQrDW544?t=590

Microtonal (Sevish) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v4JcuXoGIM

Sometimes it gets difficult to even categorize, take Igorrr for example which is a weird mix of folk/neoclassic/breakcore/black metal: https://youtu.be/UBakgOHKI-g?t=352

Sometimes you find some experimental gems on Soundcloud as well: https://soundcloud.com/isqamusic/tree_eater

There are also some more recent 'mainstreamish' subgenres of trance too, search for psycore, hitech, high-bpm, etc...

Unless you mean pushing the genre forward with also having a large audience, in which I would think more recent examples are Savant which has a lot of 8-bit and really well crafted dubstep (https://savantofficial.bandcamp.com/album/zion) or `*wave` (e.g. vaporwave).

I feel like IDM sort of stalled, too. At one point, it seemed like we had some great minimalist work being done, some outstanding glitchy-sounding IDM coming from Autechre and Aphex Twin, and now there's-- what? Nothing, maybe. Definitely seems like we're in a rut (or maybe I'm getting too old to follow the scene properly anymore?)

Check out the recommended music section and their best albums of the year at Resident Advisor. Objekt's latest is probably something you would like.
