France/F-Pop just NEVER got modern music.

 Nonsense. Jean-Michel JARRE and David GETTA played modern pop songs
which where well known all over the world. I don't consider their music
as great, but they were as modern as they could be at their time.
 

I admit that French pop is outside my own wheelhouse, but I suspect
you're likelier to hear the bombarde in traditional events and
selections from Praetorius than anything on the radio o_O

 If by that you mean that the only French music you know is what you can
hear on the radio, I agree, it's pretty awful. But French music is not
limited to what's on the radio. And, by the way, I can understand one
don't like French music when one's not French because it can help to
have time to be accustomed by it.
 When I was in Germany I discovered the schlagers. On one side, I found
it wonderful to see people singing together. But I was never able to
like it. It was too weird for me. But it doesn't stop me to discover
other German bands like Die Toten Hosen.
 

Nothing beats Swedish Death Metal.
Its those long dark winter nights and all that socialisim that does it. Music to commit suicide to.
