İ don't really get the argument why people thınk some thıngs are better just because they're made ın a certaın time period.
There is a real selection effect going on. Take the older stuff. Of course it seems better. Why would people bother mentioning or archiving music (or art, etc..) if it's forgettable?
Nostalgia is a separate phenomena IMO but acts to reinforce this selection effect (because, why would we (as individuals, this time) bother remembering music/art/etc that's forgettable? That seems as if it would be positively nonfunctional.)
Whereas contemporary creative work has only had a minimal level of filtering by the time we experience it.
