In many cases (not all) older music is better, too.
That's survivorship bias. No one plays the old music that sucked because it sucked, the current songs that suck haven't died yet to leave only the ones people liked.
Wrong.

Old timey music was also a lot less complex than classical music.
Which means your old bands also suck by your own logic.
You don't know my bands, fuck you.
Complex doesn't equal good (although I'm just reading the link and not opening it maybe it has another point)
I pretty much only hear music from around 2004 -2014 played in public. I really couldn’t tell you most new music. I certainly remember 80s music being played in high school but it didn’t totally dominate like 2000s music still does
