Samuel Clemens posted:Romanticising the past and lamenting that the current cultural output can't compete with the glory days is a common occurence in all art forms, but it seems to be especially pervasive when it comes to music. I don't know why. Maybe most people just have stronger emotional ties to songs than they do to films or books. I think with books, the people that actually read regularly understand that there's genre trash (and generally always has been) and there's still legit stuff coming out. With films, it's specifically limited to their childhood. Like very few people looks at [random 1930s film] and says "why can't stuff be like that anymore". More likely they'll say "why isn't this in color". With songs, I think it's that your parents are more likely to play their old stuff all the time, plus there's a consistent output of "popular songs are terrible".
