Great write up! This is definitely a fun idea to debate and ponder. The movie Midnight in Paris explores this a bit. I have thought about this a lot as I have gotten older. The music I listened to in high school was mainly classic rock. I thought the modern music sucked. Then my senior year (2001) and after college I became enamored with the “indie” revival of the 2000s and rediscovered some bands like Radiohead from the 90s. So I was into music in high school that wasn’t contemporary. But after in college, started to like contemporary. I understand that in those formative years music can have a bigger emotional connection. But I don’t think it is 100% this. I think we can judge music objectively over time. The last 15 years for rock music, besides some exceptions, has been bad. I don’t think it is because I am an old fart. I also think we can judge pop music objectively over time. I could keep expanding on this for awhile but will leave it at that for now!
