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.

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)
