Criticism of Modern Music and Praise of the Music of the Past

A lot of people complain about modern music, saying it’s all trash, and that the music from their generation was so much better. However, there is a lot of good music in the present, mixed in among the rest, and that was most likely the case back then, too. The bad music has been forgotten and the good stuff is all anyone remembers, so it seems like their generation had better music because time has erased all the rest.
