Every YouTube video for a song over 20 years old has at least one 
comment along the lines of, "We had such awesome music back then, now 
all we've got is Justin Bieber."

Every era has had its share of excellent acts that were remembered in 
later generations, and also its share (much larger) of briefly popular 
but ultimately forgettable stuff.

Past times have better reputations because the trash has been taken out.
