This is most evident when it comes to music. I see loads of older musicians, producers, and listeners constantly trashing new music, when the reality is there is loads of great, new music coming into existence regularly. It's just harder to find since the tools are so accessible now, everyone and his dog can make a "professional" sounding recording. And then, the top 40 or whatever has always just been the lowest common denominator.
I feel like more people need to just take a chance on new music and new to them music genres. I locked myself into the rock of the ‘60s-‘70s for a long time and refused to open up to other genres.
But I got over myself and I love the current wave of pop. There are always new good songs coming out and the best way to find it is to plug into online communities that like music generally. The radio and things like Spotify are terrible at helping you find things.
60s-70s rock is pretty darn good, but like you say, there are a lot of people who think music begins and ends there. They're so wrong.
Yeah back in the '90s Hootie and the Blowfish was one of the top bands and all of their music is just fucking super mid-tier garbage. And that's completely because of its extremely broad appeal.
Yeah, for every Pearl Jam, Nirvana, or Soundgarden, there was a Counting Crows, Bush, or Ben Folds Five. Not to mention the boy bands that absolutely dominated the late 90s charts.
