I agree entirely with you. Even though there's a lot of bad music 
being made, there's still so much good music too. I don't think 
it's really that much different from then, I also believe that 
for nostalgic reasons people won't think newer music is better, 
even when it is. Same reason some people think movies etc. were 
better back then, when that isn't close to the truth either. Tons 
of movies I watched as a child and thought were amazing that I 
rewatched as an adult and hated.
