Every generation has a different opinion about what the greatest music is. My parents thought the late sixties early seventies was the greatest period in music. My grandma thought that the peak of music was Beethoven and Bach. A lot of younger kids think music from the last 20 years was the peak (they are objectively wrong). But the entire 20th century has seen a real revolution in music. From the invention of Jazz and Blues in the first half of the century to the invention of Rock and Roll in the 50’s and onwards. Every era has great music. As someone who grew up in the eighties I can tell you there was a LOT of shit music (see video above). People look back on the eighties with their nostalgia goggles on. Kids just hear all the good stuff and never hear the bad stuff that doesn’t get played anymore.
