“The past was better” is accurate but only due to selection bias. I read about why SNL gets worse with each cast change. It actually doesn’t. It’s just that people judge the current cast on all of the sketches and past casts on just the sketches they found funny enough to remember. So older music has gone through a filtering process and the mediocre material has fallen away. Oldies stations will have a more consistent appeal because of that.
Yeah, I have nearly 100 records from the 40’s and 50’s. you can tell that not all are great or even good really but when you hand pick 5 out of that 100 you get a biased view
