It's not that classic things are inherently purer, but they are the best of the best. The classics survive over time while the bulk of their contemporaries are forgotten. Popular art is attractive because it's new, but after a while, most of it becomes tired. Only the best has a depth that people will appreciate many years from now, but it's impossible to judge if something will be a classic until you give it time to prove itself.
- scintill76 11y agoThis is true and a fair point. You might say that even video games have been around long enough that we can start to name the "classics" (though we might judge more about the game than the music -- maybe this is like how some classical music we perform alone now, originated from opera etc.) On the other hand, the article does mention newer games like Halo and Mass Effect. So it would be more sensible to complain about hearing Mass Effect when you wanted Mozart.
