I definitely think the idea of nostalgia with music is complete BS. I've met way too many younger people who prefer music from well before they were born (60s-90s); the music after the 90s really is different from what came before, due to various factors that affected the popular music industry in America (and the west) starting with the rise of the internet. The "loudness wars" are one obvious thing setting newer music apart from older music.
