Why would you expect music to improve? Obviously, taste and music appreciation are very individual, but improvement over time has simply not been my experience.

I had no great interest in music until I heard Little Richard in the mid-fifties. In general I liked about half of what was popular in White circles in the fifties and sixties (including, of course, Black artists like Chuck Berry and Wilbert Harrison), and maybe a third or less of what I heard on the Newark NJ R&B station. Some music that was current then I didn't hear until it's heyday had passed.

In the eighties (!) I discovered boogie woogie, a twenties form probably developed a little earlier. It's still my favorite, and those who are sufficiently talented still produce new pieces all the time.

Most new "music" does not appeal to me at all. I have no need to badmouth what others like, but I certainly don't accept the legitimacy of any assumption that I would or should like ANY particular style.

Improvement? Fageddaboutit.
