I also don't think this is a bad thing. Just because people aren't elevated to mythical status in music anymore doesn't actually degrade the quality of music. People just get confused because they equate the best music only with people who are legendary. You have to listen to a lot more music than that before you gain any real perspective.
Of course, this is why I asked who actually listens to Bach or Beethoven on a regular basis. These composers are treated as godlike by people that would almost never actually listen to them, it's disgusting.
*Raises hand*
And I'd wager I have a much broader taste than most other people in this topic, since my library goes from noise music, to ambient, to forgotten 50's blues, to jazz, to the good ol' rock standbys. This doomsaying is ridiculous and you should feel bad for it.
