99% of everything is crap. I assure you 99% of music from all times was crap. Most of the crap simply isn't passed down to future generations. Will you introduce your kids to the wonders of the Bieber? If not, they won't even know he existed, and they'll only know the good music from our generation. And they'll think our music was amazing and 99% of their music is crap.

I agree, there are also instances of bands that aren't poular in their time becoming popular once people discover them years later.

There's also the issue that the farther back you go, the less likely a lousy band would be to even be recorded. Nowadays, anyone can record an album. But 80 years ago? How about all the shitty baroque composers whose works were buried beneath the legacy of Bach and the like?
