By that flawed rationale, enjoying a classic movie or song is just "nostalgia value" just because today's content has better/more modern effects... |
Music and to lesser extent movies lack objective quality indicators. What doesn a "good song" sound like? I can't tell you, because it's subjective as butt. What does a good game look like? That I can tell you. And people can tell you with their wallets.
But yes, a lot of times even music and movies can be sustained on nostalgia value alone. It's actually pretty easy to measure: do people who were born WAY after the movie/music had been created still like it? No? Then it's nostalgia value only.
