I think it's because the arts thrive on bringing something new to public domain; new sounds, new styles, new talent. The old tends to fade from memory. It's the nature of the beast.
The whole "new stuff sux" mentality is just the human reluctance to change. Change is easy when you're young and still figuring out who you are and what the world means to you, but I imagine it's hard as Hell once you've made up your mind and settle down in your comfort zone.
"The world changes, we do not, therein lies the irony that finally kills us." -- Anne Rice
