The main difference I notice is that the music was actually pretty damn good.
No, the stuff that people remember is pretty good. Several decades of filtering out the wheat from the chaff had resulted in a 'survival of the fittest'. There's plenty of good music and complaining that there isn't just exposes yourself as a lazy, sloven fuck that refuses to actually go looking for it.
A restaurant I go to regularly plays repeats of top-40 countdowns from the '80s.
It is pretty much universally good stuff.
Top-40 countdowns from today are exactly what I described. Boring, overproduced autotune garbage and shitty rap and hip hop.
But go on, throw some more personal insults like a 5 year old because someone didn't feel it was necessary to say "but there's good stuff out there if you dig for it" because everybody fucking knows that.
Yeah, the stuff that is remembered is good. But if you think everything from the decade was worth listening to, I suggest checking out the vinyl section from your nearest Goodwill.

And several decades from now, people are going to filter out all the crap just like they filtered out Barbra Streisand and "We Are The World" from the collective consious of the 1980's.

"Baawwwww! Someone called me names on the internet! That means they're a child!" Fuck off and accept that you're old.
