The context of time, and the, then current events, and the mood of the people collectively, or individually can't be arbitrarily removed to suit ones current bias's on past and/or, the present. If you dwell in the past while shading the current, or live in the now and laugh at the past, one surely has little knowledge or respect for how all music is tied somehow and felt individually before it can be popularized collectively . I don't see it as a competition, and its that stupid outlook that led a few powerful people to stifle some very good music / musicians through out the decades .
