@jcarp6335 "Does that mean Michael Jackson’s music is objectively better?" No,

It's Jan. 4 2223, a small question. How many people will be praising (say) Jackson Pollock? In music, will people be listening to Ella Fitzgerald or Cardi B?

@jcarp6335 You miss the point. Yes, 200 years from today people will still be listening to Wagner AND Ellla Fitzgerald. Reason being They are both Very Very Good and Cardi B is, well Crap.

@jcarp6335 "if you don’t understand that there are loads of people who prefer Cardi B to Ella Fitzgerald or Wagner then I think it’s you who is missing the point." Popularity (at a particular time) has nothing to do with longevity. That Cardi B is popular today, says a great deal about popular tastes in music. And none of it good.
