Classic vs Modern, which is better in media (Movies, Music, Video games)?

[Dr. Peach]

We all have feelings of whether which era of media was good or bad, exciting and not so exciting.

So I thought I might make a poll called Classic vs Modern just to see what people prefer.

What do you think it is better, classic or modern?

Me personally, I like Classic. Those were the best days. Some modern stuff is good though.

I have a preference for modern, but my vote is that it doesn't matter, whichever era fits you better is the good one.

There's ample amounts of good things and complete shit in any era, really, so there isn't THAT much of a difference there. The tone changes as societal values and priorities shift, but the ratio stays roughly the same.

I am predisposed to believe that the quality of media was better in the past, but that's mainly just because I was a kid back then and everything felt new and exciting. Nowadays I have more experience and am thus harder to impress, which might result in a perceived lack of excitement about modern media.

I feel like the era doesn't matter so long as the piece is great.

i think part of why classic seems better sometime is that a lot of the complete trash was justifiably forgotten, while most of the good stuff survived anyway

as for me, i don't really care. i just look for it to be good, and whether it's super primitive gameboy or cutting edge playstation 4, if it's good that's what makes me like it

i only watch movies from 400BC or earlier

don't talk to me about your modern trash

"classic" makes me think of the same queen and journey songs played ad infinitum, as well as people who exited in this community from 2007-2009 coming back every 3 months to talk about the 'good ol days' where they terrorized darkmyst staff and unabashedly enforced rules differently based on who they like

i'm gonna go with "modern" for literally only that reason and ignore all other contexts

im a radical 90s kid

the 90s were the best decade in human history

if you werent born in the 90s you dont exist

remember rugrats

i do because im from the 90s

 

[Dr. Peach]

I was born after the 90s was over. On Halloween of 2000 to be exact. I did grew up with some nineties stuff and some 80s stuff. I kinda had a thing for classic stuff and still do.

I'll have to say that games in the older days were better. People didn't got as much rushed garbage as they do now. Modern games these days defy Shigeru Miyamoto's statement of "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad".
