I simply don't agree with this. I believe it can objectively be said that Brokencyde is bad music.

Music cannot be objective.

It's completely unfair to say this. I mean, there are a lot of musicians who go through extraneous studies, and excersizes to seek perfection. If the existence of quality didn't exist, it would discredit their efforts entirely.

What's the point of writing "Symphonie Fantasique" when it's subjectively equal to "Baby"?

In 500 years the music will be so advanced that even the best music of today will seem like a pile of crap.

That's a positive notion, I'll give you that.

Who knows?

Explain why music 200 years ago is more advanced than today.

He is right. Some things like technical ability aren't subjective.

Musical subjectivity is based on how well the music appeases the mind. In 500 years humans would know so much about the mind that it's plausible to think music will be used as a drug for depression and also a stimulant in war.
