It&#x27;s not that classic things are inherently purer, but they are the best of the best. The classics survive over time while the bulk of their contemporaries are forgotten. Popular art is attractive because it&#x27;s new, but after a while, most of it becomes tired. Only the best has a depth that people will appreciate many years from now, but it&#x27;s impossible to judge if something will be a classic until you give it time to prove itself.
