Haha, entertaining, but I think the one thing that really happens in a society that advanced is that they will highly value things of the past. So even if Mozart and Bach are widely considered inferior to that form, the elite will consider it meaningful to listen to their works and consider it a form of erudition to only be acquainted with them. Past a meaningfully advanced amount of non-scarcity, the only thing that you can't change is time: so that becomes valuable.

The finest super-ceramic will be considered culturally inferior to an old bowl.
