Classical music isn't superior to other types of music in and of itself, though the characteristics associated with it often make it more interesting listening than a lot of what's out there. Musical complexity, variety, experimentation, and motivic development are far more prominent in classical music than than in many types of modern music. It's perhaps for this reason that I keep returning to classical music more than any other genre.
