That is true about anything in music, you can even say that in regards to The Beatles. What they meant in their own time and what they mean
now are entirely different. Even the art music that has survived and is played today has changed its audience over the course of the few hundred years since it first was created.

You are totally missing the point, of course it's not a apples to apples comparison that is clear, saying that about The Beatles was to draw a conclusion for the purpose of showing their importance - when considering both creativity and popularity.
