When you think about it, we don't do this to any other artform except architecture. There was no point where everyone got together and said, "music from the early 1900s is shitty! Let's destroy all the records from that era and never listen to it! Everyone should replace their tastes with Rock and Roll!"

While many people simply stopped listening to old music, there wasn't that determination to remove it from society, that vitriolic hatred directed against it, that we see with older architectural styles. But then music doesn't have architectural renaissances either.

Classical architectural styles came and went as well. I am sure in the same era, an Italianate style home was seen as rather ostentatious and unnecessarily showy compared to the contemporary, flat faces of Edwardian architecture.
