I don't see a reason to dismiss this thread and as I said, it is a nice thing to bring up. But I do see a reason to dismiss this statement of Fux right away, as it stands. I would dismiss any statement that says "the music of today is insane" without giving a more detailed reasoning and it doesn't not matter to me whether the person who said it is a well-known musicologist like Fux, or whether it's gianluca saying "pop music sucks".
If Fux did give a more detailed reasoning, discussing it would be another thing, but like that I'll just put it off as the ranting of a conservative old man who doesn't like things changing. Not because there may or may not have been good reasons for this statement, but because doing otherwise would do unjustice to all the well-argued points less well-known people have raised but aren't discussed.
