"The only reason we think that there was no musical schlock in times past is because it didn't endure."

Yup -

Once, while in the car with my dad, we were listening to the oldies radio station, and there was a run of some simply awful music. It finally got to the point where I said, "What the hell is this junk? I thought all "oldies" were supposed to be good.." He clarified it for me, saying that this dreck was the reason why the Beatles got so big when they came onto the scene.

It will take a lot of research, with a lot of resources, to find any of the barely-above-average music of Bach's era, let alone the no-talent junk. Bad music is just like a dog turd -- you'll discover it, be bothered by it, and it'll stay around for a while... but it will eventually dissolve into non-existence.
