New is extremely important in art. If people weren't willing to give something a shot because it's the new, it would be impossible for debut art to get a foothold, and as a result the old stuff wouldn't be as good because we wouldn't recognize and reward new artists.
Processing new releases into our culture is the way that we form that culture in the first place and make progress.
If we don't keep an eye out for new voices, we'll be stuck with the old ones forever. It's really hard to break through as a new arrival, why would you want to make it even harder?
