I don't think ballad music is more accepted or deemed more credible than up tempo music. There was a time when ballads were looked down upon, particularly when Diane Warren and the Disney writers were things.

Ehhh, you're kind of right, but remember how Adele's "ballad music" was hailed as a breath of fresh air and praised for being pop music but not sonically bombastic.

I think he was referring to like jazz standards though.
This bias runs across all entertainment mediums. Except television, for the most part. Can't think of any other format where pretty much nobody argues that it used to be better than it is right now.
But mostly stans too. Rihanna releases these sleep inducing songs like Stay or What Now and they scream CLASSY RIH! ARTISTIC RIH! while they are nowhere near her best work, which is more uptempo and pop leaning stuff.

That was after several years of bombastic sounding dance-pop all over radio, though...
