Okay, well this seems to be a new point you're making. I think we all realize that you can't have features that are eternal/absolute.
Your example doesn't carry your point. Beethoven, like Mozart actually is popular simply because both are part of mass culture. Classical music however is not part of popular culture and is restricted to certain niches.
Also, there is a legimitate view out there that pop music hasn't changed for the past few decades, and has certain recurring themes - love, loss, sex, etc. But anyway, that is not a very interesting conversation.
I don't agree with your view on resumes. In my opinion, resume writing comes down to knowing the mind of the person who is going to read the resume and convincing them that you're the right candidate. Since mind reading is usually a difficult task, all one can do is increase the probability of success by adopting tips and tricks that others have used.

By writing a resume the "common" way, it does not diminish your own value and self-worth. It seems like you want companies to appreciate you only if they hire someone in HR who also appreciates your style of writing resumes. Thats pretty bizzare TBH, but hey whatever works for you.
It's not a new point, it was the first thing I said. Beyond the basics (correctness, accuracy, ease-of-use) what people want in a resume is a fad. What people like in music is just as much a fad.
You can't read a person's mind, but you can change it. That's what your resume is for. You don't have to read any minds, you have to get others to read yours.

If a company hires HR people who think "simple and professional" is not good enough for a resume, then they almost certainly won't appreciate me. Simple and professional is what I'm offering. I'm not going to jump through flaming hoops and read resume acceptance statistics to get noticed. I'm going to solve actual problems.
