I kind of hate this notion of a "dated style" as if film has made a steady progression in the direction of quality.
It kind of does. The techniques and technology available today absolutely enable you to create a higher quality film than you could in 1900.
Certainly this is true for some markers of "quality." I'm pretty confident that some of what falls under the description of "dated style" are what I'd describe as trends that aren't particularly reliant on technology.
