What happened to Classical music?

[Strykla]

No, not classic rock, put Classical. What happened? People these days have no respect for it, instead choosing noise like Lady gaga and Katy perry. Where's the respect? People say that Classical music is stupid, tiresome, and boring. Yeah? musicians played a cello and a violin, not screamed death metal into a mic, not wearing horribly improper clothing. And their music has lasted for hundreds of years.

I have played the violin for about 4 years! My ipod has only classical on it. I've been made fun of because of my passion for classical music.

Thank you.

I like classical music (I play tuba), but I prefer to listen to metal in my spare time. However metal draws influences from classical music.

[Zirconim]

I like Classical, just not as much as rock and metal. However, I do play a vast amount of classical instruments and implement classical influences in most of my own rock/metal music.

[The REAL Glasers]

Maybe because it's full of pretentious, pompous douches like you?

I'm a big fan of 20th century Classical, but most of the other stuff doesn't catch my attention, probably because the early stuff was mostly bound by convention.

Clothing is hardly indicative of the quality of music, if an artist's clothing affects your opinion of their music then you've been listening wrong your entire life.

[Bafuria]

Classical music is alright.

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

I do like Classical Music, however, I enjoy other music a little better (such as Hatsune Miku :3). I will admit though, it is better than a *lot* of stuff today. :3

[North Breifne]

I play the violin and cello and I only have Classical and Classical Fusion on my ipod, every once and awhile, my friends will recognize that some of the music is really good...

No one intelligent hates on classical music. Even if they don't listen to it, they respect it.

You hang out with stupid people too much.

[Acaiteron]

I listen to classical music quite often. It's great stuff.

[Jervak]

Classical music can be enthralling. Though I wouldn't listen to it regularly.

Maybe so.
I just realized how ironic it is I'm ranting about how people sometimes disrespect good music, and at the same time I'm listening to Hell March.

[Hegstoria]

I like clasiscal, but it isn't my favorite. Though I will say, if there's two instruments I love, it is the Piano and the violin. Those two devices can create both the saddest and most heart wrenching music, or the most lively and exciting music, I love them. I still like my classic rock, Alt, and Indy more, none of the heavy metal thrasher crap.

[Hypparchia]

It's just not music for the masses. One needs to be a bit more sensitive to music to be able to understand it.

[The Red Syndicate]

I love Classical, Debussy is the best.

Classical music calms you down. I almost punch someone in the face if it wasn't for classical playing in my mp3 player.

[North Breifne]

I have to say no genre has had an impact on society more than baroque, classical and romantic instrumental....

Classical certainly hasn't gone away and judgung by the increasing popularity of the Proms isn't going away any time soon.

But maybe thats just another example of just how much more awesome Britian is than the US

[Hassett]

It became modern.
