Classic does not = Baroque/Romantic? (alternative, rock, genre, Nirvana)

Ok, people... please stop saying that your favorite classical composer is Chopin and Bach. Their romantic and Baroque. To mix up the three would be completely terrible to the people who invented those genres, so to speak. Putting everything into the classical era is insulting to your "favorites", and giving to much credit to the Classical composers. imo

I'm pretty sure Baroque and Romantic were just eras of classical music in general

It's the difference between music that is in the Classical style (as opposed to Baroque, Romantic etc etc) rather than "classical" music as a whole; classical being the word to describe what could be termed Western Art Music.

The OP is incorrect in their assertion that using the term classical to describe all these genres is incorrect.

Threadstarter officially takes things far too seriously. I have an A level in Music and I'm going to university for further study, and even I dont really think its that important.

I see somebody wishes to show off their newly-gained knowledge of classical music.

Anything before the 1900s can be considered classical; be that Medieval, Baroque, Renainssance, Romantic or the true Classical music - it's all classical nonetheless.

Do you get pissed when I say Nirvana is my favorite rock artist? Or do I have to say he was my favorite Alternative Rock artist? In my mind, Classical Music has always been an umbrella term for Romantic, Baroque, Film Music, what ever. In my mind atleast.

Idk, just one Classical fan's humble opinion.
