That makes the music relevant.
We're disagreeing on a word: relevant. By your definition, you are correct.

To answer the OP question, I guess I don't know the answer. Obviously less people today are naturally exposed to classical music than they are to other genres. But most people who have responded to this thread enjoy classical music. I think it is alive and well. That's all I've got.
