No bloody way.
Even today classical music is of big relevance,
and it is a huge inspiration to get a free and light mind,
to be able to get through your day with a big smile.
That is what relevance is in my eyes.
Music that is able to inspire, that is able to make people smile,
that is able to make them angry, to make them think, or laugh..
THIS is relevance. You are talking about popularity,
and popularity is nothing, but a fading shadow.
At day you see it cleary - and then the sun sets,
and you can only see its echo, projected by electrical light.
Until even that is gone, and the shadow's "popularity" with it,
but not its relevance
