There are a lot of people who, yes, call it a high art form, but let's say there's someone who says they appreciate classical music but doesn't listen to it often unless they're in the mood. Ask them the last time the listened to classical music of their own accord when they weren't studying or sleeping. Most likely they won't be able to answer. Of course, not all people are like this. Generalizations always have exceptions. But in my experience, they've been in the minority. I know maybe 4 people who actually listen to classical music on a regular basis, and only one is under 40. And she's a music major!
