Not true, as Classical Music is a genre, not a time when all music sounded like that.

We hardly call old folk songs "Classical Music", because although they are classic music from hundreds of years ago, they are not classical music.

Some of my favorite composers are living amoung us today, namely Matt Gates, John Williams and Danny Elfman.

Some of my all time favorite composers died not long ago, or hundreds of years ago, it doesn't matter.
