I've never been a big fan of people calling well-composed music "pretentious." Just because someone puts work into an art form doesn't mean it's pretentious. Now, if you're referring to Verlaine as a person being like that, then maybe he was, but the music is not. Sometimes music can be pedantic which can get annoying, but Television is not pedantic.
