How bout this for a C composer?
He's famous for syrupy orchestral Americana like Billie The Kid and Appalachian Spring, but this is the real $hit. |

tfw you're so irrelevant that people regularly pretend to like you for social purposes
|
But don't actually listen so not very relevant.
|
Nothing's wholly relevant anymore you dumb bitch.
|
By your standards relevancy is pretty hard to lose.

My key contention here is using the audience as evidence against there being an audience for the genre on the assumption that they're not trve enough. Even if it were true, there wouldn't be so many fake emcees in classical music if there wasn't a relevant element to cater to. |
Want me to lend a hand with those goalposts?
|
It was the starting point that I clarified for a particular dumb bitch.
|
Trying to redefine relevancy is not a starting point
|
Why are you redefining relevancy then?
|
Ah, the Rubber/Glue defense.
|
You're just mad I'm not letting you gatekeep relevancy.
|
Isn't that kinda the point of relevancy?
|
What seems sad to me is that most of the people who say it's still "relevant" believe that "classical music" is something along the lines of the soundtrack of Frozen, the inspiration behind Eric Carmen's "All by myself", and BBC's disgusting Last Night of the Proms. I'd rather become an ICP groupie and chug sugar water at every show than sit through 15 minutes of this:

You know the Faygo thing is actually a lot of fun.

I can see that, I love the whole carnivalesque aspect of it: a gathering of the juggalos is where all the rules that govern your normal life are suspended, you do the opposite of what you would do in everyday life etc. Seems cool.

re: Juggalos
if only it could be done to a soundtrack of non-suck ass music |
I'd go to a gathering, that **** looks fun af.

But for the remainder of the year you suspend or even overturn all your ideas about what is good music and embrace the joys of dissolving yourself in the crowd, of no longer knowing or caring where you end and your neighbor begins, of gurgling brightly colored soda pop and whatever else they do for fun. Sounds interesting, no? |

Bad music is like an intolerable smell
although I'm imagining they got the bad smell too |

Holy **** I heard the best album I’ve heard in a long time last night, it fuses classical impressionism with Neo-Soul and Hip Hop.
Look up Infinity Knives, Dear Sudan is the album. Destined to become an MB classic bc it’s so unknown. Imo better than to pimp a butterfly |

Music is relevant if people still want to play it and listen to it. And there are plenty of people who enjoy playing and listening to classical music. So yes, it's still" relevant".

You sound like a man of superior judgement. Welcome to MB!

I believe classical music is still extremely popular, especially among certain groups of people including me.

Huh usually it's the guys who are this autistic

Yeah, it's usually men who are snobs.

I think classical music is still highly relevant. Just look at how popular Han Zimmer is with the incredible music we hear in movies!
This is my favourite classical piece to date: |
relevance is a dubious concept. If relevance is defined in consequentialist terms only, no music has greater relevance than Taylor Swift - and no human has greater influence than Selena Gomez or the Rock.
Give it another 50 years. Taylor Swift will be forgotten, but Beethoven will still be there making the world a better place. |
