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".

To me pop music isn't relevant. I never listen to it. Unless I have to take the elevator. Or go shopping. Then I'm forced to listen.

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.

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.
