OP didn't mean it was always the case, he just referred to composers prone to being namedropped by people with little knowledge
Debussy is a favorite of people who don't actually listen to classical music but feel the need to namedrop at least one composer to appear eclectic.

He's the most entry level an d possibly least challenging 20th century composer.
>>53308269
Nah cause at least it means they know about serialism.

Fuck off. Mingus and Stravinsky are both gods.

>challenging = good
>>53308206
Is it just me, or does Stravinsky totally look like MJK from Tool in this photo?
>>53308923
romantic music in general is pleb central of western classical.
>>53310451
Well, it and Minimalism are a shared throne.
Two different kinds of plebeians.
>>53310470
nah, the popular composers between haydn and debussy are the plebbiest. and vivaldi, of course.
alternate challenge: name composers who, while popular, are rarely namedropped by people who don't listen to classical. my vote is for lully.
>>53310191
yeah, i agree. it's just that when someone says "mingus, le list on and on..." they probably don't know much about jazz in the first place.
>>53310550
Purcell, Gluck, perhaps Janacek.
People who don't listen to period/historically informed performance recordings of Baroque, Classical and to a certain extent, some Romantic works are most plebeian.

i like purcell and i'm a complete classical pleb

>Janacek
i fucking love janacek, and yeah you're probably right, although janacek was actually one of the first classical composers i started listening to. schumann also fits here.
>shut-ins talking shit about legitimately good composers
>>53310945
we aren't talking shit about them, it's just that they're the most name-dropped ones among plebs. that has nothing to do with the actual quality of their music.
