Normies don't give a fuck, it will just alienate you as you will be unable to relate to their music tastes.

At best people will think your some "Le wrong generation" autist, and awkwardly complement your taste because they have nothing better to say. At worst people will think your a pretentious uptight asshole who they will want nothing to do with.

And with your current attitude to approaching classical, you will pick up some really garbage taste that anyone with a cursory knowledge in art music will smell a mile away and recognize you as the insecure fedora you really are.

>>64283662
In that case you don't even need to listen to classical, just telling people you listen to classical and 2-3 classical CDs laying around in your car should be enough. If you really feel like going the extra mile just look up "best of" x composer albums on Spotify.

Enjoy your shit taste m8, come back after you get tired of drowning in intellectual pussy

cute barista asked what I'm listening to,
I show her jewel case for Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto featuring Gary Graffman on piano and say
>Rachmaninov,

she says
>"Oh he's some pianist, lol"
>>
>>64285407
She was embarrassed for you that you were publicly listening to schmaltz like Rachmaninov and pretending it was classical. Only one step away from a Star Wars soundtrack.

Holy fuck you make me sick OP

I rememebr when I was 13 and listened to beethoven and Mozart and thought I was smarter than everyone else

>>64282886
If some normie tells you how AWESOME his favourite pop star is. All you need is to say "'I prefer Beethoven"
>>
Listen to Beethoven's 9th. I'm listening to it now.
Some say the finale is crude and in bad taste, but I don't get it. It gives me a boner.

is this an extremely rare pepe

>>64285551
kill yourself christ
Scriabin > Rachmaninoff though
>>
If you're a vivid, emotional guy, go for Russian late romantics like Rachmaninov

If you're stoic and intellectual (lol) go for Mozart or modern stuff

>>64285604
being an edgy 12 year old helped me find some mozart CD in my parents basement a certain light airy staccato led me to the realization that "it's like they're playing real notes just like on my sister's piano" and then when I finally goaded my mother into taking me to start violin lessons the teacher told me I should play the viola instead because it's her instrument of choice, so 10+ years later now I play both

And playing led me into listening to more composers, and building a musical mentality away from pleb-core

>/classical/ is dead! long live /classical/!

You go to see actual good orchestras, then talk about what happened.

This is fucked up on so many levels but I'm pretty sure the normiest normies don't give a shit about classical music, you won't impress anyone and you'll just be out of touch.
