Speak for yourself, you fucking pleb.

>he thinks classical is a genre!

Who is shocked that a pleb can't appreciate a symphony?

>classical
I agree OP I much prefer Baroque.

classical music is beautiful in the way that antique instruments or baroque architecture is, and because it is so conventional, the music becomes more about abstraction and ideas in sonic form.

but mostly, it gives people something safe they can like and analyze and appreciate since its a vaunted cultural institution.

Fun fact: I recently reckoned that I like listening to MIDI files for that reason, namely that the abstraction, the composition, is more conspicuous when the timbre and texture and whatever is simplified.

I didn't come to this conclusion with classical, but

isn't typical rock either.

This. I love classical music you uncultured swine.

also theoretically everyone only has about 2 or 3 favorite pieces of classical music so maybe you just haven't heard the right ones yet

Sorry, what?

Theoretically, everyone has 1 favourite of anything by definition of 'favourite', unless you mean some Dunbar number shit.

Not "classical" but I have a feeling you don't really mean music from the classical period and instead refer to "old symphonic music" etc...

Honestly I'm not a huge fan of older stuff but something about this piece is really touching, I don't know why.

I don't like much baroque but there's alot to like in classical. Try this, I just liked it, no pretentious bullshit, I just thought it sounded good.

Just doing the board a favour and dropping this here.

I like some, the one that plays when a rocket is about to launch, you know the one, and hungarian dances or whatever, I only know them from some vidya i play.

Movie scores are so much better than the other shit though I tried to listen and it just sounds primitive or something
