Reminder that classical music is pop music. It was pop music at its time. So next time you tip your fedora and say "I don't listen to pop music, I only listen to classical." You're still listening to pop music. Same with Jazz.

nah pop is a relative term

yikes

what board did you crawl out from?
I'm guessing Sup Forums

Why are you saying something we all already know?

Only self-wanking fags try to say classical is anything else

I'm gonna "pop" a cap in your face, faggot

I know this is bait but, for the retards who might take this guy seriously

classical is art music. "pop music" of earlier centuries would be folk songs, chants, lyrics, dance music, etc etc that was never (okay, rarely) recorded or written down

What is exactly wrong with pop music?
I find enjoyment in both pop and classical.

yeah of course you do, pleb

nope, folk was pop music

T-thanks...

Nothing it's just the clarification that classical music is/was pop music no matter ho much classicalfags try to tell you otherwise

reply to this post or your mom dies

No it fucking wasn't, you god damned retard. Classical music has and ALWAYS WILL BE art music for the elite of society; in the past, the "pop music" were shitty folk ditties that people nowadays pretend to like because it makes them seem worldly or some shit.

The only good music is Classical. This is an objective truth. Now fuck off back to Sup Forums.

K den

NOT SO FAST.

What the fuck is this video?

no rabies

Shit like early Mozart or Vivaldi are pop music sure, but Romantic period classical is legitimately art music any anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't taken basic music appreciation. If you think composers like Schubert or Liszt are "pop music" you're an idiot. Plain and simple.

Still, to say all classical music is art music like this idiot, , is flat out wrong and the argument that it's for the "elite of society" is fucking bullshit because the elite of society was elite because they like to sit around and count their fucking money. If they were going to drop a few grand to get some fuckboy compose some shit, it better sound pleasing. A lord doesn't want to waste money so a composure can produce something like "Joy to the World" or "The Erlking" and have his guests be weirded out. If he is going to drop that money on a composition, it's got to appeal to the masses or his guests are going to view him as a freak. That's why late Beethoven was such a controversial figure, despite how his compositions changed fucking everything.

Now that we're talking about classical, what's the largest, least-subtle, loudest, richest fucking orchestral work by any composer ever made? Something by Berlioz, or Wagner? I want to get my mind blown by the grandeur, my dick kicked into the fucking dirt, so pls respond.

damn..

>classical is art music
They got paid/commisioned to write these pieces you know
Just because you can mentally masturbate while listening to it doesn't mean it wasn't popular music made to recieve money

All Classical is art music. "Art music" is a definite term and is not subjective; it means it was written and composed before being played. Folk music is not written, and pop music is recorded but not written.

Imagine being so autistic that a retarded thread like this one could get you angry enough to write something like this

>Romemetic is legitimately art
lol

pleb detected

hehe so meta :P
