What a guy
This, also considering the fact it has the classic fm logo on it.
I feel like Zappa was probably making the distinction between "classical music" and "orchestral music", with the former (in his mind) referring to a very formulaic and staid approach to symphony and Romantic composition
I think he realized that he wasn't the incredible genius he thought he'd be. Criticising what other people create is always an indication that someone is unhappy with his own work
grow up
genres are elitist and snobbish.
intrinsically all music is formulaic. there's even a formula for experimental music: experiment
Most composers up to the 18th century were very much formula people--their music was product commissioned by a king or the church for some event. The Romantic composers are often seen as more substantial because their music was personal and often based around struggles such as Chopin's chronic tuberculosis.
Fuck dead people
—Frank Zappa (1940 – 1993)
the only thing that matters in music is if you can communicate emotionally and withstand criticism
rest can fuck off I don't care about your avant-garde time signatures
That can't be possible since more of it is always being written by people that are alive
holy shit someone get this guy a brainlet meme!
I hate indie music
what's elitist and snobbish is projecting your insecurities so hard that you think your music taste matters to anyone but yourself
Why would classical music be elitist and snobbish? Anyone can download and listen to a classical record these days. They're even streamable on YouTube with millions of views.
That
Huh, I guess Zappa's technically classical music
It's good unlike Zappa
only retards think things are elitist and snobby
classical music sucks but modern orchestral is pretty good
the music itself it's not
classical fans are definitely elitist and snobbish
