However, on the "un-cool" side of the spectrum is the pompous, condescending, classical music lover. Most are the same, they look down on anyone that doesn't appreciate classical music. I was recently challenged by one of these pompous nitwits about my taste in music.
Music was brought up in the conversation and I merely stated that I do not really care for classical music. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, it just doesn't suit my ear. Well! One would have thought that I insulted the very notion of civility in society. Classical music lovers, almost exclusively, are pompous, insecure dolts that are doing their best to appear more intelligent than the rest. (if you don't agree, reference Major Charles Winchester from M*A*S*H)
Classical music lovers, please, don't judge others based on your archaic, boring, insecure, phony tastes. Live and let live, Beethoven would have. (if he hadn't been dead for about 7000 years)
-NEWSFLASH- Music can also be fun. Music can also be inspirational. Music can also be just a temporary escape from the humdrum of life. There is a reason classical music lovers sit alone on weekends, sip cognac and listen to Bach..it's because nobody else can stand to be around them!
As far as the pompous classical music lovers go, I defy you to show me one single attractive, socially balanced, interesting and exciting classical music lover on the face of the planet. Cause that person, doesn't exist.
