Classical music is not pretentious because it truly is the greatest music ever written.Jazz and prog are pretentious because they are not deserving of the prestige that classical music commands; they are musically inferior, and yet their devotees treat them like classical music.
Normal people: hey man how's it going
nobody thinks that jazz and prog have the same prestige as classical
>>130419894>prog>prestigeCritics hated prog at the time and it still doesn't get that much respect besides a few big bands like King Crimson and Pink Floyd
>>130419894Classical music is not pretentious because it truly is the greatest music ever written.I’m just gonna leave you to think that one over.
>>130419894Classical Music is god tier but it has 1 flaw. Acoustic only. Only in "Neo" Classical you hear synths, electric guitars, electric violins, etc. Eventually you get bored of the woody sound and you crave electronic sound. Happened to me.Electronic noise is just as valid as non electronic, electricity is in fact more fundamental to reality, than vibrating a string physically and its vibration being echoed by a "hollow" cave-in

Yeah it might be the "greatest music" but who actually just listens to only classical music. It would be like watching your favorite movie on repeat because its the greatest movie or whatever, no one does that

>>130419894>and yet their devotees treat them like classical musicThey don't, this is something that insecure classical snobs project onto other genres.
>>130419899Unbearably faggot-ass post.
>>130422619>who actually just listens to only classical music.Me and I know plenty of others who do too.
>>130419894Jazz exists because Classical music gave up improvisation.Beethoven and Chopin played improv gigs.Modern classical musicians can't chew gum without printed instructions.
>>130422608Hip Hop has more right to be called music than everything in Abysmalunless your argument is >It's poetry over a looped sampleWhich I consider validLatin Jazz also is on par with Jazz btw
>>130422598tfw you realize that EDM is the classical of today
>>130424473Dubstep is far superior to hip hop due to the endless creativity and revolutionary Sound Design.

>>130419894Subhuman tiny dick cracKKKers like OP stole all their musical knowledge from Black and Brown people. So called "classical music" is just a bunch of untalented yt pedos stealing African and Indian's peoples music and claiming it as their own
>>130419894The only genre of classical that reaches the heights of the best prog and jazz is pipe organ music, because it's the only one with proper bass.
>>130419894You're not wrong.

>>130424770>African and Indian's peoples music>Indian we see you
>>130419894Classical is pretentious as hell, there's no more pretension than in classical
>>130422598I had the opposite, I started with non classical music and when I started listening to and playing classical I hate the electronic sound, even the sound a classical guitar through an amplifier makes me want to puke.Neo classical is acceptable but it'd be better with actual instruments.
>>130426152feel smart using that word over and over yet
>>130427630Well I used it twice, so how smart should I feel?
Classical music is not evolving. How many well known classical pieces were written in the last 60 years? Any?
>>130419894Classical music was made to evoke some kind of emotion and convey ideas i.e. what music is intended for. Jazz and prog rock made so geeks and drug addicts can jack off over how much they can noodle their guitars and saxophones.
