Are you kidding me, when my bro Mozart drops that beat at the ball, all the mademoiselles go crazy!

[mazgraz]

I'm a music student and I can tell you from where I'm standing classical music ain't dead!! I value classical music and pop equally (and I'd recommend working out to a Shostakovich symphony, it's genuinely the best workout music)

[HulittyJing]

I'd totally work out listening to Moonlight Sonata Mov. 3. That sh*t is crazy!!!!

My heart melted a little when mitch was trying to shut him up and he just goes "honey"

Sorry Greg but Mitch is right, classic is WAY better.

As a musician, I would have to vote classical music. It is a million times more interesting that pop music. Especially orchestra pieces (haha, my violin bias is showing). The different textures that come out of every instrument overlapping one another just makes it so much better. Besides, classical music can be so much longer than pop music. This allows for many sections to function like chapters in a story and allows for the piece to develop enough to add in some key changes, tempo changes, all sorts of dynamic changes, etc.

Classical music isn't boring!! Make him shook and play some Rite of Spring!!

[BriannaLowe]

I can rock out to Mozart's Requiem ANYDAY!

As someone who listens to everything and loves it all, classical for the world. And can we admire classically trained dancers as the amazing athletes they are?

Classical music is better because pop is just watered down chords and an intense beat. The same two or three chord progressions are used in basically every song. It takes time studying music theory and piano or other instruments to write an original piece of classical music. It takes about two minutes on garage band to write a catchy pop song.

_someone claims classical music is dead and useless with no appeal_

Me in my head: *SHOSTAKOVICH PLAYING FULL BLAST*

[sydneychap]

Love pop music but classical music still slay

[asdfqwertA]

Love two educated people in a relationship just debating 😂

[Repus]

Classical music literally gives me goosebumps. By far the most emotional, diverse, entertaining and timeless form of music out there. In 100 years time people won't know any of the top ten currently. But in 100 years people will still be listening to the classics.

[daffo]

I love both but Classical music is really something special

[laladeelaladoo]

Classical vs pop.
Lemme explain why both are hard as a person who does both.

Pop: chord progression, play by ear, improvisation, there's no legitimate sheet music to help you. And the music teacher demands you to play songs without searching it on google.

Classical: *sight reading*

[seagullseb]

Classical, and any derivative of that (such as metal actually, and prog stuff)

[Jpanda]

Its okay to enjoy bad music, you just have to have the musical knowledge and emotional maturity to admit to yourself it's objectively bad, and still enjoy it anyway. Pop music mostly sucks, but if I wanna bump and grind to shitty pop, that's harmless. I'll always know what music is actually good and appreciate non pop music more.

“Classical music helps ppl to go to sleep”
Sure, try listening to Beethoven symphony No.5, Moonlight sonata 3rd movement and Chopin etude op 25 no 11, op.4 no 10 and Liszt etude no.6 when you sleep. That will help ur sleep quite a bit

[ivansrg]

Nothing is better than a Bach fugue or cantata (specially BWV 3).
