1.) it's easy to generalize + it makes your point of view less interesting.
2.) hate is a strong word, don't throw it around like that.
3.) you're an elitist, get fucking over yourself and accept people make choices for themselves. some people can't appreciate bach's 'groundbreaking' music since they just can't be bothered. don't forget people are different and they have the right to be different.
"Being a composer of (contemporary) classical music, I am constantly reminded that this great long tradition of classical music, which has evolved for centuries from Machaut to Bach to Mozart and Beethoven to Wagner, Mahler, Schönberg up to 20th century modernism, has suddenly become a dying tradition that has no meaning anymore to most of the people in our culture – thanks to the emergence of pop music as THE dominant musical paradigm of our time – and it sometimes makes me really, really embittered."
music still has the same meaning as it has centuries ago, and that is to entertain (yes, and to 'worship', but put that aside for a second). people are just trying to make new music, problem is, everything's been done before, but not with beats and synths though.
point is, get over your elitist-self and let people decide for themselves what they listen too.
compose more and worry less about other people's interests in music.
