The major problem with classical music is that it has been hijacked by the middle class, turning what could be a rewarding and challenging musical genre for many people into something only enjoyed by preening, pretentious twats.

If you want to see the worst loving kind of people watch the Last Night of the Proms. If I was a musician performing I would want to kill every single one of them in the most violent way possible.

The good thing about classical music is that mostly everything you can easly find has stood the test of time. All the bad stuff has been forgotten over the centuries.

It's all about knowing opus numbers.

Person A: "I really like Beethoven's 5th symphony."

Person B: (while adjusting his glasses) "Personally, I find the opus 67 rather boring."

Person B totally wins that exchange cause he knows the opus numbers.

They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.
As Thread Emperor I declare that nobody is allowed to say anything about contemporary classical music (Hanz Zimmer doesn't count lol) until he or she has listened to the entirety of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo_RyHTnERU.
