Ever read a serious Metal fan go on about how Nirvanna sucks and has no talent?

How about a Prog head talking down about punk rock because it's "just 3 chords"

Or a Blues fan going on about wanky prog rock?

I don't think it has anything to do with classical or rock or whatever.

People write from their perspective. If music doesn't make sense to them from their perspective, of course, they aren't going to "get it"

I try to appreciate music from all perspectives, so my collection is very diverse, from Mahler and Shostakovich (classical) to Dead Kennedys and Black Flag (punk) to King Crimson and Yes (prog) to Iron Maiden and Mastodon (metal) to ....

well you get the idea.

Sometimes people just need to "put on new ears" so to speak.

It can be quite fun.

Don't generalize about classical fans because of a few "snobs"

There are plenty of snobs that listen to other kinds of music as well...
