  • the last group in society you go to for a history lesson are teenagers ( unless current popular culture is the topic ). it's OK, we all thought we were experts when we were 16. time proves us all wrong so don't take it personal.

  • Have you actully sat down and seriously listened to it. I bet not

  • People have missed patience, they always want to do things fast in the modern time, that's why almost all songs today are like on;y 5 minutes, while Classical concertos can last for like hours. People have lost patience, and concentration ..

  • @lyue1996 economics is the new virtue of the west. efficiency is the goal and waiting is efficiency's enemy. it's not hard to see why our culture is nearing collapse with ethics of this type being taught. the end as we know it is a blessing. maybe when the chinese come in and pick up the pieces, they might do most of us a favour and shift all the justin bieber fans into labour camps where they can ponder their crimes against society. 

  • i like classical music,and i respect it,,,but i love Dubstep,DnB,Hardstyle,Hard Electro,.-..so let people listen to what they want to?

  • it sucks

  • Do you realize how influential this music really is? A rock or metal band could pick a thousand riffs from this piece alone. A trance producer could remake this. A hip hop producer could take a million samples from this. A pop or soul singer could use a piece of this instrumentation. Let alone the beauty or complexity of the composition. What other music can stir up so many emotions? Classical. I like to see Lady Gaga make this. Other music pales in comparision. It´s Gods music.

  • the reason it's not popular because it's older generations music in a 100 years time the youth probably wont listen to our modern day music, does that make it bad? I like all music from heavy metal to jazz to hip hop to heavy metal to classical. Music all eventually becomes less popular and current it's really a miracle it's lasted this long i mean think about old pop stars some of them are never remembered.

  • @whywatchthistv oh i said heavy metal twice i meant to say electronic music such as dubstep and D n B

  • @whywatchthistv I think people dont like classical music now because its hard to listen to it if you didnt grow up with it. you need a long attention span, and good ear, an understanding of the instrumentals. once you get used to it its actually the most beautiful kind of music in the world. im 17 and listen to classical, mexicano traditional, and thats it. the composers of the time were the most genius men on this planet (musically). they deserve much credit from today's youth.

  • reggaeton, dubstep, mainstream southern hip hop, mainstream country, post hardcore, and post-grunge are all the rage these days. which is unfortunate because i find that musicians in these genres lack the passion, skill, and commitment that other genres have.

    Classical, Jazz, The Blues, Real Punk, Real Heavy Metal, Underground and Political Hip Hop, Folk, and Reggae are real forms of music that most of these kids don't even know about. SEARCH for real music kids, don't listen to the radio.

  • @quocdarock ooo so u must know alot about dubstep and hardcore ,,,ahhahaha stfu ,,,idiot i listened to classical music,,and i love,,it,,but dubstep and hardcore,are awsome too in their own way,,,if hip hop is music for you then your an idiot,,im tired of people acting like they know everything about music ,,,let people listen to what they want too,,,if people dont listen to classical music,,what ,,,it means that all people are idiots,,,no its just that classical music doesnt have enough energy

  • this was made in 2006 nobody listens to rock anymore as well its like nobody cares about real music anymore now its gay pop music like justin bieber and lady gaga

  • People who listen to certain types music just because their friends do, are fucking brain dead sheep. Like that other pathetic mind virus of warring the baseball cap the wrong way round. Stupid twats.

  • lol

    so true

    so true

  • night on bald mountain. google it. you will never again say classical music is boring or slow.

    google firebird

    or don juan

    or stravinsky rite of spring

    or ravel

    or SO MANY THINGS!

  • Not on the go type of music? Oh there are plenty of on the go classical songs.

  • Todady styles will be dead after some decades, but classical music(classical guitar and flamenco included, among others)is the music that will live forever, like Bach or Francisco Tarrega for example...pop, metal, rock, blues and the like will die, it is just a true fact. Just think a little about it.

  • Classical music clearly dominates the instruments, it is modern music that was ''created'' for the minds of people who cannot focus on pieces(songs in your case) that are more than 2 minutes and does not consist of head banging or easy to follow tunes. However the people who prefer classical music clearly do not insult modern music as we understand the progression of music in the era of time so I advice that you do the same.

  • why people compare classical music with jazz?this makes some people crazy,jazz is not in the same category.Jazz and classic music have a total diferrent value,jazz is not concerned as a great music,is great only for americans,yeah like someone likes rock or disco,Jazz is not at the same level people!!!!!!!!!!!!!I didnt say i dont like jazz but jazz is not concerned that great,that's all!

  • Were you around in the 1700's? No....? Than get this shit off Youtube.

    YOU HAVE NO CLASS. THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T LIKE CLASSICAL, BUD!

  • Bach is one of my favorite composers. Not only is his music highly mathematically based, but also

    1. He put in banned musical nodes by the catholic church within his music just to mess with them.

    2. He would spell out bad words within his music by the musical notes just to mess with the catholic church.

    I dont know about you, but I find that hilarious.

  • Classical music is the most complex music imo, along with Jazz. Thats why they're not very popular.

  • classical music sucks? fuck no your justin shitter and jonass faggots suckkkkkkkkkkk

  • Classicial music is the foundation of most music today, if you think classical music sucks, there would not be MUSIC today.

  • As Fluffypopcicle said, classical music doesn't suck, but kids are being brainwashed by people like Hannah Montana, Jonas brothers etc. I'm 14, and I LOVE classical music, and it's a real shame that there aren't more kids who like it as much as I do. I think part of the reason I like classical more than rock is because I don't watch tv. Just because most kids don't like classical music doesn't mean it sucks. The majority isn't always correct. I mean, we voted George Bush into office, didn't we?

  • @tenniscrazy2 Yeah, I'm 14 and I love metal music. I also love classical. I hate stuff like pop and rap because their pointless and most of their fans just like them because ther sheep.

  • Anyone who listens to and is/was influenced by classical music sucks. Classical training is a waste of time for those that want to play other styles of music that have nothing to do with classical. Furthermore, these musicians end up in some sort of trouble and kill themselves. I was always told that if you liked this shit, you had no friends and you would be laughed at. Classical is boring and too dark moodwise to enjoy. I strongly dislike and any weirdass, lifeless composers.

  • @GabriellaMontezSucks  go lick biebers vagina idiot

  • classical music sucks na ni mbaya zaidi ya muziki milele aliumba kwa ajili ya mashoga

  • Classical is only real music! todays people are retarded and brainwashed by lady gaga and other gay shits, idiots

  • @BassicStorm Classical music is in a number of today's artists. So, the truth is, both classical sucks, as well as any artists that decide to have a tolerance for this painfully dark, depressing, and angry shit. Again, if I saw anyone that liked classical music and tried to ruin a band by trying to sound like Bach: I wouldn't be friends with him/her and I would embarass them.

  • Classical Music is the most beautiful and intricate music in the world.It can never e appreciated by this media controlled world,where all you have to do to be famous is post a video on YouTube.Almost all music has been derived by classical music. Kids have no knowledge about music that takes talent to play.

  • Dumb fucking kids.

  • jazz sucks

  • classical music sucks and is the worst music in the world next to it's son techno! reggae and it's son rap music is much better!

  • @Pedrospregnantagain Thank you for realizing the truth. It's either a boring strings and piano ballad or some angry, loud diatribe. Classic is also the reason why I hate classic rock and many of today's artists. Techno is awful because it is all done with electronics and incoherent beats. Reggae (I am white) is indeed better because it is happier, lighter, and encourages love, friendship, happiness, and peace. Classical only encourages its listeners to be dark, liberal, stupid, and weird.

  • Classical makes me want to kill myslef, really, it sucks that bad.... dubstep and DnB is way better.

  • @UsEcOnDu ELL!! HOW DARE YOU :P

    It's awesome

    xD

  • @MeNuWamv lol it's kk, and I admit play classical on ym guitar all the time, but when I listen to it I feel like I've just taken some sort of drug or something =P

  • @UsEcOnDu xD

    they make you high?

  • @MeNuWamv haha yeeee

  • @UsEcOnDu You best be trollin'.

  • @UsEcOnDu Good, another person that is smart to realize that you should be so open to other things. Thank you for agreeing with me. I so fucking feel like killing myself whenever I hear it too. I sure fucking would like to know why classical music and its three B's are so overhyped. Bach is the worst. Don't get me started on his suicidal chamber music. If I want friends of a girlfriend, they better not like this shit.

  • Its your Choice

    INDEPENDENT : CLASSICAL

    FOLLOWER  : ALL OTHER SHIT TODAY !

  • well fucking, if i got talent, in piano , its fucking easier to become a pianist, and earn lots of money, than fucking join a band and mess ur life....fuck the media, if u get too much attention, u cant even go out for dinner, cos pappz will be followin u everywhere.

    fuckin do u get d point?

  • well the oboe in the background was just to BEAUTIFUL to hate, huh

    >:(

  • Well, switch classical music orchestras with electric guitars. you get METAL.

    Y Malmsteen is a perfect example

    R.I.P the Bach family

  • did u know that without i think brhams or bach it rock wouldnt hav been made

  • I love all types of pre-2000 heavy metal, and you'd be surprised at how classical-inspired the stuff is, especially progressive and death metal. Very melodic, epic sounding, mind-blowing if you pay attention. Bands like (later)Death, Fates Warning, Nocturnus, Cynic, etc.

  • @vitaminsandstds That's why I hate it. That's a great way to get laughed at and embarassed in public. I don't want to know you at all. Have fun listening to suicidal bullshit. Classic, metal, Classic(al) rock all suck balls.

  • @GabriellaMontezSucks Dude, look at your name. I can tell you're really original and totally not a bitter asshole who only looks for reasons to hate everything. If you were a cop, I would kick your ass and run you over with your own car. I'm just fine not knowing you at all btw. Have fun listening to one dimensional bullshit. Laterzzz :-{D

  • hip hop is created by black chimps who have finished evolution. no melody, just beats, like cavemen.

  • Theese kids are shallow minded uneducated nieve trash!

  • @MHIColts Go figure, plus they are upper class white people with no respect for those that are different from them. Those are the only kinds of people that like classical music. You always hear about them on the news killing themselves because their lives were too fucked up. Don't tell me classical music makes you feel ____________. Whoever doesn't feel like killing themselves and hearing how angry the music sounds is very fucked up.

  • If you were to show these kids the Hip Hop artist NaS they would not enjoy him because he talks about life and doesn't use over bassed beats and doesn't rap loud and he doesn't scream.

    Music for the mind=underground music. Classical music is amazing by the way.

  • @BluUniverse It's too dark, depressing, angry, weak, and sick to listen to and enjoy. It's also a great way to get embarassed, beat up, and die. Are you familiar with the composer's lives? Why don't you read about them, Einstein. How the fuck can you sit through that fucking bullshit? Listen to something happy that makes you smile.

  • I enjoy Hip Hop, and Rock. The people that say Classical music is boring are the same people that listen to mainstream Rap or Rock or anything on Kiss fm. If I were to show these kids that claim they enjoy Rap my Hip Hop they would not enjoy it. They would not enjoy the Hip Hop I listen to mostly because it feeds the mind. The beats and sounds in the Hip Hop I listen to is discarded by these kids because it doesn't make them wobble their heads.

  • i think it's really shitty that "classical music" is this heaping genre of anything symphonic or orchestral. "Classical" music is the most diverse style of music. It's made up of the most intricate emotions, themes, rhythmic and melodic patterns. Not to mention that "classical" music has had numerous waves of styles and memes. I think that "noise" and "classical" music are in themselves unique and all together different mediums of sound art.

  • That all being said I still think most classical music is pure shit and very little is pure ecstasy. An aural filler for sipping tea. But i guess that is the same for all genres of music.

  • I agree. Thank God and I am not alone. This explains why many keyboard players suck. They all thank classical music for their musical style. Then impose it on everyone else.  Classical music cannot and will not be applied in the form of fusion to other genres of music. If it is, the person who fused it, will kill himself. Just read some biographies.

  • @HoboSex It is shit. Don't let the defenders confuse you. Nothing like wearing black, being too open-minded, and listening to music that is so fucking angry and depressing. No wonder this world so confused and fucked up. There are many haters (away from the Internet) that hate classical music.

  • This is blasphemy!. Blasphemy I say!

  • i dont like classical music. i like rock and blues. not the shit rock made today im talking about real rock like led zeppelin and the jimi hendrix experience. lol but the reason i dont like classical music is cus its boring to play. its fun to write but boring to play. in blues you get a chance to improvise add fills and change things up but classical music has to be played the same every time or its wrong and you gotta start over.but if you mess up on blues it only makes the performance unique

  • I usually listen to electro and sometimes rap music, but I still prefer classical music.

  • CLASSICAL MUSIC RULES U PPL DONT KNOW ART and yeah giv it a chance that black girl is a deouch bag i am a hard core classical lover i took a test and i came out i on mastro wich is teacher gosh classical though no words and no words to describe it it is bliss and anger like requiems

  • @Agomongo1235 I gave it chance and I still don't like it. I still don't get it. Go out into the world and tell everyone you love it. You will get beaten up or at least get strange looks and shit. I don't buy any of the things defenders say. Other forms of music were original and were invented on their own.

  • @GabriellaMontezSucks me get beat up? maybe if ppl heard classical music they would be mor civilised and im not afraid to say i like classical music nor should anoy1 be afraid to admit anything. and invented on there own? really cause without piano we wouldnt have certain insrtuments. and if u dont like it i guess u didnt try other good classical music bet u heard 5 classical musics and said i dont liek it not even 5 actually 2

  • @Agomongo1235 Yes, because you are listening to music that is dark and unpleasant or boring, hard to understand, and is not cared for. No, you wouldn't be "better than everyone else and more civilized" if we listened to that shit. People should be afraid to say certain things. You do not understand reality. The world does not work the way you say it does. I gave this a chance, I didn't like it, and I don't like anyone that likes it. If I don't naturally like something, why force myself?

  • @GabriellaMontezSucks How is classical music unpleasant? did u hear the intro of the song? Also, you're saying rock, metal, and more makes you more civilized and smarter? Some do but 90% of them make u dumb@sses. In addition, afraid of saying certain things? that most dumb@ssed thought I have ever read its like your a communist "Hey u dont speak back at me be afraid of me so do what i say to do okay?" thats what your saying. This is why more deaths are happening in the world people are scared to

  • @GabriellaMontezSucks speak out loud.

  • @GabriellaMontezSucks I am not forcing you I am asking to try.

  • Comment removed

  • i'm a HUGE fan of metal, especially Death Metal. but yea, classical music is an amazing genre of music.

  • What's with that? How can someone like both genres? That's stupid. I tried that and it didn't work out.

  • @DearbornPlaza LOL 

  • Best genre ever = music for the mind & Soul!!! Beethoven!!!

  • Sure is. I can tell you like brainwash. Beethoven was an angry, unpleasant man. Every composer sucked, both as a musician and as a person. I hate Beethoven the most! Especially his fifth symphony.

  • It's cerebral music. Tends to take hold later in life; synonomous with maturity.

  • Classical is my personal favorite.  It is one of the first major and complex musical genres.

  • jazz and classical at the bottom of the list? Two of the most complex and intellectual and beautiful genres of music ever? are people retarded?

  • Sadly its the fact in todays modern world.

  • @badazzpresidents23 do you like classical music?

  • @badazzpresidents23 I know, I wonder that every day, I mean what the heck are people thinking when they dont like Jazz or Classical.

  • @badazzpresidents23 the most complex music is disco lol jks classical music is gd but not when rich fools ruin it mozart wrote his piece when he was poor

  • @badazzpresidents23 the problem w/ classical music is it didn't evolved since Jazz and Elvis came along. At least, Jazz is still popular around the world today.

  • @SOULdierX93 Maybe not at as well-known of a level, but I would say some of the best composers ever came out the mid-20th century. But honestly, i have no fucking clue of recenet activity in the classical music world. And by recent, I mean like 40 years. Unless you count Frank Zappa and The Residents.

  • @badazzpresidents23 yeah people who listen to it

  • people have no taste...

  • i personally like hip hop and pop (NO NOT 50 CENT CRAP OR CHRIS BROWN) and nu metal, but classical music IS the best music in the world. Every classical artist has incredible amount of talent, and they all beat every pop/rock artists out there (except michael jackson).

    blues and jazz comes in second cuz i love how they express their feelings, its so cool

  • @benmoonrocks michael jackson comparing with great music composers in the past? hahahah that's the biggest joke I ever heard of lol. michael jackson is not even worth mentioned.

  • you suck.

  • classical music doesnt suck, and the reason why its not that popular is because people are brainwashed by disney fags like hannah montanna, and the jonas brohers, or some ridiculous over the top death metal like cannibal corpse. dont get me wrong i love metal but most death metal blows. if you like classical you should chech out yuki kajiura. she is an incredible classical artist from japan. she ranges from beautiful melodies, like fake wings, to epic balads, like song of storm and fire.

  • Funny and true.

    ...I like it =)

  • @Fluffypopcicle HOLY SHIT. I just listened to Mezame by her..chills...instantly. Thanks for leading me to her.

  • @Fluffypopcicle and Grandpa's Violin.

  • @xXMercifulFallXx

    you're welcome :) a lot of her stuff is actually new age, but at the same time every thing she does is classical influenced. and yeah, grandpas violin is also great. yuki is the one that convinced me to pick up a violin. i just got one for my birthday and i can't play it for crap lol but i'll get better.

  • @Fluffypopcicle Nice. I want to pick up a few instruments. Just don't have much time.

  • @Fluffypopcicle hehe propaganda

  • @Fluffypopcicle classical music may be my least fav genre ON RECORD... but watching live is something godly, I tell ya. The problem w/ classical music is that it fails to evolve through the mainstream audience, but of all the modern genres out there, they are all connected to classical music. So, we could say that it's still alive, just think about it :)

  • @SOULdierX93

    yeah, classical music s still verymuch alive, but not all of modern music is influenced by it. can you honestly say you hear influence of classical in lil wayne's music?

  • @Fluffypopcicle Sorry, even though I have respect for the brilliant composers of classical music, I still am NOT a fan.

    btw, Weezy iz king!

  • Best genre ever = Blues

    Classical music is a very broad genre. Of some says all classical music is the same, it's almost like saying Blues, Emo Rock, and Metal is the same.

    I don't know if Ynwie Malmsteen's Neo-Classical counts as classical, but it sounds nice.

  • Hey I love that song which is being played on piano. Haha Muse actually used it in one of their songs, although they changed the name of it, which I think was stupid.

  • Rappers = millionaire failures. That's how society works. Classical has already lasted for centuries, longer than any modern piece of crap will.

  • Cool video but you should diversify your survey group more by age, race, class (as much as you could) and occupation. Asking more people with an education may help too instead of only younger people who are currently getting a college or high school education, and have likely never been exposed to the classics in any way but the cliched satires that appear on commercials and media (for example).

  • Classical Music is beyond words.

  • Yeah funny. Classical wasn't really specifically about drugs, women, liquor or any other subject. Basically because music in the old times was made for the church, to serve religious purposes. So you could say classical's music was always relgious.

  • don't forget nature!

  • I love nature, also an religeuos experience :D

  • What?Only for church?Read some classical music book 1st pls.

  • Yes, in middle ages. Gegorian musics. 99% of classical subject is about religion. Why do I need to read classical books? Ieady studied music history :)

  • I recognize Gegorian music is for region uses.Also Bach's music and many other baroque music. But they are not the most part of classical music. How about Debussy,Rachmaninov?Even in the Middle Ages there are many music made for the royal court but not for church.

  • classical music "sucks" because people have no patience. they listen to the first 2 seconds and say it sucks when the really awesome parts are 2 minutes in or at the very end. classical music was meant to be music. rap, rock and other crap are made by retards who are just in it for the fame and money

  • 120% agree. Just look whether there are any pop music could be famous for hundreds years.Classical music could.

  • classical music doesn't suck AT ALL, this video does

  • You obviously didn't watch the video, since it wasn't even saying the classical music sucks- it was asking why most teenagers don't listen to it.

  • Classical music is dated, both in sonorities and the ceremonius ethics. I enjoy 'classical' and contemporary music but even the most avant garde pieces are distinctly conservative. The roots of everything are not in western classical music as someone stated (just western 12tet music really). Additionally I concur that it might 'take brains' but we can do much better! Modern electroacoustic/acousmatic is where it's at! PS I didn't watch the video, just read the comments.

  • How can you say classical is outdated? Rock, metal, dance (trance), hip-hop beats and most other genres still sample classical pieces and use classical instruments/orchestration in their music. It will never die, without it music would sound half as exciting.

  • "Classical music is beautiful works of art, while rock is about drugs, and how much they hate life, raps about sex,violence, and treating women like crap, country music is about god, and living on a farm, while classical music reaches deep down into the middle of my soul. Classical music is music, the rest are not."

  • I agree.

  • funny,i just got done making fun of some people who like classical.

  • all those stupid fucks have to open their minds and come out of their boxes....

  • we did AND IT STILL SUCKS you cant seriously call that snobbish stuck up shit with no meaning music lmao.

  • well classic mausic definitely don't suck but who ever put the title of this video defenitely suck his or her's mom's ball!

  • @davidliao623 yes, because mothers have one testicle

  • Also classical has simple melodical tunes and the more lenghty pieces that are harder to get in to. I think one of the bigger reasons people dislike classical also is because of lack of vocals. People like something to sing along too (lyrics that they can identify with). Instrumental is just for dancing or bopping your head too.

  • Hey guys, I like lots of classicail music, and contempary music.

    Just looking at the bare sheet music, you can see that much modern music, (not talking about the jonas brothers here, I'm talking about the GOOD music) (jo-bro fans, feel free to thumbs down) is almost as complex as classicail music. The only area where much classicail music really inevitabley more complex than modern music is in length.

  • In a few words, Fuck YOu !

  • Taking classical piano lessons as a kid is not the accumulation of classical music, it is merely a fundamental structure. There is more to it than that.

    This "study" is absurd. Today's pop music is popular because it is a marketing scam and is easy to lure vulnerable, unenlightened people. There is no individuality, no creativity, no soul, just scam after scam after scam.

  • Hmm Does Classic Rock count as a scam?

  • Part 1-

    You know I have a theory why classical isn't considered to be popular, how it kinda ties in with why these hugh record companies pay major radio stations lots of money to play these new promos/latest release songs...

  • Part 2-

    One of the main reasons we like music is "Familiarity", so we hear these new promos over the air, and so we get familiar with the song,

    I did an experiment on myself, I listened to a few selected pieces of classical music, listened to them about once every few hours a day, then I started really liking those songs.....

    I also noticed that I perfered songs that used to be on my old keyboard as built-in songs, songs I was already familiar with.

  • Part 3-

    You can try this experiment with yourself,

    try listening to something like Caprice Basque by Sarasate, a couple of times a day, you'll start to like it afterwards.

    For example, most people don't mind listening to Beethoven's "Ode to Joy", chances are you know the first 8 measures, and can hum the tune.

    the last movement of "William Tell Overture" is another famous one. Canon, Lullaby, Vavaldi's "Spring" from Four Seasons...etc

  • Part 4-

    Even my buddy started liking a few pieces of classical music, because I was playing classical music while I was driving around with him...

    The general public isn't exposed to enough classical music to get familar with the songs. So they don't really aquire a taste for classical music, so I suppose all music is an "aqquired taste".

  • why do you "have to like the speed"? that's a stupid thing to say....and classical music is NOT boring. you just have to get it to appreciate it, which most people don't.

  • your loss...some people are just not smart enough to understand the complex, REAL music. i pity you.

  • I'm a metal/blues guitarist though i have learnt quite a bit about classical. though i like alot of it, i understand why so many people don't like it. some view it as 'old peoples music' and see it as a sign of opression. when i was 5-6, i started piano and got an earful of this stuff but i was pressured so much i started disliking most of it. now i've put it behind though. also, classical is such a strict genre and some prefer blues, jazz or metal (like myself). btw WHY DOES BLUES ONLY HAVE 1%?

  • When u speed up classical you basically get metal :)

  • ill admit its not entirely wrong but metal also has influence from jazz, blues,etc...you do have a point though with some metal.

  • Classical music fucking rocks!

    People would rather listen to shit music like Miley Cyrus or Jonas Brothers and that's why they think classical music sucks.

  • I rather listen to a mixture of styles. Crossover (rap & rock), hip-hop beats with violins and strings, Symphonic metal or just trance music. They all combine classical with modern musics. So why not combine the stuff? No doubt classical is the father of all music and still the supreme music but it takes time to discover and most teens are too hyper for that. You can't really rock out or party with classical. You have to be in a calm mood.

  • I'd strongly disagree with you on the part where you say that classicals are the father of all music. But I do agree that all these genres and styles can be mixed and combined to make new and more uniques styles of music.

  • But who is the father of all music then? What music was before classical?

  • Do you mind if I can try and explain it in your messages section? My answer is a bit long.

  • No, ofcourse not. Go ahead :)

  • well, there is always mid-evil music, and greek/roman music. Heck, those greeks came up with that 7 series of notes that we all know and love that is the major scale. And the major scale can be found in every genre from jazz to rock.

    I'd say atleast 70% of western music is written in one of the modes of the major scale. And most of whats left are harmonic, and melodic minor stuff, and their modes, which are based off the major scale.

    thanks greeks. =)

  • True true. You can go back as far as the Greeks and gregorian church singers. for the first music. But classical was one of the first worldwide accepted ,and mostly, one of the most influential music styles there was.

  • man FUCK THE GREEKS they aint did shit. YOU WHITES WHERE JAMMING THIS CLASSICAL SHIT. JAZZ AND ROCK HAS ITS ROOTS IN BLUES MUSIC. the steady REPEATED PACE muthafucka THAT COMES FROM THE MOTHER LAND!! kiss my black ass.. THANKS ANCESTORS =D

  • Jazz and rock wouldn't be possible without the major scale and it's modes. which were, yes, invented by the greeks. =D

    Sorry dude, those Greeks were jamming to their Mixolydain mode (oh yeah, bring on the funk) before the english language even existed.

  • LMAO WHAT IS THE FOUNDATION OF JAZZ AND ROCK!! the RHYTHMACTIC BEAT!!! lol i can't believe you dont know that shit!! THE RYTHMATIC BEAT HAS BEEN AROUND BEFORE THE GREEKS. you see the difference between that kind of music and your kind of music is you people see it as ENTERTAINMENT my ancestors didn't it was more of like a MEDICINE or a REMEDY lmao IMAGINE THAT THE GREEKS CREATED RHYTHMICAL CHANTS LMAO!!! sorry buddy i do believe african music dates back before the greeks =D

  • True, PYTHAGORAS invented the sytem of Harmony. Musical instruments alread existed in Egyptian times! But eh Greeks layed the foundation for the modern musical note sytem wich was later further developed in the middle ages! Without them no modern music, jazz, blues or classical! Do the knowledge son!

  • Thats what I've been trying to tell that one guy.

  • @PrinceDimeXI Jazz and Rock are regressed music from classical music. all culture including music is suppose to be developing and should be more advanced thatn past one, but only music regressed. America is the one who regress the western music by populizing cheap instant music like rock and hip hop with big economy. I hope american would had kept their music and culture only to their country.

  • Classical's great. :) In my little list, I put it just behind Rock at no. 1, and Blues at no. 2.

  • Classical Music RULEZ

  • moc miluju hudbu....samozrejme ze klasickou ponevac popularni ,,hudba'' se hudbou vubec neda nazyvat....obycejna komerce

  • I enjoy classical music, so no worries :) I know how to appriciate good things in life!!

  • Seriously what was the point of making this video when you think about most of music today is derived from classical music and artists of today themselves claim to listening to classical music to get their inspiration. So there!!!!!!

  • honestly, i see no point for the making of this video. COMPLETELY POINTLESS.

    to tell you the truth, I see much more "uniqueness" and "creativity" in chopin, beethoven, mozart, etc... than i do in lil' wayne.

    how many people can say the wrote 'Moonlight sonata' or 'Chopin's noctourne in c# minor.'

    NOT JUST ANYONE.

    but anyone can step up to a mic and talk about hos and money.

    COMMENT IF YOU WILL...

  • I agree with you to a certain point. I just don't think you can divide music into degrees of difficulty. A multi-layered beat from Pete Rock or Dr.Dre can take as much talent as a classical piece. It's about the creativity and talent u posess and not about the difficulty.

  • ahahah that isn't true at all
