Classical music is music you have to get dressed up all fancy to go sit in a concert hall for, where you don't applaud after the solos, don't applaud everytime the music stops, don't get up and dance, where they don't serve beer while it's being played, isn't usually performed in sports facilities, and if you don't follow the unwritten rules the blue-haired folks around you will glare at you as if you were an ugly insect.
Oh yes, and where you have to turn off your cell phones and pagers or the entire audience as well as the conductor and other performers will all glare at you if it rings.
So basically 'Classical' music is music that happens when you're wearing uncomfortable clothes, can't figure out when to clap, have to hang around with people you'd never like, can't do anything fun, and can't even have a drink for consolation.
Sounds like I'd hate it.
Except for the cell phone part.
Now if we could just get rid of the glaring and go directly to fully automatic weapons....
