talking of elitism, can we have a translation ?

dearieme

Classical music is the truly popular music rather than that brain-dead shit that the young stupid and ignorant listen to. Approximately.

Roughly:

By definition, the music we call 'classical' is the most popular since it has transcended time, fashion, and society to reach us (our time). The music of Mozart and Beethoven was perhaps revolutionary, even elitist at the time, but how we can claim it's not popular?

Thanks, Anna. Sorry I never got round to doing it myself - took my eye off the ball...
