"In case you haven't realized, we're living in a dumbass rock n roll* world. You may search my prior posts for my unflagging condemnation of it."
There's nothing wrong with rock-n-roll.... Nothing at all..... The world we're living in now is prefabricated, Auto-Tune-infested Hell.....
I kind of have fun seeing reactions from people when I bring up a piece of music that I know they have never heard of. (I'll walk up to someone, holding a pen like a baton, and say, "Beethoven's Eroica..... Ready?? ...." Last time I did this, the response was, "What's an Eroica?" ..... ) It's also kind of sad..... People ask me why classical music concerts are attended by mainly old people.... I answer, because the media culture has conditioned our younger people to either ignore it or hate it. For reasons that are beyond stupid.

Cleveland Orchestra audiences have become overall much younger recently, due to a discount program for students:

Also, under 18's coming with their families are free:

Other orchestra might do well to followm suit. This is a better approach than pandering to young adults by bringing in hip-hop stars, as they did in Seattle:

I like this "glass-half-full" attitude..... [;
