Opera will be around another thousand years and the music Bieber plays and sings won't. It will be gone in a decade AND forgotten.
Opera has been around so long for a reason. You don't know opera because no one taught you to appreciate it.
TRUE MUSICIANS appreciate ALL kinds of music. Saying you can't stand one kind shows that you have never bothered to appreciate music that's been around for hundreds of years. So, you really are NOT much of a musician.
Have you EVER thought why "CLASSICAL" music is called that? It's because it is SO good that people listen to it and play it STILL today...after HUNDREDS of years of being played and listened to.
Pop music ISN'T classical because it's never around beyond the latest fad and heart-throb.
But, that's okay. You choose your music, play it and enjoy it. That's what music is all about, isn't it?
Pffffffffft!
