Not so long as colleges and universities continue to operate low-power FM radio stations.
Exactly correct. I played in the orchestra in college but I left after hearing our star violinist practice on her own. She was on scholarship from Mexico City and she was wonderful.
After hearing her own creations I could no longer stomach watching them cram her into a cage and force her to perform nothing but 500 year old compositions. It wasn’t music, it was cruelty.
Ahh Bach!
Yes
Just start you tubin' any one of those genre's (I like the doo wop) ...
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds and you're gone ....
Sad, but true.
I'm afraid that it will, and it will be due to...CLIMATE CHANGE.
Not only that, but the loss will hit women and children the hardest!
One of the interesting things is the fact that new avenues for enjoying music have opened up. Top 40 rock, country, “easy listening”, what-have-you, are drek and have almost always been drek. But you aren’t limited to the handful of stations on your AM/FM. Satellite radio has dozens more, each dedicated to a genre, your cable provider does the same, and a lot of the artists you hear there you will never hear on your AM/FM dial.
Then there is you-tube where a lot of music is archived.
And Pandora Radio, which beams an endless line of artists right into my ears many of whom I would never have heard of otherwise.
And based on those sources I can go and find still others, which I down-load to my Kindle and carry with me. I can go days listening to stuff you’ll never hear on the radio, stuff I really like, and never hear the same song twice.
So, yes, the general level of culture of the average yahoo is low and going lower. But I suspect that has always been true; the answer there isn’t more culture but a spiritual reawakening, rebirth, salvation. Only God can fix what ails us. But God can fix what ails us.

“The elected officials are rising up in their disgust and intend to throw out the ELECTORATE.
They mean to replace us.”
NAILED IT.
The rise of Islam means the death of classical music,
perhaps ALL western music.
Mostly classical and jazz on those. Same with public radio. Funny, isn’t it?
Well done, Radar!
Islam won’t conquer.
Perhaps all MUSIC
In the case of Classical Music the full frontal attack was an inside job:
Excellent book on modernism. The modernists wanted to start from Year Zero so yes “Western Civilization has to go”.
That means he stayed clean before his return to Iowa.
