Damn, we have got to do better on the music front. All of this fasci 'music' is such steaming horseshit, it makea rap seem like Wagner. We had Bach, we had Mussorgsky, and THIS is what we come up with to represent our movement? It's copy-pasted trash from the punk era. It isn't even vaguely original. I'm a trained classical musician and it sickens me to see us reduced to this. No wonder people think we are so feckless.

"We"

Classical music is deader than Dillinger, but you knew that already.

Classical music is more 'music' than anything extant today. There is more substance there, but generic punk and metal with vaguely nationalist themes thrown in is hardly music at all. Music is mathematical before it is cultural.

Go ahead, name a classical work made in the last 100 years. Copeland doesn't count.
