Although it’s very difficult to define music, it can be broken down to sounds that are pleasing to the ear. Many people are prejudiced towards their musical pleasure; by limiting themselves to only one form, of music.

“Classical Music” is generally associated with the adult middle and upper classes. Classical Fanatics reject all other type of music. If music is made up of sounds imitative of nature and of emotions, how can just one type of music fulfill this description?

On the other hand, rock enthusiasts, generally speaking, are equally as prejudiced. To them, all “Classical Music” sounds the same. (And to the classical fanatic, all rock sounds the same!) Both groups purposely refuse the attempt to accept each others music.

Musical bigotry is so obvious, it’s unnoticed. How can people expect to attain all physical and cerebral pleasure from just the one form of music?

The reasons for this bigotry is. musical taste stems from the connotations with hillbillies; and classical with wealthy snobs and an ugly gradeschool teacher forcing her pupils to listen to the Nutcracker Suite. People reject the music because of the connotations.
