Is anyone kind enough to explain what makes classical music so great? Why it sounds so different from anything else and why it’s theoretically correct? Why it’s called serious or art music? I’m looking for some serious technical answers to help me understand. I would ask on /classical/ but they usually ignore or don’t have time for retards like me.
I think I want to get into the genre, but I find the definition and some of the semantics confusing.
metal is rap tier garbage. no matter the technical abilities, it appeals to the lowest common denominator.

no, here is a rigorously scientifically tested graph of the relationship between IQ and genre prefrence, this is known by every respectable scientist in the world and some aliens from outer space.
Also, just listen to a symphony, the amount of different instruments, the amount of counterpoint, the harmonies... it's pretty obvious why it is far more impressive than any pop music.

Pop music is before all a commercial product. The threshold of competence for being able to produce pop music is also lower. Therefore it can be presumed that the pop music artist is likely to be less qualified than a composer of classical music and that artistic quality is only a secondary concern during the process of creation.
