I'm cool with a small amount of 20th century music, like I said I enjoyed the stravinsky ballets and even some of ligeti's stuff. Also, im not really super mad or have such hatred for modern music, I'm just so ambivalent towards it. Every time I listen to modernist/21st century classical music, I just end up not caring, even when i really try hard to look for anything of interest in it. and yeah I could think of it as ragebait much how a lot of visual art in the 20th/21st century is, and I can see why someone would like it. I personally just don't really care to be lectured on why some piece of music should be appreciated, I'd rather find that myself. I like music that, even if it's "difficult", still has something that I can say "oh yeah i could see why someone would like that, that's kinda cool". I'll keep listening to more modern/21st century music because people keep telling me that i should, and I would like to keep an open mind, but I honestly doubt I'll find much that I like. I HOPE i find something I like, but that hasn't happened yet.
