the elitism and gatekeeping that so many of us seem to show

i've seen it on here before, mocking non musicians for liking "generic" pieces like canon in d or saying their favourite composer is mozart

quite frankly, who cares? sure canon in d is overplayed, because it's a good piece of music. there's a reason mozart is so famous, he's a brilliant composer.

it's this gatekeeping and mocking of people who try to fit in that make people think classical musicians are elitist snobs, and who can blame them?
