    This happens a lot in music. It’s okay to listen to music that serves other purposes than art. Gatekeeping is ridiculous.

    I’m a musician. I play more instruments than you can even name correctly. I can make a tritonus substitution without you even noticing. I don’t give a shit if German Schlager Music is worse than country. If I want to watch Eurovision and enjoy myself and pay to vote for songs in foreign languages, I will do so.

    You cannot stop me from enjoying stupid music.

      Yup. There was a commercial I saw for like, Amazon or something that had the Canon in D mixed with some more modern vocals. While trying to find it (because I liked it) someone on Reddit was bitching about how Pachelbel never meant his work to be used that way or something and that if you like it you don’t know good music.

      Bitch, I sing with a symphony orchestra regularly and have done so for 15 years. I’ve played instruments my whole life. Don’t gatekeep music.
