Why do we hate modern classical music?

Modern music, classical? How does that work? I thought classics have withstode the test of time.

Walk into any music academy anywhere and ask students and teachers who are the greatest composers of all times. I’d bet that not one will mention a modern composer.

Today’s classical music brings images to my mind of those elephants or monkeys who paint pictures and the world of art calls the results meaningful and important. And some of these paintings actually hang in modern art museums.

Jeez, give me a break!!!!!
