What if we had stuff like rock, emo, metal, etc. in the classical era?

[DinoCrisisFan]

Like modern music (not rap or Justin Beiber) back in like the 17th century, do you think it would have been popular?

[Syvelocin]

Not at all.

well they didn't have electricity so i can't see how that would work really. So if you think ok they had string and wind instruments then every generation did something their parents thought was radical. They had their own rebels like everyone knows Mozart was kind of a rock star of his day.

People would have had seizures if they heard some of the stuff today.

>implying you need electricity to rap

If classical artists could make music without recording it, I have no doubt they could have chosen to rap if they wanted. However, it probably wouldn't have worked. Music at that time was more of something for high society. It had to sound somewhat royal and rap doesn't reflect that.

Royal rap, muta-fuka.

Yes.

Bach, possibly the greatest composer of all time, thought the piano would never catch on, because it was new and different.

Music developed because the great composers all pushed the boundaries and challenged people's perceptions.

No, not true at all. Music has always been for the masses even it, at times, it relied upon the patronage of wealthy patrons. Handel for example wrote for popular appeal and could be regarded as the Andrew Lloyd Webber of his age.

Nigga that ain't Dmitri Shostakovich.
