I'm an 18-year old who has grown up loving all kinds of rock, the color black, and anything plaid. My parents raised me to be a "hardcore motherf*cker". But all my life I've had a secret love for all forms of classical music, and I've been taking ballet classes at our local gym since I was 16 saying I was just working out. I'm tough, no doubt, but I like the beauty and emotion that comes with classical pieces.

    Cool. When I was your age, I liked Rachmaninoff, Chopin, and Debussy, in addition to jazz, death metal, folk, punk, and prog rock. It's cool, really. One doesn't need to dress the part to like classical, as this person will demonstrate:

    I hardly know the names of most of it, but that's one of the things I miss most about going to my grandparents house. They always had classical music playing. Always.

    No it's not normal and you can be thankful for that. That puts you in a very small group of people who choose the music they like versus like the music that happens to be available during their lifetime, i.e., popular music. It frankly says a lot about you and your reluctance to be just another sheep in the herd listening to whatever one else is listening to for no good reason, examined reason anyway.

    It's humorous to me to listen to kids and adults wax poetic on how deep they are into music and then I'll ask them about other genres and other eras and it's just blank stares.

    Like most aspects in life, examining why you like something never occurs to most.

    I was reading something and it said that there was a connection between hard rock and classical music.

      I love heavy metal and classical. Both are dramatic and complex. I read the same thing and that's when I came across the neo-classical metal genre which is influenced by Beethoven and the like. It's very good! I also listen to metal covers of classical songs, and vice versa. Funny how I can go from headbanging to Mozart. :)

        Do you listen to symphonic metal? It's my favorite.

          I'm not sure what constitutes all these different genres sometimes to be honest. I may have done. Heavy metal is my favourite type of metal though :)

            It's fine. I don't always know the difference, either, lol. But I what I mean is do you like bands like Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation?

      There's a connection between all kinds of music. It's all the same stuff.

        I mean the people who enjoy it. Most people who like hard rock or metal tend to really like classical music as well, or so I read.

          I suppose people who like metal might like certain classical music.. heavier stuff, Wagner etc.
          Other classical stuff has more in common with other sorts of music.. Chopin's chord sequences always remind me of pop songs! Maybe the fans of metal professing a love for classical music is that they consider 'their' kind of music intellectually superior to pop music, so are attracted to classical stuff that way.
          Personally I think there are only two types of music.. good and bad, and both come in all genres.

            "I think there are only two types of music.. good and bad, and both come in all genres."

            Yeah. I can definitely agree with that.

    What's plaid got to do with it? Is that for tough guys or something? I don't get it.
    Anyway, not normal but everybody seems to like the tough guy with a sensitive side.
