Music is music

Today, over the last year, my husband has gone from listening to normal people music to constantly listening to boring classical music thanks to his new coworkers. We went to a work party and he spent half the time debating dead white composer men. LISTEN TO REAL MUSIC, YOU WEIRDO! FML
I agree, your life sucks 55
You deserved it 600

Same thing different taste

He's gone from listening to today's shitty music to listening to classical music that has lasted for centuries. And you have a problem with "Dead WHITE composer MEN." Who's the weirdo?

Based on your description of your intended life partner, you won't have to put up with such terrible behavior for very long. Your contempt will force the split by you, or your toxicity will force the split by him. Have fun dating "normal people music" people, if they'll have you.

Everybody has their personal tastes in music, but let me ask you, what do you define as "normal people music"?

If you hate composer men that much, especially if they're white, you can listen to Maria Anna Mozart, Barbara Strozzi, Isabella Leonarda, Louise Farrenc, Fanny Mendelsohn, Cécile Chaminade, Roxanna Panufnik, and more. I haven't seen a POC woman composer of classical music yet, but there's a good one from Venezuela. You can also listen to Anthony Braxton or Noh Japanese opera if you primarily want a POC composer.

Ugh, I hope he divorces you, music gatekeeping weirdo.

You sound very close minded and shallow. I feel bad for your husband who has to put up with your boring "normal people music" self.
