Hello.
Welcome back to another episode TwoSet Violin.
And today we're going to be reading some tweets
that are very mean to classical music.
Prepare emotional shields
'cause this is gonna get very depressing
as we answer and defend the honor of classical music.
So, first one.
Lmao, what loser.
I don't even know what to say to that.
@jenoslayerr, you sure slayed us.
Both: Ooh.
Clicking on @jenoslayerr's account.
Seems like they like a lot of K-pop.
Well, did you know?
A lot of K-pop music features strings.
Yeah.
- Just putting that out there. - Some also have the same tunes from classical music.
From Wimptastic.
What...
- I'm so confused. - How... how's that related...
If you like intricacies, you're a virgin.
I'm assuming you're saying Kanye is better than...
Both: ...classical music.
And Kanye is like the evolution, over a hundred years.
According to this wimp.
I mean Wimptastic.
This whole virgin thing, I don't get it either.
Everyone's born listening to classical music.
And the day you lose your virginity,
you start listening to Kanye.
- Suddenly you just like can't see intricacies anymore. - Yeah, you like...
You open your eyes the next morning, you're like...
"I can't see detail."
Yeah, it's like, "Oh, is that... Red light, ye-"
- "Oh, no, it doesn't matter. Just drive through that road." - Yeah.
- I can see the movie villain association. - I was gonna say. A lot of, like...
Movie villains are just chilling, you know, with like a...
whiskey or something,
- and there's classical music playing in the background, - Yeah.
and just chilling out.
- There's some evil, sophisticated, powerful, enterprise owner. - Yeah, yeah.
- And then there's opera in the background. - Yeah, yeah.
- In his apartment, in a suit. - Yeah.
- It's just a movie stereotype, guys. - Brett: Yeah.
'Cause a lot of movies are not real.
Um, because Mozart has a melody.
'Cause Mozart has more than two chords.
'Cause Mozart's been here for like three hundred years now.
And in five years people won't listen to Carti.
- Oooh. Nah, just kidding. - Ooh!
Carti, if you're watching this- I'm assuming it's Playboi Carti.
Maybe in three hundred years, people will study...
- Yeah, yeah. - But for the time being,
- Mozart's music appears to be more timeless. - Yeah.
- Someone called Ted clearly hurt this person. - Brett: Ted.
Ooh!
Okay, okay, this is kind of funny though.
It's like, Ted,
if you can't play tune, you're not practicing the scales.
You probably shouldn't be dissing K-pop too much either.
- Yeah, exactly. - Yeah.
But can I just say, like, you might meet a Ted,
but there's also Ed.
And Bred.
- And a lot of other classical musicians who are not mean. - Yes.
- Welcome to the community. - Eddy: Yes.
- We don't judge. You can listen to K-pop. - Yeah.
A lot of K-pop does have classical music influences, so...
Why is everyone dissing Mozart?
Poor Mozart.
Oh, my god.
Wait, so he's saying Bach was fine?
- The 1700's, mid... - And anything after Mozart was fine,
but he just doesn't like Mozart?
Hey, look, you're entitled to your own opinion but I disagree.
Mozart has a lot of good stuff and he was a genius.
Are we really?
A lot of people are saying we're up ourselves.
It's not our fault we like more than one chord.
- You're just like proving them right. - Yeah.
I don't know, I feel like...
There are a lot of other music genres
that are even more up themselves than classical music.
Oh, yeah, like...
When I was in high school,
the music snobs were the indie rock kids.
They're the ones bullying everyone.
If you were to like do a poll,
"How many people have met a classical music snob,"
versus,
"How many classical musicians"
"got made fun of liking classical music."
- I think the second one would be more. - Oh, yeah.
So, Emily, you need more friends.
Well, you better be scared of us.
Actually we're pretty old though.
- Yeah, I'm pretty old now. Sorry. - Eddy: Yeah.
Can't help you there.
No.
Dude, where do you live? Like...
Russia?
Yeah.
Just because the modern music industry works a certain way,
doesn't mean that
that is how music has worked throughout history.
Like, there's nothing wrong, inherently,
with playing music that you didn't compose.
Most of the time it's not even their music.
- Yeah, it's not their music either. - It's not even about that.
- It's just under their brand. It's more just... - It's not about that.
In pop music, that's just how the industry works,
- Yeah. - And that's cool.
And in classical music, we have different standards.
For example, Justin Bieber has songwriters writing for him,
and song producers producing for him.
But he's not writing a symphony
for a hundred musicians to play that's an hour long.
That requires people to dedicate their whole lives
to mastering every single instrument.
So I don't really think that's a cover.
It's a different genre and you can't apply the same mentality to it.
- I can't get too real. - Alright.
Otherwise we're going to come across as snobby.
- Oh... Oh, yeah. - We can't be snobby.
It comes across as too snobby. No!
Alright, this guy just sounds like a troll.
You can't objectively be a bad classical composer.
Alright, you could objectively if like you don't understand, like,
the basics of theory, but...
Mozart did, so that's a subjective opinion.
So, you're wrong.
Well, have you seen TwoSet Apparel?
Yeah, go check it out.
I don't know if he's overrated though.
Again, you're allowed to have your own opinion.
It's fine to not think he's a top ten composer of all time.
I think the difference here is...
He said those familiar understand he's not good.
But it seems like people that dedicate their lives,
- like our professor at uni, - Yeah.
the more they dedicate their lives to studying
the intricacies of music
and what music can provide in composition,
- they always hold Bach and Beethoven at the highest regard. - Oh, yeah.
- So... - You're wrong.
You're wrong.
- You just made up a word. - Yeah.
- No, these are just... - Is she talking about like...
- The Italian terms. - Like dolce...
Classical music originated in Europe,
so it's not always English.
I don't think it's that complicated.
Maybe for some people, it's a little bit compli...
Just kidding.
- Brett: You know... - I'm becoming like the snob now.
Yeah, I know.
- That's what I mean, they're making you wanna just... - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're forcing me to be a snob.
Putting me in this position.
- Let's just all be friends, alright? - Yeah.
- That's pretty funny. - That's actually kind of funny.
Mozart K422...
- Mk III like Movement III, right? - Yeah.
That's funny.
Man, I'm so sick of these like snob comments.
Just because you were a snobby seven-year-old...
Is that even possible? Being snobby at seven?
When I was seven, I had like such low self-esteem.
I was like too scared to talk to anyone.
I don't even remember being seven.
I guess you have good memory.
- Oh. - Oh, that hurt.
- Okay. Yeah. - We're getting replaced.
Just take our jobs.
Hey, look, we're not the only ones being replaced
by AI automation.
We're either going to end up in a utopian society where
nobody has to work, or in a dystopian society where
Jeff Bezos owns all the machines and we're all slaves.
Who knows?
Do they?
Maybe if they're like...
Really into the music or something.
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like... - Eddy: Like Ray Chen eyebrows when he...
That's just a troll.
So hot I got burnt.
