Exactly - the amount of people with a closed mind around these parts is shocking.
I'm sure I'm right in saying (as I was at high school with a lot of them) that the chavs with 230 bpm blurting out over some Bryan Adams track on their mobile phone on broadway would view people who sit down to listen to Tchaikovsky after work to unwind as posh, upper class & rich.
Which also works the other way round - I know I am guilty of believing that those people blurting out that music in town are idiotic, narcissistic fools with not a brain cell to share between them.
Perhaps Accy is being dumbed down; but it is this war of opinion between groups that creates the lack of choice.
It is purely the popularity in numbers of the 'chavs'; who buy sports clothing, who buy manufactured music and drink cider & mudshakes which replaces your topman, your classical music and your fine red wine.
