"Classical"

Is anyone else as autistic as me when it comes to this """genre"""? I tag everything in my library as either symphony, concerto, motet, sonata, choral etc as what they really are instead of just lmao classical bro. It's so stupid, there is more difference between say motet and symphony than metal and rock. Whole """"classical"""" meme needs to die off and people who coined it erased from history and their entire lineage with it burnt in pits. Such a crime against humanity.

classical is a bygone time, so it bugs me whenever an new album/soundtrack w/orchestra is labelled "classical"

That too. Makes no sense that composer who did his piece yesterday is suddenly classical. It's sonata, motet, symphony, choral, oratorio, piece, opera or any of the myriad setups. Who the fuck came up with this "classical" nonsense?

No one cares you fuckin dweeb

I tag by time periods in increments of 100 years up to 1600 and in increments of 50 after that, e.g. early 17th century.

Genres like motet, sonata, etc., titles, catalogue numbers, keys go into the track title. No need to redouble them.

...

Classical doesn't necessarily mean classical era. But you're right, the fact that any sort of music that has ONE violin in it is labelled as "classical" by normies is a crime.

The English, obviously.

but aside from the classical era, what does classical mean though?

Classical was used in 17th century London to distinguish the best works of the time from the rest. Later on you also have classical era that was a big influence (especially Beethoven) on composers of the 19th century, but in German speaking or German culture influenced lands they use the word "classicism" for that specific period to distinguish it from "classical". Your tags are fine though, fuck "classical" as a "genre", it's nonsensical and doesn't mean anything. I'd much rather call music by what it is, i.e. a renaissance motet, a expressionist piano sonata, a late romantic symphony etc. because all those have almost zero in common so it's retarded to lump them together into one """"genre"""" as you clearly put it.
