Electronic music

Those classic music are called classics not only because of their music scores, but also because of the way they are played.

Of course, I do not deny that what is popular now may become a classic in the future, but this will need the test of time.

To take a step back, even if these music become classics, they cannot be called classical music:

Classical music is a concept that does not have an accurate definition.

Western classical music in a broad sense refers to music created in the mainstream European cultural context from the Western Middle Ages to the present. It is mainly distinguished by its complex and diverse creation techniques and the heavy connotation it can carry. In popular music and folk music. Geographically, this music was primarily composed in Europe and the Americas, as opposed to non-Western music. In addition, Western classical music is mainly recorded and disseminated through sheet music, which is different from the oral and heart-taught model of most folk music.

Some people also think that "classical" corresponds to "popular" because these music can withstand the test of time and can arouse the excitement of listeners in different eras, so they think it should be called "Classic" music.

But if you look closely at the word classical, its original meaning can be understood as music works that have been handed down from ancient times and can be called classics (ancient + classic). But generally speaking, classical music is music with a regular nature and balance. , clear characteristics, focusing on the beauty of form, are considered to have lasting value, rather than just being popular in a specific era. This is also reflected in the difference between "classical" and "classic".

Classical music originally refers specifically to the German and Austrian music represented by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven from 1750 to 1830, that is, the music of the so-called "Vienna Classical School" (or translated as "Viennese Classical Music"). This is classical music in the narrow sense.

Starting from this narrow concept of classical music, we can trace it back to Bach, Handel, and even earlier Catholic and Christian religious music, and extend backward to romanticism, national music school, and Modern music in the West in the 20th century. These are all classical music in a broad sense, that is, based on this tradition. Whether they are inheriting and carrying forward this tradition, or trying to break through this tradition with innovation, they can all be included in classical music. Although music that developed independently outside this tradition has borrowed from and influenced classical music creation, it is generally not included in classical music, such as jazz, rock music, and the music of some Eastern ethnic groups.

Classical music, as a name for a category in music, exists relative to categories such as light music and popular music. It does not have a strict and clear explanation or definition. In the scope of light music, the concept of "classical" is sometimes used to refer to certain light music works that have been tested by time and are regarded as models by people, such as classical operettas, classical jazz, etc. Classical here is understood as "ancient + classic", It seems more appropriate.
