I'm 15 and I dislike certain types. I like some that are soothing but I do admit I wouldnt go to a party and put some classical on. It's becasue we didn't grow up with that as our main genre of music.

Because not enough schools push or even have music programs anymore. And then there is always rap... Rap kinda kills the aesthetic aspect of art and music I think?

Partly it's just that people tend to like what they're accustomed to and dislike what's unfamiliar. But beyond that, classical music is just less "accessible" than pop music, most of the time. It places greater demands on the listener to be attentive for sustained periods of time -- it's not usually filled with catchy "hooks" that you can hum right away. So that creates a sort of barrier to entry: people have to be willing to invest the effort in listening before they can appreciate a piece. It pretty much guarantees that the audience will be limited.

Ignorance and lack of exposure. I liked classical music from the time I was very young. But I was exposed to all kinds of music and learned to appreciate all of them, appreciating each on its own merits without reference to the other. That's rare, in both homes and schools, today I think.

Because it's boring to them. Just like Shakespeare, Homer, and Rembrandt. Next

After being bombed with rap music, their brain has gone into the warp zone and nothing sinks in. This is just a sign of whats coming for Americas future.

I find it boring. I have to have words to music. Otherwise I fall asleep. Vocals make music everything. I don't like the instruments (classical = boring sounding to me)

classical music tells a story you just have to listen - the sorcer and the broom great example

Parents don't expose them to classical music often. Most kids know the words to country/pop/top 40 songs for this reason. It's strange though. Most cartoons are scored to classical music. And most kids , or parents for that matter, don't realize this. They are exposed, but don't know it. They don't know what they are listening to. I play classical when my kids nap. It's fantastic.

well i might not be a good example cuz i do like it but i think its cuz its not modern

It's because classical music, much like Shakespeare or any art, requires or is greatly supplemented by an indepth knowledge of its inner workings. Anyone can read Shakespeare's words, but the insight into what he is doing with the words and the poetry created as he does it is lost on the casual reader. The same holds true with classical music. Anyone with the attention span can listen and understand it's pretty, but the same piece would sound wildly different to someone who understood relationship between notes, harmonies, melodies, or tones and the instruments they are being played on. As such knowledge is underplayed and under-taught, appreciation comes harder and more rarely.

They haven't been exposed to it from a young age

Only a few radio stations play Classical so there is an accessibility factor. Also, young people think it is stodgy or irrelevant or they just prefer other music. I believe many popular musicians listen to Classical. A good example is The Beatles use of a Baroque Trumpet in one of their pieces after hearing one play in a Classical piece.
