Classical music is definitely tough

[Unlimited]

Because you can apply it to any scenario. With songs some guy is crying over the instrumental so he tells you the story you dont make it up

Classical is nice to listen to while studying.

That's the good thing about non lyrical pieces of music. It's how music should be anyway. Music without words/lyrics is at its purest and truest form. I subscribe to Johannes Brahms' idelogy of music being something pure and absolute. It doesn't need a visual play/drama or fragrance or lyrics/poetry attached to it to help the audience understand or enjoy it to the max.

Modern music is the total opposite, you have lyrics in it with bland music that is treated more like background music with a repetitive musical idea or a beat, which honestly gets annoying. The lyrics are the main focus now sadly. The music industry is more business oriented than writing music for the sake of writing good music.

Probably unrelated, but classical music is tough on one's ears at first because it has intricate patterns, harmonies the normal ear isn't used to, and the music may although be written in an overal "A-B-A" sonata form structure, it is more modified.

If you really want to understand the wizardry behind classical music and fully enjoy it without being pretentious. Learn an instrument and play classical music pieces by reading the score. This is the only way imo. Only after this one will realize how addictive this music is and how rare it is for a genius composer of music to walk this Earth.

People can't ever say I pretend to like classical music since I can play the piano and tell one what is going on with the music in detail on an objective level. They have no excuse left.

In other words, when you sit down in order to listen to music, you should only listen to music. Not music with images or lyrics accompanying it.

Your focus should only be on the music itself. Just on the notes. Not on anything else.

Everything else (like literary descriptions of how you feel about the music) is arbitrary.
However, this doesn't include the analysis of the sheet music of a piece fyi.
