I know the feeling.
I'm a couple weeks into a BS music appreciation class and the groans I hear from my classmates when the professor plays legit classical stuff almost leads me to feel like I've somehow mistaken feeling, melody and emotion for some sort of reality when it is actually some crazy, alien concept.
I think my instructor is a douche, but I'd honestly take him over the stone-faced college kids neighing and nay-saying whenever something comes out of the speakers that doesn't isn't from the 21st century and prominently displayed in one or more major media outlets.
I think the biggest thing I'm going to learn from this class is that the majority of people are simply slaves to their immediate environment, and I think it should be remarked upon when there are those that manage to let their very basic human tendencies enjoy a very human thing like music, regardless of what the style-du-jour is.
