Don't get me wrong. I do like classical music but I can see the irrelevance

Yeah we should probably agree to disagree we may just keep going back and forth on this one.
Bolded part is wrong. Check out the revenues of symphony orchestras nationwide (let alone worldwide).

If you mean that the majority of people don't actively listen to classical music then you're right, but you could say the same thing for any artist of any genre.
