Yes!

Despite the Pop Culture Quick Fix and the Televised Hypes that are around, there are music scenes that uses Classical as a base, sometimes based in the Metal and Gothic, but mainly in Soundtrack music (which has it's fans, too).

It's rare for me to meet those who seriously like Classical, but when I do, it's great, but there should be more. I have a feeling that the pendulum will swing once again as usual as I'm sure a couple of generations from now will see the Idol-Drenched Pop Scene of today as a joke.

It will never leave, but for now a listener has to look further in order to hear those who still create music influenced by Classical or that which continues a tradition in modern style.
