Classical music will always be around, always with us and always relevant. That's why shows like "The Proms" are still so popular.

Just because it is the foundation of all music we listen to today doesn't make it relevant. That's just like saying Latin is relevant today which is it not. It's a dead language that people like to still learn but it has no practical use today.

It doesn't have to be pinned down to whether the person listens to it or not though. Classical music doesn't have a big presence where people that don't listen to that type of music still hear it. Only once in a blue moon compared to other genres.
