Yeah, see the thread title and the OP are in opposition. Go look at the OP. I know what the word relevant means but the poll is supposed to be based off of the OP.

I didn't vote, but it seems obvious to me that it is still loved by many despite not winning any popularity contests against music videos with twerking and bad singing.
Go look at the first post and you will see what she meant. She was talking specifically about popularity comparable to say the top 40. Why isn't classical music popping in the top 40 playlists or charting on billboard? Is it only relevant as a means of teaching music students or just genre aficionados that already love classical music as referred to Mr. Clownland up there about going to a Classical Music Fest recently.
