Is classical music still relevant today?

"Shoved in" lulz. Like any other genre, it can be used for increasing the efficacy of the visuals and has become a cliche because it is so effective. Just admit that you're wrong DJ.

"Today's music" is infinitely more ambiguous of an entity than it ever has been, too. 90% of "today's music" has not had a fraction of the success and recognition as the classic composers or even more modern ones like Julia Wolfe and David Lang. So in comparison to today's music, classical is more popular than it ever has been, since we're juxtaposing it to the music of the world today.
