Just take the music as it is on its own merits.

But that's just me. Whenever people start arguing about these things, my eyes glaze over.

Nobody cared about Charles Ives in 1950, why even bother listening to him now?

And I like talking about music. I just don't get why people care about what is or was popular. But it's fine. Just not really the approach I have when thinking about music.

Kinda partially my point that that would be stupid logic. Or more like a natural side effect of my view on music that charles Ives' relevance is all about the quality of his music and not about any current or past critical notoriety (or otherwise) or popularity.

The composers that matter had Ives on the platter.

I agree that popularity is a stupid factor to consider. Context, however, can be very meaningful, because innovation can speak to quality and presentism can make that difficult to discern.

The Unanswered Question sat on the shelf for over 30 years before it was performed. Why bother?

It's good to know the rough outline of how genres developed and branched out, but I admittedly spend very little time looking into historical context. Just enough to connect the dots into a larger, zoomed out map of musical styles.
