I think classics are overrated and don't deserve as much credit as they get. Just look at the 100 greatest songs of all time lists. All of them are full of songs from the 60's-80's. Why can't just 1 modern metal song be on that list? There are tons of good metal songs that mean alot more.
old people write that list. and the jaded.

There's a pretty simple reason for this: you can't judge a song's longevity until it's been around for a while and longevity is one of main components of a classic song. Give it time and some of the songs you like right now will probably start making the classics lists.

Maybe more to you, but to most, that's probably not the case. "Classic music" is held in high regard by a lot of people because a lot of people connect with it, and are touched by it in some fashion. That goes for any piece of music, and it shouldn't change because they are older songs.

You also have to realize that "metalcore" doesn't exactly have as big of a following as other forms of music.

This is completely off-topic, but I thought "I'm just a man, who is learning how to fall" was brilliant. Cheers.

That, and from what I've heard, a lot of it is very 90s sounding or even 80s sounding. Not exactly what I would describe as fresh or new.

Why do so many people consider classical music to be so great?

Yeah, it is good music don't get me wrong, but i don't see how anyone can stand to listen to a whole sabbath album and say it is freakin EPIC. Yeah, everyone has different tastes, but for kids like myself who weren't around in that era of music, since the style has changed drastically, i just can't see why so many people like it so much.

Personally, i think most classical music is good, but i don't consider it great anymore. Maybe 15 years ago it would fly, but now days it just sounds so boring.

dude im probably younger than you and i hate new music, i love the older music IT IS EPIC

That's just as bad. Why not be open to all music whether it's new or old?
