My highschool did this with classical music to make us fuck off after school was over. Jokes on them in into that shit

Everyone likes at least some classical music, most people are far too cool to admit it though.

Growing up I absolutely did not like classical music. Turns out it was the recording (bad micing of the orchestra) and mastering (the old "super quiet, super quiet, super quiet, briefly louder, super quirt thing). For mastering you could claim you're being true to the original performance (lots of dynamic range), but when you're listening to a live performance that's all you're doing and there's no background noise.

Turns out I do like classical music, I just really didn't like the way it was recorded and mastered back when I would be exposed to it as a kid.
