It's called 'art music' 'academic music' and 'legitimate music' for a reason: it is music with substance, not music to accompany substances. Classical music should be listened to in an engaged manner.
lol if you don't get turnt to Yung Bach and Lil' Chopin

Who are they to tell people how to enjoy music? I'm sorry, but nothing is better after a shitty day of work than smoking a bowl and listening to some angry Rachmaninoff.

“You see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn them. 'Cause you know what, the musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years were rrreal fucking high on drugs. The Beatles were so fucking high they let Ringo sing a few tunes.”

Weird that guy has a Sibelius flair. I'd've expected Xenakis or something.
Also, there's a reason they sell booze at intermission. :D

Not really? The most pretentious classical music lovers I've met either were all over Bach or 19th century romanticism. They pretty much discounted anything written in the 20th century.

I'm guessing they're a 20 year old music major.

Nah if I'm assuming right that guy is a notorious troll of /mu/ who is, among others, responsible for propagating the pleb/patrician meme for music fans. Entertaining person but has turned more and more bitter over the years, as you can see.
Edit: Ironically, the acronym CLT stands for "Cannabis-Loving Tripfag"

I am not CLT, as evinced by my name. He was kicking about here a few days ago but managed to get himself banned.

They are not nearly stoned enough. I was a music major for a few years and even some of the professors would show up to class high.

But hold on, Twilight is also a book and it features a love story like War and Peace.
He's besmirching Twilight! Get 'em, boys!

Wow, that guy was really angry about that. I did not know that there were approved ways to listen to each genre.
I guess I listened to black metal wrong, because I didn't burn any churches. I do at least squeeze invisible grapefruits, though.

Seriously though, unless you murder one of your band members, you're just a poser.

You're a fucking poser then, and you should leave the hall.
