Why didn't "southwestern gothic" take off as a music genre?

Why are you STILL not listening to classical music?

Classical music is so evidently superior to all other kinds of music, yet we keep lowering the standards when we talk about other types of music, to avoid the uncomfortable situation where the butt rock dude or the druggy EDM boy gets anal pained when they are told the great masters are better than their shitty hedonistic hero.

Instead of white guilt, in the music world there is "classical" guilt. We keep lowering the standards for other kinds of music to compensate and preserve our dream of marxist culturalism. Of perfect musical relativism. Guess what? It isn't true and the compositional talent and imagination displayed, which is all that counts in the end when we have to say what is worth being saved and what not, is infinitely superior in classical music than in any other form of music.

If your shitty pop muzak is an 8 what the fuck are Beethoven's late string quartets? a 400? most music is barely a 1 to 3, the Beatles fall in here and so do most other popular music with very few exceptions that reach a 4, even a 5. Bartok string quartets would be a 6, 2 degrees of magnitude higher you have works by Brahms and other great masters. Then 9 and 10 are reserved for the highest achievements of human race like Beethoven's late string quartets or his Missa Solemnis or Mass in B minor by Bach or his Brandenburg Concertos.

>Jugulator is the 13th studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on SPV Records October 16, 1997. It was the band's first album of new studio material in seven years and the first without frontman Rob Halford, who had left the group in 1992, as new frontman "Ripper" Owens took over. The album's reception in the metal community was divisive; some thought the material would be good if Halford had sung it, others thought it was a dud in any case. Guitarist Glenn Tipton defended Jugulator by arguing that Priest hadn't released any new material in more than half a decade and had gotten a little out of it since. "You have to understand that our last was in 1990. We're a good two albums behind where we should be and the result is not as big of a change as some think it is." Tipton would later admit that the album was lacking in good melodies but the band was "not feeling very melodic at the time."

>Owens has felt unhappy that the band disavowed Jugulator and its follow-up Demolition after Halford's return to the group in 2004 and none of its songs have been performed live since, although Halford has expressed no personal objection to performing them.

>Jugulator attracted little attention in the Anglosphere but made the top ten on Germany and Japan's charts. Original copies of the album are hard to obtain as Germany-based SPV went bankrupt not long afterwards and no reissues or reprints were done.
