So then genres ridicule each other for the same reasons cultures ridicule each other. Classical musicians deem rock to be too chaotic and simple, while rock musicians call classical music boring and elitist. Are these not the same words used by the people who listen to these genres to describe each other? When people call a genre of music inferior, they are calling an entire culture inferior whether they know it or not.
