I'm saying people change, views change, music changes. For something to live for forever it has to be truly timeless. There are few things like that.
Take movies for example. There were thousands of blockbusters, but I can think of only a few which have stood the years; Lawrence of Arabia and Ben Hur.
In music, there is Mozart and Beethoven. When you look at what makes Beethoven popular today, and even I listen to it, is its timeless value. It does not belong to a certain era, nor does it present a specific fashion.
I think the best way to guess if music will be popular in the future is considering whether it would have been enjoyed in the past. If you took the bans you've listed to Beethoven and his audience, would they be impressed?
The eternal Saint is calling, through the ages she has told. The ages have not listened; the will of faith has grown old…
For forever she will wander, for forever she withholds; the Demon King is on his way, you’d best not be learned untold…
