^ Non. Je ne suis pas un brony.
< I don't really like classical anything, tbh. Well... I do, but only if it stands out in some way. Otherwise there's no merit to it, other than being all perfectly formed. So what if it's perfectly formed? Yes, yes, yes, it's all breathtaking etc. but it's a piece of art, not engineering. It's supposed to be a bit on the rough side.
Take classical art, for example: I love Caravaggio for his use of light and dark, whilst Renaissance stuff bores me. Classical architecture too: Gaudi's amazing, whilst I never get drawn to stuff like St. Paul's or York Minster. I'm probably weird for thinking like this, but honestly... I enjoy innovation more than I enjoy boring, stale old perfection.
Or maybe there's some other reason. Whatever it may be; a lot of classical stuff doesn't actually emotionally resonate with me like it should. Some of it does, obviously. Maybe I just need to expose myself to it more.
