Another frustrating topic that comes up in the bashing of classical music is that it was just written by boring white men wearing powdered wigs. I guess it might be easy to look at a photo of Bach and think that he could have just been a boring old man, but this is not the case. Musicians in the present time have a reputation for being emotionally "messed up" or having some sort of mental health problem. Unfortunately, people view the misfortunes of SOME musicians as "cool" or interesting. Apparently to write music in the modern world, there has to be an emotional problem inspiring the musician in the first place. So why haven't many people realized that classical composers, too were like the musicians of the modern day? There were love triangles, bar fights, and countless insults courtesy of classical musicians.
