You were born in the 1990s, and you have literally no time for classical music. But we want to know why...

Also, you can’t gram a concert hall.
The Royal Albert Hall wonders if you could repeat that?
It’s long and requires a long attention span, which is something silly millennials are not familiar with

*Ahem* we beg to differ.

There’s no place for emojis either
These instruments know they deserve more attention.
There's no one good-looking in classical
