Hipster rules

Classical hipster music, Does it still exist?

    Sure, classical music has influenced everything besides rap which was influenced by a rabid raccoon in a sack getting beaten by a mace. But the question is, is there hipster classical music? What a hard question.  By hard I mean i'm going to write about a bunch of stuff, but as usual never answer the initial post objective. Conclusions are too mainstream.
       Greetings fellow citizens, and today we shall explore the genre of music most closely associated with math prodigies. Can it be hipster, or is it just high class?
    The funky thing about classical music is its older than the phonograph, so Beethoven doesn't have any solo albums, or compilations. And Bach never had any hits, or made a discography for himself. In fact, no classical music was recorded before Edison invented the technology, so we have no measure of what classical music was popular at the time. The only classical music we have is what we've found, and the only way they recorded it was on sheets of parchment. The only classical music that was underground then is underground now, and probably decomposed, literally. (get it decomposed?)
         But despite that, there are many more famous classical composers today, from back than, and likewise, less famous composers. If I played you Prelude and Fugue, you would probably recognize it. But for every classical song you have heard, there are probably 500 songs you haven't.
       But classical doesn't fit into the hipster genre, when it was created, it was excepted by everybody. Most educated people today still except it. I except it and respect it. But that's not the point of hipsters.
          But classical music is more complex and impressive than most of the music that is good today, so appreciate it, and if you write classical music, don't expect to be famous before you die, or even after that. The music is probably better off that day.
