haha, do people still say "classically trained"? I remember when that used to be code for "metal, but, no really, legit!"

Also using "aspie" in ref. to someone who has detailed knowledge of a very particular subject is offensive and mean.

i feel like i still see it all the time as code for "legit", when it usually means "this person took piano lessons as a kid".

Yeah, it's always used as though there's some single Classical Institute that is like the Oxford of music or something. It's a little like saying "You probably wouldn't want to get into a fight with X -- he studied martial arts."

"Classically trained" isn't meaningless if the person in question does actually play/sing Beethoven, Brahms, etc.
― DJP, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 22:10 (fifteen years ago)
(I agree it's meaningless in the context people usually use it, ie "this person took lessons from someone")

i take it to mean "this person plays the piano", or sometimes "this person plays the violin". and that they were forced to play etudes for a few months in fourth grade.

I like the word "corny." I think it was used by Lee Konitz to describe Lenny Tristano's behavior during the famous Jimmy Garrison metronome incident.

I almost thought you were kidding but Iguess there was such an incident. No mention of 'corny' though.

Ned, that might have been, um, in a private communication.

Sorry, to elaborate on that ----
in the sense that if someone is playing music even tangentially related to psych-pop, it automatically sounds like Brian Wilson. or acoustic guitar playing is assumed to be Fahey inspired. singer/songwriter = Drake, electronic = Kraftwerk, etc.
