In answer to the question, "Why isn't classical music popular?", you provided an answer "Because most people would rather not bother to think", thus setting up a dichotomy between thinking classical music lovers and non-thinking pop music lovers. If this was not your intention, I apologize for misinterpreting, but that is what came across. It puts forth an assumption that ONLY classical music (written by registered notarized composers and performed by orchestras, ensembles, and soloists licensed by the International Congress of REAL Musicians) offers sounds worthy of "serious" thought by "serious thinking" people.
