I listen to a lot of music but I don't feel musically literate since I mostly listen to a lot of lesser known stuff.
For example I've never finished a Nirvana album all the way through.
This is kind of embarrassing to me as I like to say that I love music but I feel like I know nothing about the classics at all, yet at the same time a lot of music people revere as classic doesn't really interest me.
Is this a problem? Is it worth bearing through a lot of music I don't really enjoy to get a better understanding of where my favorite artists drew their inspiration from?

a lot of classics are classics for a reason m8, get over your autism because if you want to have any knowledge of music history or context then yr gonna have to listen to the most revered albums from certain eras and genres.

I feel like a lot of classics are considered classic because they were genre defining/highly inventive for their time, but have since then become more expanded upon and refined to the point that the original work just seems kind of...boring?
But yeah, I probably sound pretentious as hell right now. I've got a long road trip coming up so I'm going to blast through everything I missed on the ride their and back.

not tru. look at op listing nirvana, it would be known as the corny teenage band that it is if kurt didn't die.
