For those of you who dislike or who are uninterested in classical music, do you believe your opinion would change if you had a greater understanding in the principles behind the compositions?
As an experiment for you, I am giving you a link to Bach's Inventions and a basic explanation of each composition. Try listening to it before and after reading and see if it makes a difference.
Personally I think knowing some theory is helpful but not necessary. I think the psychology of music is such that we appreciate what we are capable of making sense of. Knowing how to organize it in your head is something that can happen intuitively and it can happen by understanding music theory. Either way, appreciation of classical requires one or the other to reach a level of understanding in which the music makes sense.

classical takes too much effort to listen to when I can just listen to something else

Except when u have a grasp on music theory and hear interesting counterpoint and harmony it's unlike any other music on earth

I don't get enjoyment from listening to most classical. It's just too slow and uninteresting, and often times feels unemotional.
Not to mention, being steeped so heavily in it's own themes, a lot of the songs feel very same-y even though I know that compositionally speaking they are all very intricate.
I can really only dig Phillip Glass type classical.

Glass is okay but he's so repetitive.

I mean I guess? A lot of musicians get that way though. A lot of classical feels that way to me.
It feels a bit too much like "look at how I did this advanced musical thing that only musical people understand" and it's like, yeah okay, but that makes you all sound the same because all your shit has the same kind of intricacy and shit.
