Yes, there are many similarities in musical style between the classics and modern music. Years ago there was a program on TV that compared the Beatles music to the classics and almost all of their musical compositions had some basis in classical music.
One of my favorites is Franz Schubert. Great story. Do you know he never heard one of his symphonies played by a symphonic orchestra? That is what I call perseverance. His "Unfinished Symphony" is one of the best.
I am not a fan of Rap either. I guess the degrading comments about women bother me.
Sometimes I will see some young person in their car beeboping to the music on their headphones and I will think how they are going to get into an accident. Then I will have a bad day, turn on the local Oldies station, hear "Satisfaction" by the Stones, be slapping my hand on the steering wheel and jivvin in my seat and look over to see some other driver give me one of those looks that could kill. Guess ya gotta be there.
