Classical music heritage involves classical music that makes some people to participate in it and by their strong will power those people at a later stage, they will get commanded for classical music heritage. Growing pop culture invites those people who are interested in them but at the same adopting western culture forgetting even their parents, their old culture, values and tradition. Classical music brings mesmerizing effect on talented peoples of every art whereas pop music increased 20% possibility to change peoples to forget their own tradition.

As per my opinion both the classical and pop music are important. It depends upon the choice of person. The likeliness changes in every person. So classical music is the base of the music and it is liked by our last generation. And opposite to that our running generation likes pop and all latest music. But still some old people listen the pop and some young guys listens classical.

So music has no barrier it is all over the place. Any one will like any type of music. So you like any format of music, lastly they are in category of only music.

Yes indeed pop & classical music have their own individual importance. Let it be India or any other country in the world. There exists an equilibrium between that country's classical music and new age/pop music.

Here, as the context is between Indian classical music and Indi Pop, classical music should be given a bit higher priority because the pop music that we all listen today has its roots from Indian classical music only. Pop uses the same musical terminologies and methods that are used in classical music. So it is classical music which is the root of a diverse tree what we call as music, and all other genres are all branches of it. If Indian classical music wouldn't have been established by early age musicians and gurus, then I'm afraid we couldn't have experienced the charm of our favourite popstars or singers.

Music is an art in which melody is involved, the strength of classical music which has given birth to various styles in music, it completely depends on ones own interest to what kind of music they want to listen for, ultimately beauty of music lies in melody & rhythm which inspires them to listen to it always hence I respect & love classical music from which actual music has originated.

ALL kind of Music has charm in it, its Eternal & people Choice.

Music is a medium of expressing one's own feeling. Introduction of pop music in India is not bad. But the way youth have started hating our own classical music, pop music seems disaster. Its not bad to respect the culture of other's. But at the same time it is not proper to hate our own civilization.

Foreigners love our classical music and that's what we are famous for. But we only start hating it, then what will be it's effect on the foreigners ? today's youth are crazy over pop music, but they don't respect our own cultural music. And that's really a big compliment to Indian culture.

Pop music is becoming popularize in our contemporary fast beat life. The music company, media are promoting & advertising the pop music in such a manner that it is becoming more appealing to the youth. Classical music fetch fame whereas pop music yield money. So, the youth are getting little chance to come in contact with classical music which is leading themselves towards spiritual deterioration. Henceforth they are losing their interest in indulging themselves in social welfare work.

I think classical music is much better than pop music. We can't understand the lyrics of pop music because there is no meaningless word but in classical music there is a melody ton with emotion. This works as a medicine in our mind. In pop music we just can hear the instrumental sound but can't hear the lyrics. In case of classical music the lyrics sounds so sweet that one can feel the life so nice.

According to me pop music and classical music are the branches of same tree music. It is really situational. We listen to classical music for its melody but pop music is the symbol of enjoyment.

Hi friends.

Basically most important thing is why do we need to listen the music? there are many reasons as it depends on everyone's thinking. Music meant for peace of mind and harmony to the life and for that classical music is best than other at the same time pop-music is sign of passion, so all its depend on one's mood and mentality what to listen and when.

Classical and pop music have their own identity and popular among their followers. Youth is more attracted to pop and oldies are more attracted to classical music. Impact of western culture on youth is one of the reason behind liking of pop music by youth, the one who like classical music are considered as off-fashion.

But root is root and leaf is leaf, As Sanskrit is mother of all languages, classical music is a root of all musics and gives peace of mind. And peace of mind is permanent and essential purpose of listening music.
