classical music

Whether you're a cellist who only listens to Bach, a noise musician working on your first ambient album, or just a casual enjoyer of good tunes, we've put together a symphony of memes for every kind of music enthusiast. This list is kinda like jazz—chaotic but structured by an underlying theme.

Okay, so looking through music memes obviously isn't as good as listening to the actual music itself. That being said, we hope it will serve as some sort of consolation prize for when you can't put your headphones on. Now please enjoy!

Music is something we can all come together over. No matter your religion, political leanings or ethnicity, everyone likes music (and never trust someone who says they don't). Scroll for some music-related memes for every genre.

As laypeople, we have the tendency to put brilliant artists on a pedestal, forgetting that they too are human just like us. However, more often than not they face the same sorts of adversities as the rest of us would, and sometimes making it big just comes down to sheer luck.

Composer Ludwig van Beethoven was certainly of no exception, as this fascinating Twitter thread written by classical pianist doodlyroses will explain. It may be long, but trust us when we say that it's completely worth the read.

If you grew up playing classical music, then these memes are guaranteed to bring back memories for you.
