I think it’s just a bunch of literature graduates who are creating this hype around Shakespeare and sort of circlejerking and making it like a big thing so that their useless degree somehow remains relevant

    I look at most of the classical composers in the same way. Beethoven, Bach, Mozart and the like have reason that they’ve been studied and reinterpretdd for as long as they have. Modern popularity doesn’t have the persistance of time to judge against. As much as I might like the guys and their influence on modern music I can’t imagine anyone will be studying the works of Ozzy Osbourne or Kurt Cobain 400 years from now.
